$29 Three Course Lunch in West U: Magdalena’s Trattoria and Pizzeria

If you’re on the hunt for your new go-to Italian restaurant that feels like a hidden gem, Magdalena’s Trattoria and Pizzeria in West University is a must-visit! This family-owned trattoria serves up authentic Italian dishes bursting with flavor and made with love. From scratch-made pasta to wood-fired pizzas, every bite transports you straight to Italy.

One of the standout offerings here is the Pronto Special Lunch– it’s the perfect mid-day treat, available Tuesday through Friday from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM. The special is a three-course feast that’s both delicious and a fantastic deal! For just $29, you’ll start with your choice of soup or salad. For the main course, select one of their freshly made pasta or perfectly crisp wood-fired pizzas. And no Italian meal is complete without dessert—this special ends on a sweet note with a dolci of your choice which is also made in-house! 

While the lunch special is a standout, we have to give a special shoutout to the Flash Fried Artichoke. It’s not part of the deal, but trust us, it’s worth ordering. Crispy, flavorful, and utterly addictive. This dish is as tasty as is beautiful– and the presentation is gram-worthy!

Magdalena’s charming atmosphere adds to the experience, with warm decor and a welcoming vibe that makes it a great spot for a casual lunch or a celebratory outing. The chef/owner, Nicolas has cooked all over the world and it’s such a treat that he’s brought his experience to Houston! It’s clear that he has passion for his restaurant, and will likely stop by to personally check in. For authentic Italian flavors served with heart, Magdalena’s Trattoria and Pizzeria is the kind of place you’ll want to return to again and again. Plan your visit soon—you won’t regret it!
