Reviewing Gina’s: Authentic Italian just outside of Houston, Texas.

Gina’s is a phenomenal Italian restaurant located outside of Houston. It opened its doors in May 2012 and is well known in the area for its homemade pasta dishes, pizzas, and desserts. The menu is diverse with numerous options. Former coworkers have complimented the restaurant on its use of Sicilian and French cooking methods for its dishes.

This restaurant is hidden away in a small shopping center, which hides its active and lively atmosphere. Faithful locals routinely show up to support this business. The interior design feels like a kitchen open to the public. It also has that nostalgic gangster appeal with various mobster pictures and mementos on the walls. Gina’s encompasses both a family restaurant and a love for cooking with its substantial number of gourmet pasta meals.

Gina’s has a multitude of tasty food selections. Bread is brought to the table with oil, garlic, and a mix of other spices. Each dish comes with a free salad and a choice of handmade dressing. Their Italian dressing is a favorite for its unique and creamy texture. The lasagna, ravioli with meat or cream sauce, and stuffed shells are some unbelievably delicious and popular plates of pasta at Gina’s. They also have a delightful selection of wines to pick from. The staff helps customers with questions and pairings with their wine selections when asked. The chocolate cake, strawberry cake, and tiramisu are some delicious, popular dessert options.

I ordered lasagna on my last visit because it is my top favorite dish here and is a must-try when coming to Gina’s. The lasagna was remarkably appetizing, extraordinarily rich, and well-proportioned in ingredients. It is truly a fan favorite for customers that go here. The pasta layers are very fresh, soft, and doughy. The red sauce is a balance of mildly sweet, slight tartness, and savory. The cheese is abundant throughout the plate with a sharp, rich taste and thick, gooey texture. The meat portion is plentiful, juicy, and thoroughly seasoned. This lasagna clearly tastes homemade, and it is very aromatic. The lasagna is a great option for those who crave a cheesy, saucy casserole or simply wish to pick a more basic, traditional Italian dish. My other favorites, ravioli, and stuffed shells, taste quite different but are still prepared with intense care like the lasagna.

The service at Gina’s is deeply welcoming and hospitable, but not overbearing. The staff works in tandem with the management to provide an exceptional experience for all patrons. The owner greets all the customers with a warm smile as they are eating their meal and makes sure they are enjoying themselves. The employees at Gina’s are always polite and genuinely happy with both customers and each other. The positive energy is prominent among the entire staff and their system of service is top-notch. This establishment is open seven days a week and has become even more popular than it was in its earlier years. Gina’s strives for excellence and improvement with no explanation needed. The meal portions are highly filling, the prices are very fair, and the environment is simultaneously classy and casual. If you have a craving for an exciting meal consisting of pasta, cheese, and sauce, you need to try Gina’s as soon as possible.
