Iggy’s

Iggy's, a new-wave Wedgewood-Houston Italian spot, refuses to take themselves too seriously. Sure, they have the classics like spaghetti agile e olio and a gorgeous bolognese, but it’s also a place where you’ll see a large graffiti mural of a pasta maker, plenty of cheetah-print chairs, and couples sharing giant swirls of soft serve. Order some cream cheese-stuffed brioche that arrives to the table like a garlic-laden Holy Grail—primed to fill whatever Nashville-pothole-sized void you’ve got in your life—and melt into a plate of plump lobster slipped into a silky fra diavolo sauce. Or, just reserve a seat at the counter for their “No Decision Sundays,” where you’ll get a bottle of wine and a six-course dinner that comes with two starters, three pastas, and a dessert, all decided by the restaurant. They’ve never let us down so far.
