L'Oca d'Oro
Ingredients for the soulful Italian fare at this bright spot in Mueller are sourced seasonally from all-Texas farms. As if chef Fiore Tedesco’s current five-pasta tasting menu wasn’t enough of a draw, this restaurant also supports One Fair Wage for their employees and makes a mean carbonara. (Pro tip: Happy hour means half-priced wines and snacks.)
