Birraporetti's

The food here was good and so was the service. The entertainment was interesting. We had a nice time.

First let me start off by saying ALL "hot" foods were cold. I expected something a little more high end with the food quality. With these offerings, prep, and care taken (or the lack thereof) I was left thinking, "why bother offering brunch?" Just open for lunch with the regular menu. If you are not going to do brunch right, why do it at all? The only hot food item was the freshly made omelet was nothing outstanding. The lasagna which had a slight frozen food quality (or Olive Garden...ugh) about it might have been better served hot. The chicken breast topped with mozzarella cheese and a wafting of mushrooms was dry and sitting in water. Salad was okay. There were 3 unlabeled white looking dressings. Strange that an Italian restaurant did not offer an Italian dressing or balsamic vinaigrette. The dressing I tried was, I think, a watery ranch type dressing. Started off with a little ravioli stuffed with ricotta and covered in a vodka sauce. The ravioli needed to be fully cooked as the pasta was beyond chewy. Naturally it was cold. Tried their eggs Benedict. It was cold. Their hollandaise sauce was an anemic white color when it should be a beautiful yellow due to the use of egg yolks. It was cold even right out of the warmer. The Belgian waffles were pre-cooked, sitting on a tray, cold. Even the most inexpensive hotels you can have a fresh hot just made waffles. Didn't try the offered fried fish which looked like a version of Mrs Paul's fish sticks as they were not visually appealing in the least. Didn't try the sautéed shrimp as it smelled extremely "fishy" and not fresh. The pot roast was dry even when sitting in juices. I'm not sure how it could even be accomplished. The fresh strawberries and freshly whipped cream was the best thing I ate. The waitstaff, though polite and not rude, were perfunctory in their service as if they did not want to be there. Same appearance by the kitchen staff who were in full view. Hanging out on their phones. Only one Sterno under each chaffing dish instead of two. There was no slight steam when you lifted the chaffing dish too. No need for the napkin on the handle because the dish was too hot. LOL The food containers were cold to the touch. Frankly I expected better.

We stopped in for brunch last Sunday, and it exceeded my expectations. We hadn't been in since before the pandemic. It's a buffet for $22 per person. It includes tea, coffee, and soft drinks. You can also order a pitcher of peach Bellinis or mimosas for $22. The food was delicious. Caesar and Greek salads, lasagna, boiled shrimp, prime rib, fresh broccoli, chicken in a mushroom and Alfredo sauce, pizza, eggs Benedict, waffles, and the best omelet I've had in awhile. There was other stuff that I've forgotten, and a wide selection of desserts, including cannoli. Our waitress, Rhonda, gave superior service, and we will be back!!

Great local bar and Italian Restaurant. Has multiple TV's for sports at the bar. Dining area is great also. If you like music, they have weekly groups that play oldies with real instruments like guitars, saxophones and trumpets. They also have an Elvis guy frequently. Same staff for years for the most part. Food is consistent all the time. Lynn, John and Nazareth keep everything running at the bar and keep staff on track. Also, new years is always a blast with several courses, party favors and bands. Happy hour prices help the bill. Truly a Friendswood treasure.

Ate here the other night, food was great but our server Rhonda was definitely not the best, she was very rude to her coworkers and seemed to not care that people can fully hear and watched her be very unprofessional. Other than that place was great.

Nice ambiance- great that we were able to see our friends band play... BUT the food was absolutely terrible. Everything was bland and just not worth eating. Kinda like Olive Garden which is basically the Mc Donalds of Italian food. With the prices they charge - the food should be higher quality and be like someone actually cared. Service was ok, but at the end of the day - you come back to a restaurant for great food first, then service, then ambiance.

I ordered a Medium Mushroom Pizza togo the other night. This is certainly one of my top favorite pizzas down South. It had some NY vibes to it, but maybe a bit more garlicky. It was a very delicious, moist, good quality pizza that wasn't too greasy, too sweet or underdone at all. The crust was tasty and like a pita bread in a way. The red sauce was very tasty, kind of tangy holding a little sweetness at the same time. Very good tomato base. The cheese was very tasty, savory and fresh. The mushrooms were very tasty, soft, well-cooked into the pizza adding some extra substance to the rest without covering anything up. Awesome pizza all the way. Great, friendly service as well. Along with the mushroom pizza, I also love the stuffed mushroom caps, lasagna and chicken piccata here a lot.

I made a reservation one hour before going to the restaurant. I did this through their online website.When I arrived, the hostess looked at a hand drawn paper and said we were not on there. When I showed them my confirmation, they told me the website takes time to upload and so we would've had to call "a couple hours earlier." I asked why they wouldn't shut down reservations, since it was still booking. They didn't have an answer.The hostess then told us "The Mexican place further down is really good."DO NOT book a reservation online without calling. They DO NOT honor them.

The food and service was good I was there Thursday night for the live music and that was a desapointment the two hours I was there they only play max 20 minutes bad for the business

Too loud to enjoy conversations. I expected better of the food. The staff was very stressed. I wish we had gone somewhere else.
