This restaurant is delicious!!! I friend recommended and let me tell you, it was like being back in Italy. We order a pizza and a spaghetti with pork. Both were amazing. We definitely adding this place to our favorite restaurants in Houston. The service was also great. Andrea, was very cordial and attended to my wife and I promptly and always with a smile. As I said: Delicious!!

I had a wonderful experience at Impero Italiano. The place is small and cozy, with a warm, family atmosphere and a touch of tradition. Since I love gnocchi, I decided to order it on my first visit, and it was the right choice; I enjoyed every bite. I also ordered their homemade limoncello, which was good. My godson really relished every piece of his pizza. The service is special, they give you time to order and enjoy the food. I recommend visiting and giving it a try. I'll definitely be coming back soon. There are still many dishes on the menu I'm eager to sample. Grazie

Found this place by chance. We dropped my daughter off at Memorial City Mall to hang out with her social group; decided to eat lunch on that side of town. The first place was closed due to a power outage...a google search of restaurants in the area and scrolled down the list. We are now really glad that the first restaurant was closed. We chose to share a pizza. These pizzas are not the "trendy" picks that show up on other pizza restaurant menus. Sapore di Mare is delicious. They do have multiple pasta dishes to chose from on the menu. Ordered 2 desserts, the Tiramisu and the Cassatina Siciliana. If you like Tiramisu, theirs is good. The dessert winner is their Cassatina Siciliana. It you do not like really sweet, order one of their espressos to drink with it. We live in the greater Houston Heights so, yes, Impero Italiano is a drive for us, but one we will be now be making, it is that good. Make sure you read their Impero House Rules in the back of the menu...we will be back to soak in their atmosphere.
