Auntie Pasto's Bellaire

We found this gem of a restaurant one night while visiting our kids at nearby Houston Baptist University. The food is superb with large portions. I particularly appreciate the traditional lasagna and the fried ravioli. Service is outstanding. But what makes this place different is the unique ambiance, which makes Auntie Pasto's feel like that old friend you always enjoy catching up with after a long absence. The walls tell the story of a family owned business that has served the area for along time. While you eat your delicious food, you hear songs of old times, reminding you of the things that truly matter most in life - faith, family, good food and fellowship. Auntie Pasto's has now become a new tradition when we visit our kids in Houston. During all of our visits, as my wife and I listen to our now grown children's tales from college while enjoying our delicious food, I've heard Judy Garland singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" softly in the background, reminding me to capture the moment in my memory, knowing just how fleeting and special it truly is. For at it's heart, I believe that's what Auntie Pasto's is all about - great food and great memories - one family and generation at a time.
