Wow what an amazing experience. We ordered off the restaurant week menu for dinner. For starters I had grilled calamari and my wife got the eggplant dip. The grilled calamari was to die for. It came with veggies and a soup. The eggplant dip was also great and had a great depth of flavor. For our mains we had the squash pizza and the proper pasta. The bread for the pizza was fresh and flavorful and the squash made the pizza whole. The pasta was great as well. For dessert I had the olive oil cake and my wife had something like a chocolate pudding. Both were amazing and not overly sweet. We sat at the bar and the bartender was super helpful with the menu and very knowledgeable about the restaurant. We will be definitely be coming back.

We had a great Italian food experience at Coltivare. Defined recommend making reservations for this place. We were seated in the outdoor backyard area. It was a nice area with trees around. Get the covered patio section if you would like to be under the shade with fans. The food we tried were all delicious. The roasted hazelnuts and cauliflower made great appetizers. For the entrées, we tried the Margherita pizza and the cheese pepper pasta, cacio e pepe. Both were well done. Service was quick and attentive. Parking was on the street. They had good drinks. The desserts were great too. Will be back for more!

Oh my goodness! Best Italian food I have eaten in Houston. The staff were incredibly attentive and kind. The food was amazing. I loved the fresh herbs and squash flowers on the salad. The bread was super hot out of the oven (yum!) And our pasta couldn't have been better. We had a great experience and look forward to dining outside in the garden when it cools down.

Those random moments where you just go with the flow... those last minute plans...
@coltivarehtx was exceptional!! That sums up our experience perfectly. When you enter the doors you're greeted by a lively room of diners. A sophisticated rustic interior that is dimly lit is a pleasant first impression. We opted for the patio and were surprised by the expansive hidden oasis that was beyond the restaurant doors. It was simply divine. Lush overgrowth of all kinds of wonderful varieties of plants and fresh herbs. Ingredients that would soon be presented at our table.
The food was incredible. Insanely fresh, hot and bursting with flavor. I could describe each dish individually but it's not necessary. Everything was foodgasmic!!
The service was also wonderful. Friendly, fast and extremely knowledgeable of everything related to the menu and restaurant. Generous portions and very well priced menu.
We will most definitely be back!! This was truly a wonderful dining experience. A must try!

I came for the pizza. People talk about your pizza and say good things. I only had 1 slice. I wouldn't come back here for pizza. My 2 friends had 2 slices each only because service was very slow... The strawberry salad was good. The artichoke dip came with rock hard crackers eww. The spaghetti tasted exactly like kraft macaroni n cheese. I didnt hate it but my 2 very well travelled friends hated it. The meatballs were good. The agnolitti pasta we did not finish. This pasta is like a little folded envelope n the thick folded ends were still too hard. The sides of potatos n corn were good. The dessert was the best item served. Our server was sweet n kind. She gets one of the stars. Overall our meal was very lackluster. I had high hopes. One said that this isnt even real italian food. The other said that was a waste of our time n money. All 3 of us said we would not come back.

My boyfriend has been trying to get us to come here since we started dating 2 years ago and I’m so glad we finally did. We showed up around 7:30 pm on a Friday and were told it would be an hour wait but ended up getting seated almost immediately because someone didn’t show for their reservation. (The party actually did end up showing and we had to switch tables which really wasn’t a big deal but the manager was so nice about it and offered to buy us dessert to make up for it. It was a very kind gesture for such a minor inconvenience). Anyway, the back garden was beautiful. The food was amazing. Our waiter made great recommendations and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the night. We had shaved brussels salad, burrata and focaccia, and then the mussels (the focaccia was so good dipped in the mussels broth), and for our entree split the onion pizza. Our complimentary dessert was a strawberry pastry dessert with homemade whipped cream. Everything tasted so fresh and wonderful. Would love to keep coming back to try other items on the menu and see how it changes with the seasons!

One of our absolute favorite date night places. Our go to is the chicken prosciutto pizza (we add mozzarella to it) and black pepper pasta. Seating either inside or outside in the garden is nice. Parking isn’t usually difficult either. The only con is that we have occasionally felt rushed as it can get very busy at night.

Great dinner or date night place. I like the patio where they grow some of their own crops. All the small plates (cauliflower, gigantes beans and mussels) we ordered tasted amazing and the black pepper spaghetti tastes fantastic too. The chocolate rum cake was good but nothing extraordinary. If I still have space for food, I will go for another small plates rather than dessert.

Great experience, from the food to the service. We didn't intend to order this much, but it's so hard to choose from this menu. Bring an appetite, and be willing to splurge a bit, as the menu prices aren't really that expensive and you can have a fantastically memorable meal for a surprisingly reasonable price.
