" Overall, a pretty good experience but had a couple of hiccups. The food was excellent, with the spaghetti al tartufo being the highlight. But we waited a little too long for our appetizers to be served. It was great that they were busy, but it could have been managed better. Still, it was a nice evening, and I will likely return to give it another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" Everything was excellent! My recent experience at Potente left me impressed. The staff was personable and attentive, and the food was bursting with flavor. The truffle pasta is an absolute winner here, and the cocktail choices pair perfectly with the food. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a high-end restaurant in Houston! " (*Curated Review*)

" An impressive dining experience! The pasta was fresh and tasted incredible, easily surpassing what I've had at other Italian places. Service was attentive and courteous, and they even accommodated a dietary restriction. It's a bit pricey, but worth every penny for a special occasion. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic place! This restaurant provides a perfect mix of elegance and charm. The waitstaff were incredibly attentive and knowledgeable. The charred octopus was divine! The only minor issue was the dessert, which wasn't as impressive compared to the rest of the meal. I will come back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic dinner experience. While the main courses were good, the appetizers were the highlight. The squid ink pasta was an unusual and interesting choice, which I enjoyed. The service was friendly, but at times felt a bit distracted. Overall satisfied! " (*Curated Review*)
