Poscol in Houston

Large portions! A wonderful meal from beginning to end! The wait staff was great and attentive. We ordered a flat bread as an appetizer, and you could tell it was homemade, even down to the sauce and the crust. They do make homemade past as well, and you can taste the difference. We ordered the zeppolis (fried dough) for dessert. Everything is bigger in Texas, especially the food. The desserts were no different!

Visited yesterday for wine and a few appetizers. Ordered mushroom risotto, which had nice flavor, but did not seem to be the right texture - a bit watery. The eggplant crostini, in the other hand, was delicious. The toasted piece of bread was substituted with a fried eggplant slice. Tasty! Nice interior. Would suggest a reservation on busy evenings.

I went to Vinoteca Poscol on a Friday evening with my girlfriend because we wanted to try something new in the Montrose area.  We never knew this place existed even though it's in a pretty known area (very close to Uchi).  It's definitely easy to miss as their signs are not very noticeable.  They have a private parking lot, but it's valet parking only.  There's a police officer guarding the restaurant at the valet, and he told me that police offers guard all 3 of the owner's restaurants just to make sure no funny business happens. When we got inside, we noticed how dark and intimate the setting was.  However, since the tables were quite close together, it was actually VERY noisy, which was unexpected for this candlelit, romantic atmosphere.  We were instantly seated in the front dining area.  Service was a bit slow, but it was understandable for a Friday night.  Our waitress brought out bread wrapped up in paper.  It didn't come with any olive oil and vinegar or even any butter, which I thought was pretty weird.  We had to ask for some butter for the bread.  The table did NOT have any salt or pepper either, but was also pretty bizarre.  However, they had a little cup of crispy bread sticks sealed in plastic to munch on like snacks. Overlooking the menu, we went with the sweet potato fries ($7.00), bruschette pomodoro ($5.00), caprese insalata ($11.00), and the tagliatelle bolognese ($12.00).  The sweet potato fries were soft and very potato-y, which was good, but they were also kind of bland.  I felt they needed some salt, but again, there was no salt or pepper on the table.  The caprese salad was good, but my girlfriend did say she didn't like the presentation of it.  She wishes the cheese was cut up more and...
