Best Italian: Milton\u2019s<\/b><\/p>\n

This is Italian food, leveled up. The modern Italian stunner from acclaimed Houston restaurateur Benjy Levit (Benjy\u2019s, Local Foods, Lee\u2019s Den, Maximo), chef Seth Siegel-Gardner (yes, that Pass & Provisions alum) and the Local Foods Group brings bold, cheffy spins to comforting classics. Start with the three-day fermented sourdough garlic knots with oozing burrata and shaved truffle, or the chargrilled oysters drenched in Calabrian butter. The pasta program is the star here, with stunners like mortadella-stuffed agnolotti, and a rotating 100-layer lasagna that\u2019s as decadent as it sounds\u2013plus uxe hits like branzino with salsa verde and crispy chicken parm. Everything hits.<\/p>\n
