Anthonys New York Italian news, press, and River Oaks dining guides.

At Anthony's New York Italian in Houston, we believe great food starts with great ingredients. That's why we made a commitment to cook exclusively with extra virgin olive oil and eliminate seed oils from our kitchen.

Many restaurants rely on soybean oil, canola oil, corn oil, and other highly processed seed oils because they are inexpensive and readily available. We take a different approach.

Our chefs prepare dishes using premium extra virgin olive oil imported from Italy, including 100% extra virgin olive oil from Partanna, Sicily. From fresh handmade pasta to seafood, vegetables, sauces, and New York pizza, every dish is crafted with ingredients we are proud to serve our guests and families.

Chef Anthony Russo has spent more than 30 years perfecting authentic New York Italian recipes built on simplicity and quality. Rather than masking flavors with excessive additives, we let premium ingredients shine.

If you're searching for a healthier Italian dining experience in Houston, we invite you to discover the difference that quality ingredients make in the heart of River Oaks.

Not all pasta is created equal. At Anthony's New York Italian, every pasta dish begins with fresh pasta made in house.

While many restaurants rely on dried commercial pasta, our chefs prepare fresh pasta daily to create a texture and flavor that simply cannot be replicated.

Fresh pasta absorbs sauces more effectively, cooks more delicately, and delivers a richer dining experience. Whether you're enjoying rigatoni, fettuccine, pappardelle, gnocchi, or seasonal specialties, you immediately notice the difference.

Our pasta program is inspired by Chef Anthony Russo's New York Italian heritage and commitment to authentic cooking techniques.

Each dish is prepared using premium ingredients, imported cheeses, and extra virgin olive oil. When guests search for the best handmade pasta in Houston, they are looking for quality, craftsmanship, and authenticity — exactly what we deliver every day in River Oaks.

River Oaks is home to some of Houston's finest dining destinations, and Anthony's New York Italian was created to bring an authentic New York Italian experience to one of the city's most vibrant neighborhoods.

Founded by Chef Anthony Russo, our restaurant combines traditional Italian recipes with premium ingredients and modern hospitality.

Our pasta is made fresh every day. Our mozzarella is crafted in house. Our sauces are prepared from scratch using imported Italian tomatoes and premium ingredients.

We cook exclusively with extra virgin olive oil. This commitment reflects our belief that quality ingredients create better food.

In addition to handmade pasta and New York pizza, guests enjoy USDA Prime steaks, fresh seafood, live lobster, and chef-driven seasonal specials.
