Sometimes, you just have to go old school. I had planned this week to review a promising new restaurant that I recently saw in my travels around the area. Turns out, it's so new that it's not even open yet. Searching for a Plan B, I struck upon Corelli's Italian Cafe, the long-time restaurant on Highway 6 in Sugar Land.

I'm not entirely sure when Corelli's first opened, but it's been around at least since the mid-1990s, when I was going to college and waiting tables at another restaurant just a stone's-throw away. That spot has gone through a couple of iterations since, but Corelli's is still going strong. But Sugar Land (and the surrounding area) has grown a lot in that time, and I figure there are many newcomers who haven't experienced it yet.
