This old-school throwback reminds one of simpler times, when families still got together over Sunday prime rib. Not coincidentally, Laurenzo’s offers one of the best prime ribs in Houston. Owner Domenic Laurenzo—who’s not only the grandson of Mama Ninfa Laurenzo, but has Italian heritage on his family’s Mandola side—also offers Tex-Mex and Italian dishes. Naturally, we like the prime rib quesadillas.
