Authentic Italian cuisine from Zanti Cucina Italiana will soon be offered at a second Greater Houston location. Zanti has been serving diners at a spot in The Woodlands since 2019, and the new restaurant will be located in the River Oaks Shopping Center in Houston.
The nearly 7,800-square-foot space will feature a large patio and an expansive menu of delicious bites. Zanti was founded by Santiago Peláez, and Chef Stefano Ferrero, who grew up in Italy, serves as director of operations.
Neapolitan-style pizzas and homemade pastas are some of the menu favorites. Guests can enjoy charcuterie and fried calamari, salads, and a number of entrees: Braised Lamb Ossobuco, Chicken Piccata, and Mediterranenan Salmon, to name a few.
And, don’t forget dessert! You can try Bomboloni, which is Italian donut holes on a bed of Nutella cream and chocolate sauce, plus gelato, dessert wines, specialty coffees, and a Lemon Pie Martini. The bar menu is extensive with signature and classic Italian cocktails, wine, and beer selections.
The new Houston location at 1958 W. Gray St. is tentatively set to open sometime this November.
