UPSCALE, MODERN ITALIAN IN DOWNTOWN HOUSTON
Voted “One of the Most Romantic Restaurants” in Houston, with “One of the Best Pastas in the Country.” Come in and see what the hype is about at this chic downtown Houston restaurant.
about us
Potente, the modern Italian restaurant from Houston Astros-Owner Jim Crane, is located in downtown Houston across the street from Minute Maid Park and next door to the more casual trattoria, Osso & Kristalla.
It’s fitting to have the restaurants so close to where the Houston Astros play, since baseball is the great family pastime as much as gathering around the table is to enjoy a meal.
AWARD WINNING FOOD
The menu features daily seafood selections, homemade pastas and USDA steaks. In November 2020, Potente’s truffle pasta was featured as “One of the Best Pastas in the Country” by the Food Network.
In 2025, we have been listed as one of the “Top Italian Restaurants in Houston” by the Houston Chronicle and a Diner’s Choice Restaurant on OpenTable.
PRIVATE DINING
