- Principle
Two of Houston’s most handsome areas nestle shoulder-to-shoulder near the classic Rice University and museum district: Rice Village, a local hotspot with a charming college town feel, and the adjacent West U, a stunning, oak-lined residential neighborhood that does the south proud. Vibrant and verdant, the walkable locale bustles with young families, hip professionals and academics, giving way to an eclectic and constantly-evolving mix of bars, boutiques, foodie fare and other gems.

It all starts in the Dough Room. Handmade pasta and pizza dough (made daily, of course) set the stage for this authentic Italian trattoria, where diners devour the beautifully simple, flavorful dishes and locals flock for their after-work aperitivo. Home to cozy date nights, family gatherings and sunny brunches on the patio (we’re suckers for a yellow umbrella), Coppa’s charm stems from its cheerful sophistication… and an extensive wine and cocktail list. Oh, and the pedestrian-friendly pizza window? One slice short of genius.
