Bringing authentic regional Italian cuisine to Houston's soulful dining scene, native Sardinian Efisio Farris opened Arcodoro with his wife in 1996 to a loyal foodie following that has kept the dapper little ristorante among the city's most popular for the past decade-plus. A beautiful Galleria crowd sips grappa (Italian brandy), a glass of family label wine or a specialty cocktail (such as the Fruittini, a fruity vodka drink) while dining on equally beautiful, rustic Sardinian fare. The menu's flavorful, seafood-rich dishes reflect the island's Spanish and Italian heritage, while the range of choices from whole baked fish to pizzas from the wood-burning oven illustrate the restaurant's casual yet sophisticated atmosphere. Whether enjoying house-made shrimp-and-scallop-stuffed ravioli in the white tablecloth dining room or feasting upon one of Houston's favorite rib-eyes on the more relaxed patio, Acrodoro consistently delivers a top-notch dining experience. Full bar. Serving lunch Mon–Fri, dinner nightly. Sat–Sun brunch 11 am–5 pm.
