    Ray's has outdone themselves tonight. We got the pasta carbonara with added chicken and the chicken parmasan with tomato cream sauce. The food is always a steal at these prices, Service is always pleasant and cheerful. Ray's is a wonderful value. Come here as early and often as possible!

    Simply put…absolute 5-stars!! Wife ordered a chicken parm calzone then we also got an Alfredo pizza and a beef/Canadian bacon flatbread pizza. Wow!! Insane flavors, sooo good!! Wife also got a tiramisu after and it was delicious as well!! The espresso flavor was spot on, not heavy at all which is perfect for her. This is definitely saved in our favs!! We will be back. Awesome employees and service as well!!!!

    Very delicious food, the wings were some of the best I've had. Super crispy and amazing taste with just the right amount of sauce. The pizza was very good but they do put on a large amount of toppings which isn't a bad thing as long as you are prepared to eat.

    I stopped by after visiting NASA center. I didn't expect much but was surprised that all dishes were so delicious! I recommend the seafood risotto.

    I’m visiting the Clear Lake area of Houston this weekend and decided to try Ray’s. The atmosphere is unassuming, basic tables and chairs in a small space. It’s fast casual, so don’t expect any table side romance. However, the food is made from scratch and freshly made when you order. I had a chicken cannelloni and my granddaughter had a spaghetti with marinara. (According to her her, that’s“pasghetti”😉) My cannelloni was delightful- the pesto cream sauce was delicious and the dish was full of gooey goodness- cheesy and rich. The marinara sauce (I did steal a few bites from my granddaughter’s plate) was a bit of a surprise. It was thick and rich, but onion and garlic were the main seasoning, no Italian herbs. It grew on me and my granddaughter ate her body weight in pasta. While I wouldn’t recommend this as a romantic first date atmosphere- the food will bring you back for more! Child’s meal was $8 and included garlic bread, mine was $15 and included bread and a salad- which, by the way, was an unexpected treat. Fresh mixed greens, cucumber, chopped tomatoes and black olives- tossed in a house dressing.

    Came here for lunch today and ordered the build your own pasta with linguine grilled chicken and the garlic olive oil drizzle. Had a side of garlic bread, also using olive oil and a side Garden salad. Everything was very fresh the salad was delicious with a nice variety of components. The pasta dish was flavorful. Would like to see more options for a variety of grilled vegetables in a pasta. Would also like to see some more comfortable seating. Will be back and definitely recommend. It's about time we got a good Italian place here in the Clear Lake area.

    I can't say enough good things about this place! Very unassuming from the outside because it's located at the corner spot, in a little strip mall. Easy to miss. Exemplary, Authentic Italian food, served with a smile. Attentive staff, Great atmosphere, and two flat screen T v's, in opposite corners of the restaurant. Tastefully decorated for the Christmas holidays. Highly recommend!

    Five star food with 5 star service to match. Even late on a Sunday night, everyone aimed to please and not make us feel rushed. Service is exceptional, and so is the food. Highly recommend!

    Ray's is outstanding! Kind of a low key interior, particularly with the seating, however this is one of the best Italian restaurants I've ever had! We ordered several different meals and every single one of them was top notch! We will certainly be coming back!

    The food is very good. The staff is pleasant and friendly. The atmosphere is average. Which is a good thing. It is not a dark, intimate Italian trattoria. Walk to the counter order, sit, and wait for excellent food to be delivered to your table.

    Absolutely the best Italian I've had in the area! Better than the others around! They deliver within 5 miles! We ended up eating before we could take pictures. We ordered Chicken Alfredo and Chicken Parm. I sub the Red sauce for the Alfredo! So amazing! The salads that came with the meals were top shelf with spinach and romaine. Honestly you can tell the chef loves what he does! You can taste the love in his dishes. Looking forward to trying everything on the menu! Ray's is a must try! You won't be sorry!
