About the restaurant

Inspired by our roots on the Adriatic Coast, our family opened Albi’s Vite Italian Kitchen to serve authentic homemade Italian dishes like scratch-made Lasagna, mouthwatering Shrimp Alfredo, or creamy Chicken Florentine. Pair any dish with our extensive wine menu, or follow it with decadent tiramisu for the perfect final course.

We are so proud to serve our San Antonio community. Our restaurant will always be as warm and inviting as our own home. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us for anything you need.

Our waitress Marlene was AMAZING! She was attentive, happy and efficient. The food was delicious! Everyone ordered something different and all of us were delighted with our choices and took home leftovers. We had cocktails to start then ordered a bottle of Decoy. The other Couple had dessert and after dinner drinks which they enjoyed. I tried the cookies and cream Gelato and thought it was great. The bread that was brought out immediately was hot, flavorful and plentiful. The only negative was the Birthday Party in the bar was very loud. Fortunately, they were done by 7:00. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. The cost for what you are served is totally acceptable. Our bill was $133.00 with a 20% tip. That included two cocktails, a bottle of wine and 2 entrees.

An excellent lunch today, with superb service. Bowtie pasta with cured meat and spinach in a cheesy butter cream sauce for her and fried calamari with a great marinara for me. It's holy week, and the restaurant was nearly empty of the regulars at lunch.

Wonderful people run this place. Excellent kitchen staff. Small neighborhood place. Surprise spectacular appetizer last night was a bruschetta with foie gras,arugula & aged balsamic. A simple selection of wines at reasonable prices. I think they should offer a few additional choices without going to the reserve list. Love Ravello!

Welcome to Maggiano's Little Italy in San Antonio. We are located at The Rim, centrally located near The Alamo, the San Antonio Riverwalk, and Sea World. Our dining room is ideal for family-style dining with our Italian–American cuisine, reminiscent of a Sunday night visit to your grandmother’s house -- or as they say in Italy, nonna’s casa! These delicious dishes paired with great service, generous portions and a warm atmosphere keep our guests and their families coming back for more.

About the restaurant

Located at the "Gateway to Southtown," the Historic and Majestic Firehouse #7 is home to Battalion. After a nearly two year renovation, "The Rock" has been restored as the crown jewel of Southtown. Overlooking the spectacular downtown cityscape and the famous Tower of Americas, Battalion's contemporary design merges perfectly alongside the historic building's strong, yet weathered 1920's craftsmanship. Chef Davis has created an extensive menu of fresh pastas, char-grilled meats, stunning vegetable dishes and Italian classics. Complimenting the menu is a comprehensive wine list and a refreshingly original cocktail program.

We are in San Antonio on vacation. The Battalion was recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint. The food was excellent and the service was the best. We had the bread with the Herbed Butter and the Whipped Ricotta, the Spinach Dumplings, Spinach Manicotti, and the Chicken Parmesan. I would definitely recommend all of it. Very filling.
