There are too many great restaurants in Galveston to even begin to name them all, so I am adding my personal favorites. Mama T's as the locals call it, is an authentic Italian restaurant with home made pizza crust, pasta and everything! The pizza crew lead by owner and pizza tosser, Carmen, love to wow the crowd by seeing how high they can toss the pizza dough. Sometimes it hits the ceiling and then gets to tossed to the kids for them to play with. You won't regret an evening here!! Open for dinner only. Quaint dining area.

There are too many great restaurants in Galveston to even begin to name them all, so I am adding my personal favorites. The rich and famous don't visit Galveston without a stop here. It is located just around the corner from the Old Opera House and features delicious, local seafood dishes in a quaint dining area. The owner is there every night making sure the guests are enjoying the experience, and it is an experience. If you are in a larger group, I dare you to order a martini! Pricey, but worth it!! If you want to impress your client or love interest, do bring them here. Must make reservations.

The free Galveston-Bolivar ferry ride takes you to the Bolivar Peninsula, a smaller, but bustling beach attraction in the warmer months. Pack a lunch and cooler, because the lines can be quite long! Or be smart, and just park and walk on, and ride there and back. You are sure to see dolphin!
