Zanti Cucina Italiana - River Oaks at 1958 W Gray St Suite 101 in Houston brings together a polished Italian menu with enough range to feel both classic and indulgent. The opening selection moves from Charcuterie Board options in Small, Medium, and Large sizes to seafood-forward crudos like Oysters, Tuna Tostada, Shrimp Ceviche, and Black Truffle Beef Tartare. Appetizers such as Mediterranean Hummus, Eggplant Parmigiana, Zanti Artichoke, Arancini, and Mediterranean Grilled Octopus set a generous tone before lighter choices like Cacio & Pepe Salad, Spinach Salad, Heirloom Tomato Carpaccio, Frutti Di Mare Soup, and Zanti Salad. The Neapolitan pizza section stands out with Heirloom Tomato Margherita, Neapolitan Pork, Caciocavallo, Lobster, and Flambe Truffle Pizza, while the pasta and risotto lineup leans rich and comforting with Rigatoni Alla Norcina, Penne Alla Vodka, Truffle Cheese Ravioli, Tagliatelle Bolognese, and Butternut Squash Ravioli. Heartier plates like Sicilian Seafood, Branzino & Crab, Salmon Alla Sarda, Chicken Parmigiana, Porcini Beef Filet, 40 Oz Tomahawk, Lamb Chops, Rib Eye Tagliata, and The Pork Chop give the menu a steakhouse edge, finished neatly with sides such as Wild Mushrooms, Truffle Fries, Brussels Sprouts, Gratin Potatoes, and Mac & Cheese.
