d'Alba

Houston in March is delightful. And in case it gets a little nippy at night you can just head over to the heated patio at d’Albas which transports you to a seaside dining experience on the pier in Santa Monica. This place has a very smart menu that seems to hit the right notes: from artisan style pizza to hummus accompanied by heirloom carrots. The mezcal, grilled pineapple cocktail is dank. None of it is particularly expensive which made me think that this restaurant is the equivalent of those comfortable but stylish dress shoes that are all the rage these days.

We love this neighborhood spot. Good drinks and food. The patio area is awesome too. We don’t have kids but they have a great area for kids to play. We love the honey pepperoni pizza! It’s so different.
Service is also excellent we always have the most friendly wait staff.

What a great patio bar restaurant! The food was made with fresh ingredients and had great flavors. They also had a great happy hour selection!! It was also very kid friendly with a playground in the back patio area. Definitely recommend for dinner, brunch or just to try out their happy hour cocktails!!

This is such a cute spot with a lovely collection of food options. The star of the show is definitely their pizza, though. It is made fresh to order and not greasy at all. The staff is also very friendly, which is always appreciated.
