I was at the galveston railroad museum this weekend and checked out this sicilian restaurant on a tip from a friend called trattoria la vigna. The lady was a real sicilian and food was damn good. Worth checking out if you're in the area. That makes two authentic italian restaurants I've found in the area plus one pasta maker. I'm set.
Congratulations on this discovery. Have you ever considered using modern day tools such as Yelp or Google to assist in your quest?
You are one of the most interesting people on this board. You have some very unique interests. I think you and Bigtexxx should go on a day trip to Moody Gardens and report back how it goes.... perhaps use greyhound to get there... would love to see how texxxy handles getting bedbugs or consumption from some disease ridden drifter.
I still can't get over the railroad museum breh. Like what's there to see, railroads? Like who watches that. Ain't nobody got time fo dat.
It is only truly authentic if I walk in and a fat guy in a tailored suit is being fed spaghetti by a beautiful woman. The first time I was in NYC about 15 years ago I walked in to a random authentic Italian restaurant... and I get the one with the mobster being fed. It was hilarious.

Me: "Excuse me...I'm looking for a house to rent in Sicily. My friend says you can't rent one as none are available ever anywhere." Restaurant patron: "Si...I have a house for rent in Sicily. Two thousand dollars for a week. Here are the keys. You pay." Me: "I'm not saying I wanted to rent one...I was just looking for one to see if one was available to rent cause my friend the Maestro said..." Restaurant patron: "Si...Sicily...here are the keys. Two thousand dollars for a week." Me: "Did I say Sicily? I meant Tuscany. I'm sorry...I'm in the wrong restaurant." My stupid play on a Seinfeld episode. Surfguy bows and then is shot in the head by an offended restaurant patron in a Galveston Sicilian restaurant for not actually renting the house in Sicily. Dang, I miss Seinfeld. Still the best comedy on TV ever...and I never get tired of watching re-runs of it.
