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. The restaurant’s extensive wine list features a large selection of Italian wines, as well as a section of California’s finest vintners.
