Editorial Review for Mi Piaci – by Holly Hickman
The Scene
This destination offers water views with floor-to-ceiling glass revealing a lovely pond with fountains. It's a little bit of Lake Como in Texas. A black-and-white color scheme flecked with gold, an enormous iron clock and private dining areas add elan to the already elegant restaurant.
The Food
The menu features consistently prepared Italian dishes. The tender carpaccio gets a peppery jolt from parmigiano-dusted arugula leaves. The simple insalata d'arugula dresses those leaves with high-quality olive oil. Gnocchi with wild boar ragu teams tiny, tender handmade herbed dumplings with the sauce. Handmade ravioli is stuffed with cremini mushrooms, and tossed with bright green asparagus and sumptuous white-truffle oil. The panna cotta is a light and creamy pudding infused with orange, and the tiramisu is buoyant and flavorful.

Where to SitMost tables have water views, but ask for it when you make reservations.
Know Before You GoThe restaurant is at the end of a cluster of other eateries. Turn onto Montfort and keep going until you see the awning on your left.

Mi Piaci is my favorite Italian resturant. The ambiance and food are absolutely wonderful!! The pastas are freshly made and the seafood is always done right! Love the torto fusio chocolate cake and is a must have! Everything is great on the menu and I have never had a problem! I would suggest reservations on the weekend. They started doing a Power Lunch Buffet and I thought it was really good. The selection is great with lots of options (salads, appetizers, pastas). I would try it out since the selection changes daily.
Pros: Great Food, View, Service
Cons: None

Easter Brunch was a major disappointment. There was a minimal selection of some very bland dishes. Food was cold in most instances. Steamship round, Ceasar Salad and desert sampler were the high points. Very overpriced for what was offered. Dining area was crowded and very noisy creating a very poor atmosphere.
Pros: Steamship Round, Ceasar Salad, Desert Sampler
Cons: Cold Food, Noisy Dining Room, Poor Selection on brunch buffet
