Coltivare is a Heights neighborhood restaurant serving rustic Italian cuisine with a Gulf Coast perspective, dictated by Houston's growing season and our backyard garden.
“Our second time here and let me say - we love this place. Everything we got was delicious and Obi (or OB, not sure how it’s spelled) always provides exceptional service. It’s a small intimate place so be sure to make a reservation as they fill up quickly. Highly recommend, especially for date night!”
“Lenora the GM and Elyse our server took exceptional care of me and my date. They just earned two new regulars. Beautiful patio and great food. Had the bolognese and the brussels sprout pizza. For dessert we enjoyed the pistachio chocolate rum cake. Already planning our trip back!”
“My wife and I visited Coltivare in the Heights last night to celebrate a dear friend’s birthday, and it was such a wonderful evening! 🎂 The location is absolutely phenomenal, and while the interior is beautifully decorated and you really feel well taken care of, it can get quite loud inside, making conversation a bit of a challenge. Because of this, I highly recommend opting for a seat outside—it’s the perfect setting to enjoy your company without having to raise your voice, though the noise inside certainly shouldn't deter you from visiting this gem. 🌿 The service was perfect from start to finish. We had a reservation and were seated immediately, which was a huge plus. Every dish and drink we tried was absolutely delicious and expertly crafted. We started off with some fantastic small plates, including fresh, flavorful pasta and savory bites, before moving on to the main courses and rounding out the night with a truly decadent dessert. The cocktails were just as impressive, perfectly mixed and a great accompaniment to our meal. 🍹🍝 Even with the lively atmosphere, we loved every moment of our experience and will definitely be back. ⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Ive been to this restaurant countless times, always had a great experience, today they let me down big time. I’ve been waiting for them to put back the pappardelle bolognese.. since they’re a seasonal restaurant they change the menu. Finally they have it back and of course i ordered it. To my surprise, there was not meat or sauce to be found in the pasta, it just tasted like cooked pasta with tomato water. I called and talked to the manager asking them to make it right, I was really craving this, even though showed it to him, he just said that it’s portioned that way and if I wanted by money back, I suggested hey if you make it right I can juts be on my way… nope… he didn’t even offer to add a little more sauce ad not cost. He preferred to give me my $27 + tax back. Here’s when you see how a manager can damage the reputation of a place, it could’ve been a simple fix, he decided to make it an unpleasant interaction. I took a video so you judge for yourself. If this was $12 ok … but $30????? For comparison I added 2 other pics from Google Maps of the same pasta here… they can’t say my dish was portioned correctly”
“Ran in at 10 for a quick bite. Already knew what we wanted based off of others reviews & recommendations. Ordered a red cab, one of the cocktails, olives, focaccia & spaghetti. When ordering the focaccia our server asked if we would like to add the salsa verde or burrata. We denied both as we just wanted to try the bread as is. He then asked if we would like some olive oil & balsamic vinegar on the side. We said sure assuming it was complimentary (our fault for not asking). Everything came out quickly - and service was fine the rest of the evening. Focaccia tasted like pizza crust. Nothing special and would not recommend ever. Spaghetti was delicious. Drinks were great. Not happy about the surprise charge for olive oil & balsamic but oh well…”
