Perry's Italian Grille

This is one of the best and most romantic Italian restaurants in the Clear Lake area. Since Perry's started out as a meat market, you'd expect the meat here to be excellent - and it is. This white-tablecloth place does well with steaks, pork chops and veal dishes. The arancini appetizer of stuffed rice balls is a must-try. The pasta dishes are also adventurous, with spinach and crab fettuccine and Perry's Pasta (Alfredo sauce, peas, prosciutto and mushrooms) among the favorites. Desserts like the White Belgian Chocolate Cheesecake and the Nutty D'Angelo (ice cream topped with almonds, white chocolate and praline sauce) are homemade.
