Our Candelari’s family dishes and recipes reach back several generations. We proudly offer an exceptional selection of authentic Italian dishes, local favorites, and of course our renowned Candelari’s Sausage
Ask almost any native Houstonian about Candelari’s Italian restaurant and pizzeria in Houston, and most likely the first thing you will hear is something about our signature Italian sausage. Given that our restaurant developed almost naturally out of the renowned, Candelari’s Sausage Company, this is no surprise. And while we have grown to become one the most recognizable and best Italian restaurants and pizzerias in Houston, we are very proud of our modest roots.

Candelaris is your destination for an authentic Italian restaurant experience, including woodfire pizza, fresh pasta, excellent wine, and amazing desserts. Our Candelari’s family dishes and recipes reach back several generations. We proudly offer an exceptional selection of authentic Italian dishes, local favorites, and of course our renowned Candelari’s Sausage
Ask almost any native Houstonian about Candelari’s Italian restaurant and pizzeria in Houston, and most likely the first thing you will hear is something about our signature Italian sausage. Given that our restaurant developed almost naturally out of the renowned, Candelari’s Sausage Company, this is no surprise. And while we have grown to become one the most recognizable and best Italian restaurants and pizzerias in Houston, we are very proud of our modest roots.

We first tried Canderlari’s during HRW in the fall of 2024, which we enjoyed very much. We went back last night and were quite pleased that it was just as good as we remembered from the first time.
We will definitely return.

Then waitstaff is excellent and the food is delicious. Compared to most white table restaurants, it’s a value, EVEN OUR BOTTLE OF WINE WAS NOT OVERPRICED!!!

Even though we had reservations, we had to wait for a table. One of guests ordered a pizza with chicken and a pepperoni pizza was delivered to her. They took the wrong pizza back and she had to wait ten more minutes for the correct pizza.

We love this place and come here almost every time we come to Houston. We try to sit outside in the patio when we can.

I’ve been going to Candelaris for many years, but they’ve recently made some significant changes to their service and staff, it really feels like a high end Italian restaurant now- the service tonight was top notch. But it’s still very much a local’s spot. They have upped their game and it shows.
