On April 17th 1945, Frank Azzarelli made Bayou City history by opening up Houston's first and only Italian restaurant - Azzarelli's Spaghetti House - on old Post Oak Road.
Serving up traditional Italian food favorites, the restaurant became an immediate hit with locals eager for authentic Italian cooking - and was even frequented by some of the world's biggest celebrities of the time, including Bob Hope and Marilyn Monroe.
In 1998, history was made again when critically-acclaimed chef, Frank Triola (grandson to Frank Azzarelli), resurrected the legendary Azzarelli's. From 1998 to 2001, Triola successfully owned and operated Azzarelli's on Eldridge Parkway receiving many awards and accolades for his food, including 21 media write-ups. In the past few years, Azzarelli's has been thriving in its new location on Memorial Drive. Chef Triola has been wowing his new clientele, including the Houston Rockets, Plex athletes, and other Houston locals, with Traditional Italian, New American and Southwestern inspired menu items.
Want a taste of Azzarelli's past glory? Try Papa Azzarelli's Mushrooms - filled with veal and breadcrumbs, topped with Fontina cheese and finished with lemon-butter basil sauce - they're just like the ones Papa use to make.

I love Skol's because the staff is so wonderful and detailed to their clients. Dominique is down to earth and has a great personality. He will put you in the party mood. This is the best kept secret in Houston. You must
Going through the drive through, I order and unsweet, large, ice tea. The cashier lady got the order correct on the receipt, so then I pull up to pick up the drink. The guy hands me a drink without telling me what it is.
Always consistently good food, lovely and quiet atmosphere. The music is at the correct level, so you can actually hear your companion(s) easily. Interesting specials. Good wine list. Friendly and personable service.
I order 3 hamburger combo and the service was great and very kind and friendly.I will tell any and everyone about Hardy Grill (Restaurant ). Keep up the good work.
AWSOME!! AWSOME!! AWSOME!! Now that Grooves has changed management the service is amazing!! I had my birthday party there and rented out the entire stage, We had a blast!!!
Great Location with an awsome menu. We went on thursday night and they have a belly dancer which put on a good show. I hope they keep a good service because most of these restaurants get greedy and do bad at the end.
