🌿 This Houston restaurant grows its own ingredients!

Located in the Heights, Coltivare Pizza & Garden @coltivarehtx has been a Houston staple since opening in 2014. Founded by chef Ryan Pera and restaurateur Morgan Weber, this Italian-inspired restaurant is known for its seasonal cooking, house-made pastas, and wood-fired pizzas.

One of the coolest things about Coltivare is its approximately 3,000-square-foot garden, where the team grows herbs, vegetables, and other seasonal ingredients used in the kitchen. The owners even faced months of permitting delays because they wanted to preserve the garden rather than turn the space into additional parking!

🍽️ Here’s what we tried:

🍗 Chicken wings with chiles, lemon verbena, and basil

🌽 Fried heirloom okra with tomatoes and black garlic aioli

🍝 Tagliatelle verde with Texas wild boar ragù, fennel, lemon, and pecorino Toscano

🍕 Wild Gulf shrimp pizza with spinach, spicy tomato sauce, black olives, and chiles

🍗 Wood-grilled chicken with agrodolce, pine nuts, and pickled grapes

🍰 Roasted pumpkin crostata with mascarpone cream

My favorites? The tagliatelle verde was the standout savory dish! The green pasta paired beautifully with the rich, savory Texas wild boar ragù, balanced by fennel, lemon, and pecorino Toscano.

The dessert favorite was the roasted pumpkin crostata, but my cousins @carmelosingh & @splashdaddy did not agree. The buttery, flaky pastry paired with the seasonal pumpkin filling and mascarpone cream made for an incredible dessert.

The wild Gulf shrimp pizza was another highlight, combining sweet shrimp, spicy tomato sauce, briny olives, and a chewy, beautifully blistered crust.

What happens to the rest of the fish once the fillets are cut? We make fumé. Fish bones, aromatics, onions, citrus peels and water come together to make a flavorful broth that we’ll use to cook our fregola, currently featured on our grouper plate. taken in Coltivare by @coltivarehtx
