Farm Fresh Italian Food & Oven Fired Pizza
Delivering fresh and flavor-filled Italian food in an inviting, industrial atmosphere, 1860 Italia opened its doors in January of 2021 and has quickly become a local favorite. In less than a year, 1860 Italia has been voted both Best New Restaurant and Best Italian Food by Brazos Valley residents. These accolades serve as affirmations to Chef Johnny’s innovative vision and menu. Chef Johnny, Owner and Head Chef at 1860 Italia, began his career with Maggiano’s Little Italy in 1998 where he was instrumental in opening three successful Maggiano’s restaurants in Texas and quickly became a Senior Manager of Culinary Research and Development. With 22 years of experience cooking in the finest restaurants, Chef Johnny has trained a staff ready to guide guests through a flavor experience like no other – from the moment they are greeted at the door, to the moment they depart.
Quality and flavor are two areas where 1860 Italia refuses to compromise. Ingredients are sourced from local farmers’ markets to ensure that only the freshest meals end up on a patron’s plate. Featuring traditional Italian dishes like spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna Bolognese, and chicken marsala as well as inventive new favorites like lobster and truffle carbonara, Calabrian crab cakes, Shrimp Oreganata, and bone-in veal chops, there is something delicious to satisfy any appetite.
Mirroring the delectable menu is the tastefully designed dining area, complete with a full bar at its center. Whether you’re looking for a glass of wine to complement your meal, or an elevated happy-hour to relax with friends after work, the bar at 1860 Italia is well-equipped to serve a variety of tastes. Additionally, the restaurant is available for private events such as business lunches, dinners, cocktail receptions, and more.
