The new restaurant, at 1805 W. 18th St. in the Lazybrook/Timbergrove neighborhood marks the return of longtime Houston restaurateur Greg Gordon who operated La Vista in Briargrove for nearly 20 years before closing it in 2017.
Here's what you can expect from La Vista 101. The food: Italian dishes with Mediterranean influences as well as a few nods to the old La Vista dishes. The menu begins with small plates such as grilled Spanish octopus served with house flatbread; Caesar deviled eggs topped with house guanciale, pickled green beans and fried oysters; beef carpaccio with béarnaise sauce; warm tomato and mozzarella salad and goat cheese burrata with house focaccia.
