Zammitti's Pizza and Pasta | Kingwood, Atascocita, Humble TX | Kings Harbor | Waterfront Dining in Kingwood TX
My wife and I met for lunch the other day at Zammitti's located in the new development of Kings Harbor located in Kingwood TX on the northbank of the river feeding Lake Houston. We really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere, and it is a great addition to the Kingwood TX restaurant scene. The story of the Zammitti family is also very interesting. Here is the story that can also be found on the back of their menu.
Pasquale Zammitti, from Acicastello, Sicily, was a merchant seasman aboard a ship that exploded in the Suez Canal. He was fortuante to be placed with the Ambrosanaos, an Italian family living in Cairo, Egypt. Pasquale fell in love with their daughter, Adriana. They were married in Cairo in 1921.
Pasquale and Adriana had three daughters - Graziella "Nella", Teresa and Angela. Zammitti sisters grew up in Suez, but attended school in Italy. They were fluent in Italian, French, Greek, Arabic and English.
Harry Burns, from Goose Creek, Texas, was a young soldier in the US Army's Counter Intelligence Core. In 1943, he was stationed in the Middle East, where he met the Zammitti sisters. Smitten with their beauty and warmth, he eventually won the hand of Nella. With Pasquale's blessing, they were married in Cario in 1944.
After the war, Harry and Nella moved to Houston. Soon after, they were joined by Nella's sisters and parents. As with most Italina families, the Zammitti kitchen was the center of social activities, with good food being the main staple of their gatherings. The family soon became known for its hospitality and flair for entertainment.
The Zammitti grandchildren offer you the same old world charm that is the hear of their Italian heritage.
