    Garlic Chicken Pizza was so dry.
    Lou C.

    Umm... this restaurant shares the parking lot with other businesses. I came to Capone at night. I had trouble finding it in dark. Thanks to the security guards who pointed out the restaurant otherwise I was lost. Last night was the NFL championship match. Texas vs Steelers. The restaurant was full of cheers and boos. My friends sat at a table and asked to turndown the speaker from TV because we couldn't hear each other's voice. Unfortunately, they didn't know how. There were TV's above both sides of the fireplace. They were not functioning. I couldn't watch the game but can only hear loud TV. Ugh I ordered Garlic Chicken Pizza. I was crying literally. I think the fresh garlic got into my eyes. And the smoked chicken was so dry. Ugh. I ate mostly the crusts. The oven baked pizza had a tasty crunchy crust. They had half off of pizza Monday night. That was what saved the day.

    The food was amazing as always, had the Supreme with a gluten free crust and it held up, even with all the toppings the Supreme has! The service was excellent as usual, no surprises there, and the ambience was very relaxed and didn't compete with our meal. The Bootleg Old Fashioned never disappoints.

    Very cool and tucked away Bar! I love the style! Almost feels like youre in a cave hidden away. They serve pizza until a little past Midnight and it is delicious! I made my own pizza here with lamb ,goat cheese , and spinach! 10/10! They also have non alcoholic beer (Peroni) which was very refreshing. To top off the experience i went on a thursday and they had karaoke! Overall 10/10 I will definitely be back! Thank You Capone's ! -Santangelo B Gonzales

    The Capone's

    Capone's is a great casual spot! My husband and I meet our friends here from time to time, and we always enjoy it. They have nightly specials (check on their website to see what each evening has to offer) for different entrees and drinks. Their pizzas arrive quickly and they are excellent. My favorite is the Capone's pizza with arugula, goat cheese, prosciutto, and pear!

    I'm a regular at this establishment and typically visit at least once a week. I usually have the same server, who is consistently attentive, kind, and provides great service, which is why this experience stood out so negatively. On this visit, my usual server was not working and I was served by someone named Zachary. From the start, the service was noticeably poor. I was not greeted or seated and had to seat myself. He initially took my order from memory, then returned a few minutes later to ask for it again and write it down. Throughout the meal, he never checked on my table, not once, until it was time to bring the check. Because the level of service was far below what I normally receive here, I chose not to leave a tip. As I was leaving, Zachary ran after me outside the restaurant and loudly told me I was not allowed back. When I returned inside to ask why, he raised his voice and stated it was because I didn't tip, saying I was disrespectful and that the restaurant didn't need my business. I understand tipping culture, but it does not excuse unprofessional behavior. especially confronting and attempting to embarrass a customer publicly. If the service had matched the standard I'm used to here, this would not have been an issue. After reflecting on this experience and reading other reviews, I've noticed a concerning pattern. Several reviewers describing similar poor service experiences appear to be people of color. I was the only Black woman seated at the time, which makes this situation even more troubling. This experience was disappointing and uncomfortable, especially at a place I've supported regularly. I hope management takes this seriously and addresses both the service quality and how customers are treated.

    Zorba the Greek

    I had the Zorba the Greek pizza and it was really good. It had a little too much dressing on it. The next time I plan on ordering it with dressing on the side. The crust was crispy and light. This place is very big. They stay open pretty late. We were here eating at about 1 am. And it was still pretty crowded. I eyed some wings at another table and I'm pretty sure I will go back to try them. They looked pretty good. Service was good here. No issues. Everything came as we ordered and very fast.

    This is sad for a $17 pizza

    I've ordered from them many times it seems they're cutting back on everything But that's unacceptable for $$ 70.00

    Me and my friends arrived to Capone without reservations on a Saturday evening and there was no trouble getting seated. As always I am happy to see mocktails on the menu- I ordered the ginger mule non alcoholic and it was a lot more sour than expected. It was still good but I felt like it had a bit too much like juice. Mushroom pasta- the Pasta was decent but a little bland too. Vegetarian pizza- oh my goodness so good!! The vegetarian pizza had the perfect amount of spice, crunch, etc. you can tell they are known for their pizza and not pasta! Oh you have to try to find their restrooms too! It was in the back of the restaurant looked like a bookshelf- I had to ask the waitress to show me where it is. It was a super cool vibe, they had a live musician. Inside was brick and Dim lite. I would definetly be back! I want to bring more people here for their pizza and I want to try some of their other pizzas. Cute date night place!

    Pepperoni pizza
    Stacey G.

    Ok. First our server Jess was the best and what a warm and welcoming personality!!! Just loved her. The food was good but some things I wasn't a huge fan of was the overly sweet balsamic glaze on the bruschetta. It's overpowered everything. The chicken was super moist and with a great smoke flavor but the zucchini wasn't cooked enough. The pizza was just fine. Nothing out of this world. Cooked nicely. Overall we had good meal and would return

    The Capone
    Crissy S.

    I highly recommend the Capone pizza. It is delicious and hits all the marks; a little tart/creaminess from the goat cheese, sweetness from the pear, salty from the prosciutto and tangy from the arugula. Perfect!

    Great Wednesday steak night. The Filet was very tasteful with baked potato and mushrooms all for $25. There are many "steak nights" in Houston but this filet is a full 8 oz's and is terrific. Could be one of the best offerings in Houston.

    This restaurant has been around for awhile, but my first time to stop in. Colton(?) our waiter was very helpful, and the owner checks in with customers. The Bonnie and Clyde was delicious! HIGHLY recommend the crab stuffed mushrooms. I don't do tomato based pizzas, so it was nice to see they had other options - the Capone was very good! Took part of the Truffle Mac home - can't wait to eat the leftovers. They also have live music on Fridays and Saturday's. Parking is tight, but ample.

    House Salad
    Nicole D.

    I had high hopes for Capone's Pizza Oven and Bar based on the great reviews, but unfortunately, my experience fell far below expectations. My husband and I dined in and were surprised to find the restaurant mostly empty, which made the slow, lukewarm food even more confusing. The mozzarella sticks were crunchy on the outside but lacked the gooey cheese pull because they weren't served hot. The crab-stuffed mushrooms were just okay but also lukewarm and lacking flavor. We ordered a house salad that was supposed to include warm d'Anjou pear and goat cheese, but neither were present. I did enjoy the candied walnuts, though. We also tried the Steakhouse pizza. While it came out hot with a perfectly crispy crust, the steak on it had a strange, unpleasant taste that ruined it for us. The other toppings were fine. My husband especially liked the fresh jalapeños, but the steak was a dealbreaker. Service was also disappointing. Our waitress seemed checked out, forgetful and disengaged. Given that we were the only ones dining in (with just a few people at the bar), there was really no excuse for the food arriving cold or for the inattentive service. My husband is willing to give it another shot, maybe sitting at the bar next time and trying a different pizza. As for me, I'm not so sure.

    We recently came here with friends wanting to check it out for the first time (even though they are…read moresadly closing in just a couple of weeks). I've had my fair share of Paulie's but never had the chance to come to Camerata...until now. I had been missing out for so long! We journeyed from white to red wines throughout the night. We started out with the Babylonstoren, a chenin blanc from South Africa. We then moved into pink (rose) with the Ana Beirut - a blend of cab sauv, syrah, and tempranillo grapes with a bit of skin contact to give the wine the pink color. Lastly we ordered the Guelbenzu - a red blend of tempranillo, cab sauv, syrah, and graciano. This full-bodied red was the absolute fan favorite of the table. Food options are on the light side: meat & cheese boards, bread, and small bites. We started out with the warm bread - while it's normally served with butter, there's an option to switch that out with olive oil & herbs which is what we did. We then went for the meat & cheese platter. We couldn't decide on which meats or cheeses, so we did the option of ordering all 8! This came with 4 delicious meats and 4 tasty cheeses (from Houston Dairymaids), also with crispy fava beans, olives, pickles, and bread. This was a good amount for our group of 4 to share. Elena was our server and she was absolutely OUTSTANDING. She vibed with us throughout the night and made sure that we were well-taken care of. I loved her energy along with her vast knowledge of wines. We got plenty of good recommendations from her during our time there. I'm super sad that Houston will be losing this gem permanently at the end of the year (and even more sad that I only discovered it in the last month of its existence). While I know that owner Paulie won't be moving this venture to a new spot, I do hope a descendant of Camerata manifests itself somewhere in Houston in the coming years.

It's part of the Paulie's Restaurant brands, but completely separate from the restaurant from what I could tell. Parking is a bit difficult, but after a bit of circling we were able to find a spot and make our way in what looked like the back entrance. It was very low key, and despite the sign, the door seemed almost hidden in that back little corner. The staff seemed to have a bit of a hipster vibe-- not unexpected given the Montrose area-- but were very friendly. They offered suggestions, but let us go with what we wanted to try. There's a food menu along with the drinks, but we were heading to the restaurant next door, so we passed on grabbing food. We ended up going with a couple of glasses of red and a couple of the specialty chocolates. My wife loved her salted caramel chocolate. I enjoyed my peppermint chocolate. For the glasses of wine, I've got better at home for bottles the same price as those glasses. My wife really enjoyed the vibe, but even if this place wasn't about to close down, I'm not sure I'd be coming back here often. It's just too hard to park.

I experienced this side of the business during the early phase of the Covid pandemic back in 2020. At the time, during lockdown, going to a wine bar or wine shop just wasn't top of mind. However, I had researched a Cabernet Franc (red wine) called Nicolas Reau Enlèvement Demandé Anjou [Vintage year: 2017]. Reau is kind of a rebel working in the Loire Valley of France who is interested in producing organic, biodynamic wines that are essentially closer to nature and processed differently--more artisanal, so to speak. I read about this wine and wanted to find a bottle locally, which wasn't an easy task as I recall. This is where Vinology comes in. I'm not much of a wine drinker, but had to have a bottle of this excellent wine. Like many people, I preferred to stay indoors during the early part of the pandemic and was kind of nervous about going out. When I called Vinology, I expressed my dilemma, and the guy on the other end of the phone came up with a great solution. He offered to deliver the bottle of wine I purchased to my address.

So I quickly messaged the instructor, knowing his classes were still going on, and not long after he messaged me back a picture and said are these your shoes and I'm so happy he did that because I don't trust this place to have cared, but to also have even looked after the class was over. He kindly left it with the staff there and let me know so I called and they were very rude and snappy to say "Yes OK?! we have them". I was unable to go that following week to pick them up so I went a little over a week later and I just wanted to call to confirm they were still there and the person again was very rude and simply said "YES WE ALREADY TOLD YOU A WEEK AGO THEY WERE HERE AND YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE COME TO PICK THEM UP SO IF YOU DIDN'T THEN THEY MUST STILL BE HERE!" and hung up. Since I was making the commute out there in traffic on a Friday with my daughter I decided to call back and ask that they confirm that they're still back there and the same gentleman answered, and very rudely said " LISTEN WE ARE NOT A SHOE STORE. SO NO WE ARE VERY BUSY!" and to no surprise been a surprise HUNG UP right after that. When I got there, there were tables open and the bartenders greeted me and clearly did not know. I was the same person that they had been very rudely talking to so I asked about the shoes he went and got them and I asked if he was the gentleman I had taught you on the phone and he couldn't even look me in the eye but still said "no". However, I recognized his voice and clearly knew it was him. This place is not only is very expensive for drinks and food, but the staff being the way they are no customer should ever be treated like this. I was not rude, was not angry, and yet was treated with such little respect. There are a bunch of other, really nice places with the same vibe and much nicer stuff that you can give your money to on a night out. **Update: completely disagree with your response, and the fact that you can't take ownership for the way that your staff talks to customers is exactly why I feel my review is very valid. I did not call 8 times. These were not house slippers. Also, some additional notes you made are not true.**

This was a great recommendation, and I will say that we didn't conclude the visit on only one of these bottles... Based on Grayson's food recommendations, we ended up ordering the Mortadella panini and a combination charcuterie board. The Mortadella panini was unique but good - tomato, mortadella, provolone, and mustard all served on a pretzel bun. Probably not my dish of choice alongside wine, however I did really like the charcuterie board. We asked them to surprise us on the cheese and meat, and they really came through. The prosciutto was tasty and the cheese (can't remember which one) had a peppery flavor to it, which paired well with our red wine. The overall clientele vibe seemed like a range of date nights, girls nights, first dates, and solo drinkers. I love the diversity! We ended up making friends with the table next to us and eventually merged tables to make this a fun group date night. Definitely a highlight of the visit. We will definitely be back sooner than later. This is a cute neighborhood bar that I look forward to returning myself and brining out-of-town guests to come experience. They also have a dog-friendly patio - something to keep in mind whenever the day calls for drinking some wine in nice outdoor weather!

    It's the sort of place filled to the brim with degenerates pulling a Bukowski on their lunch break…read more I love this place. It took over what was literally the WORST Jamba Juice kiosk ever that always made me late to class when I was still in school. This was a much needed improvement, because you can't get turnt up on a smoothie no matter how hard your blessed little heart tries. Even the spelling of the Whole Foods Megacorp's 95th in-store bar will get you a little turnt up, either from sheer whimsy or out of college-educated just plain knowing better how certain things are spelled and how certain things are not spelled unless they are as full of shit as a Christmas turkey. The difference is whether you are on your first or seventh pint moreso than whether you skipped second breakfast and elevenses before showing up here in all of your splendor. Mondays are pizza/pint night for $5 between 6-8pm. Local Brew Fridays are $3 pints between 3-6pm. Write that one down. Also according to the internets, the last Thursday of the month is Zoo Beats Day so between 6-8pm some spare change marches into the coffers of the Houston Zoo's conservation efforts. If you would not drink for the critters then you are a very bad man. Get my hat Felicia, we're drinking for three.

    I already drop into this Whole Foods for lunch, juice, meetings, etc. multiple times a week - say,…read moretwo to three - so the fact that wine/beer bar Kirbside is now open inside, I visit even more often. They have happy hour, which sadly ends too early to really consider it "happy." (HH is Mon-Thu 2-5pm). They have a food menu of cheese plates and pizzas, or you can build your own pizza for $8. I created a pretty damn good pizza with chicken, broccolini and artichokes on wheat crust - da bomb. The server even mentioned she was gonna make one of her own. Weekly Specials: ::Mon 6-8pm: Slice of 'za and pint of beer for $5 :: Wed: $3 select pints, $4 select wines by the glass; HH food specials 6-8pm :: Fri: $3 local pints 3-6 pm :: Sun: $3 mimosas noon-2pm The Kirbside Bar opens at 11 am.

    One of my favorite restaurants I have taken out of town…read morefriends here as well and they love it My favorite things are appetizers and the pies And well duh the dilly bread

    Walked in around 10:30 p.m. on a Saturday. The host offered several seating options, a regular two…read moretop table, the bar or a high top. I opted for the high top right by the kitchen, and honestly, great choice -- it smelled amazing. Most people prefer not to sit by the kitchen with all the foot traffic but I didn't mind it at all. Nobie's is a house that's been transformed into a restaurant. One of the bartenders told me it's a 104-year-old house, and the whole place has very "house party" vibes in the best way. The music is LOUD. And it gets progressively louder as the night goes on, so if that's not your vibe, keep that in mind. But I was very into it. Lil Flip was playing when I walked in and it took me back to high school house parties. On shuffle were more throwbacks and classics: Ludacris and "Notorious Thugs" by Biggie. The chairs, however, were not my favorite. They're low-backed and kind of cage-like, with only a thin cushion, so they aren't exactly the most comfortable for a long meal. Started with a cocktail: the Remolacha del Corazón -- beet tequila, mezcal, watermelon (house-made syrup), lime and a tajín rim. You can hardly taste the mezcal, which I'm assuming is the point. I like mezcal so it would have been nice to taste it but the beet tequila is definitely the star, with the watermelon and lime adding a nice balance. Appetizer: Don't Worry, Brie Happy ($18). Brie, local honey, smoked grapes, toast. There was basically no local honey on my plate, but those smoked grapes?! They're topped with flaky salt while they're still hot and OMG!! The combination of warm, smoky, sweet and salty was fantastic. My only complaint was the amount of toast. There was a little too much toast for the amount of brie and grapes, so the ratios felt slightly off. Main course: Jamón With Your Bad Self ($45). Ibérico secreto pork steak, tonnato, shaved Brussels sprouts, salsa verde and almonds. I'm particular about pork, so I was taking a bit of a chance here, but this dish sounded too interesting to pass up. The pork steak was cooked perfectly and had some wonderfully crispy pieces around the edges. The tonnato underneath the pork was really good. It almost reminded me of a Caesar dressing and added this rich, savory element to the dish. The shaved Brussels sprouts were great, too, especially with the almonds and Parmesan. Everything worked really well together. Dessert: Olive Oil Cake. A house staple, and for good reason. A lovely way to end the meal. Overall, Nobie's has a really fun, unpretentious energy. Between the old-house setting, loud music and memorable dishes, it feels like somewhere you go to hang out as much as you go to eat. Just know what you're getting into with the volume and the seating -- this is not exactly a quiet, polished fine-dining experience, and that's kind of the charm.
