    Wings and Caesar salad
    Kristian M.

    The pizza is great as expected. But the dish that keeps us coming back is the wings. They are a must try. Great bar buzz. 10/10.

    Tried the Meat Head pizza and a sandwich called "Da Bomb." I wanted to order some wings, but at $15 for 6 wings, I passed this time. The menu has a decent selection of foods. The location is great, and the ambiance is cool and retro with background music. Inside, there is no TV at the bar, but they do have a few games you can play. The place itself has a cool retro vibe that anyone will like. The pizza was great fresh and hot. It's a thin crust, kind of greasy, but no big deal. It was great until about the middle part, where it started tasting a little too salty, so I stopped there but it's still good. The sandwich, though, I highly recommend. It's full of flavor and very tasty. I didn't get anything to drink, but people around me all had some nice looking drinks. Overall, the vibe inside is great. The pizza was okay, but the sandwich was the best. Great place to visit if you're a pizza lover definitely get the sandwich. the pizza $25 sandwich $18 Total about $47

    So we visited this place, Nonna's because my husband wanted some pizza. And he loves thin crust pizza. You cannot get any thinner than their pizza. And it is delicious. But the first time we went in looking for pizza and we saw the menu we had to order the Osso Buco. You just hit it with a fork and it falls apart. It was so tasty and so tender. They had it sitting on polenta it was incredible. I got the mushroom risotto. That was really good. I love risotto and it had such good flavor and texture. Our little waitress Andrea, was so sweet. If you come in, ask for her, she was so accommodating and so helpful. And we went back a second time and we got the pizza. We got to do it half-and-half and it fed four of us. We also got the Badda Bing Wings. They were so good. Very crispy. We got the garlic and vinaigrette dip with the bread. That was really good, but it had big chunks of garlic in it. I loved the mozzarella sticks. They were huge and you get five of them. My picture only shows three because they couldn't wait for me to get a picture of it. They had to take them. And let me tell you that cheese was so light. Usually when I get mozzarella sticks it's thick and it's gummy and no these were delicious and big. For dessert the first time I tried the orange dream cheesecake. Which was like an orange dream sickle with a sugared orange peel on top. Yum. My husband got the big old brick of chocolate cake. It took him two days to eat it it was so good. Then on the second day, we got the potato chip chocolate chip cookie. You talk about sweet and salty and savory. And it was loaded with chocolate chips. So good. The parking is a little small, but if you can get in here, you need to go visit them. It's such a cute quirky looking little place. They have good wines and beers on tap. I got the last bottle of a very good Cabernet from Mexico. But definitely definitely worth the trouble to go see this place.

    My love for Nonno's has no words, but here goes. Just know that I love tavern style, cracker thin crust. If I had a date night here, I'd make sure to lady and the tramp the mozzarella sticks every single time. It's just that fucking good. Add a little drizzle of ranch for that oomph or a dibble dabble of marinara and have a dance. Get it every time. The fungus among us has flavors that marry so well, that it's orgasmic. Definitely not for the weak. You'd need a palate cleanser after each slice. But it's just that good. Trust. Easily the top flavor that I've ever had in my life. Not into the fungus among us, no worries. You can't go wrong with the meat head or the wise guy. mwuah good ole crispy edges, perfectly portioned greasy pepperoni cup, on a cracker thin crust. The seasonal cheesecake is so good, that I think about it all the fucking time. All. The. Time. The vibes of Nonno's brings you back to the 90s of the Pizza Hut commercials of seated family dinners at the restaurant, but with breadsticks and pizza. Oh, and there's no phone. BUT, you can order online. It's kid friendly, so you gotta tolerate it, or you won't be able to understand the love for Nonno's. They have 4 old school games. pinball, Pac-Man, and a couple I can't think of the top of my head. But you get the gist. The lighting is so nostalgic, that it just hits right. I'd be devastated if Nonno's ever close. I'd lose my fuckin' mind.

    Caesar Salad
    John D.

    Really impressed with everything about this pizzeria. Love the decor, from the Pizza Hut table lights to the arcade games. Everything was very clean. Service wise, one word... amazing. Very nice people. The food, I think I saved the best for last. The salad was very good. One of the better Caesar salads I've had. The pizza, well I rarely eat more than two slices and i demolished my half. The place was so good. Wish I was a local and could bring my kids.

    Delicious pizza! We came as a huge group quite late at night with no reservations, so it was so kind of the restaurant to accommodate us. All the pizzas hit! So tasty, perfect for our quick Houston visit

    Nonno's was definitely a "no no" for me. The experience started off rough because we waited over 20 minutes before anyone even came to our table. I ordered the mozzarella sticks with ranch, but the ranch never came out. The portion was also pretty small for the price. The service overall was very slow, and while the interior ambiance looked nice, it was so loud inside that it was hard to even have a conversation. I ordered the pepperoni pizza and it took over 30 minutes to come out, and honestly the quality was pretty mediocre compared to other pizza spots I've had. Parking is also difficult since it's very crowded and finding a spot can be a challenge.

    Came in on a wed night and was seated immediately. Dress code: casual, came in gym attire Food 5/5: Ordered the fungus amoung us pizza, chopped salad, wings and bean dip. Everything tasted great, wings were slightly spicy and very savory, probably my favorite tonight. Service 5/5: very friendly and helpful, super knowledgeable about the menu and very professional. Accommodating when we noticed some condensation dripping at our first seat. Ambiance 4/5: rustic Italian wooden feel, quite liked the overall vibes but docked a point for the condensation that dripped down on us at the table we were first seated at, but were quickly shifted to another table when we pointed it out Value 4/5: very good portion sizes for a good price. Overall 4.5/5: very much enjoyed it the 2 times I've been here. Will be back to try other pizza toppings. Great service and food and pretty good ambiance and value Parking: is a nightmare. Small parking lot that is always full as it is shared by a couple other restaurants that are pretty popular

    All I kept thinking was Why are the chicken wings so good here?? I came here for pizza and left in love with the dang CHIMKIN. The white bean dip was good, mild flavor on the boquerones. Even gave extra chippies. Broccoli pizza was unique and we added the pepperoni for some extra saltiness and protein (this was def the move). Next time might just do a build your own pizza to make a pepperoni garlic situation. Overall I love the crisp tavern style is the Za. Wow the Oreo cheesecake. Nice flame toasted strawberry compote on top. But really Wow the chimkinnnnn!!! See y'all Monday for the chicken happy hour party time

    Visited Nonno's Pizzeria while in Houston. The atmosphere was lively but overly loud, making conversation difficult, and the music only added to the noise. The service was inconsistent -- cocktails were slow to arrive, and we were told well after ordering that a Hugo Spritz couldn't be made, which should've been flagged much earlier. We tried a few of their tavern-style pizzas, which were thin and basic, more like a tortilla-style pizza at home and nothing memorable. One pizza with soppressata and mushrooms was especially disappointing, with the soppressata overly oily and a surprise $9 charge for mushrooms that were barely noticeable, bringing a $16 pizza to $29. Overall, a bit overrated and not worth a return visit. Saluti

    Potatoes were awesome!
    Joel C.

    We were in the area because we had visited the MFAH. I used the good ol' Yelp app and saw this place pop up. I had previously heard of it and knew that I'd eventually have to try it. The decor and atmosphere is awesome. It's very relaxed and has a cool retro feel with the Pizza Hut lamps and the arcade games. The food was so good. I have to come back. I need more of the tavern style pizza. So crispy. So tasty. So perfect. I got the Peter Lambo and it was exactly what I needed. We also got the potatoes appetizer, and we loved it. The garlic sauce was awesome. The bartenders were so awesome and so nice. They know what they're doing with cocktails, because they were really good. I also got to try Malort which everyone said would be really bad, but I'm a rare lover of Malort I guess. Very popular in Chicago. You definitely gotta try it if you come here. All in all, this is awesome. Come here. Now.

    Nonno's has been on our long list of pizza places to try in Houston. Nonno's is known for their thin crust pizza and nostalgic and retro interior. Service: service here was great! We came for lunch on a Saturday and the restaurant was not packed. We were seated immediately. Our server was great. They keep a pitcher of water at the table which is nice. Our food came hot and fresh and our waitress was very attentive. Parking: Nonno's has a small parking lot in front of the restaurant. The parking lot looks like it's shared with The Toasted Coconut which is right next door. Ambiance: the restaurant has a retro feel with arcade games and 80/90s looking decor. They have a nice bar area with countertop service. The restaurant is clean and well kept. Food: we ordered the Mozz Sticks as an appetizer and those were amazing. They are a little pricey at 5 mozzarella sticks for $15 but I think they are worth it. You can get a side of regular marinara or spicy marinara with the mozzarella sticks so we got both to try them out. Both sauces were very good! The mozzarella sticks were coated in a panko type crust and you could tell they were fried fresh and had a nice crispy exterior with a cheesy interior. For our mains we ordered the Peter Lambo and the Meat Head pizzas. The Peter Lambo had a white sauce with chicken and a pesto sauce on top. It had good flavor! Would recommend this for those who enjoy white sauce instead of marinara sauce. The meat head pizza had capicola, pepperoni, and sausage and a marinara sauce. This pizza was heavy and a little greasy. If you like meat, this is the pizza for you. This pizza was also very crispy. It got difficult to eat a lot of this pizza because it was crunchy and heavy at the same time. Overall Nonno's has very good pizza. I don't think it's the best pizza in Houston. This is easily the best thin crust pizza in Houston. I wanted to give it 5 stars nit when compared to other pizza in Houston, it's not there for me. Definitely come here if you love thin crust pizza! Also the mozzarella sticks were amazing! The interior is also really nice for those who love throwback decor. There are old Pizza Hut lamps over some of the booths. Nonno's brings the nostalgia and flavor. Come give them a try!

    Parking can be frustrating. The mozzarella sticks are a big winner here. I was a bit mixed with the pizza, if the sauces match you can split the pie. I think they mostly have thin cust which is what I like. They have a nice bar, and a good drink menu. Retro interior with a couple of arcade games. It was a interesting place, I would go back.

    I celebrated my wedding anniversary and birthday at Mimo, and it was my first time visiting the…read morerestaurant. I've had Mimo on my radar for a couple of years, but somehow I never found the right occasion to finally give it a try. Well, celebrating both my birthday and wedding anniversary seemed like a pretty good reason! I must say, Mimo had to fight hard to earn those five stars. The experience was memorable, not necessarily because it was perfect, but because it wasn't. The imperfections, oddly enough, are what made it memorable. Let's start with the menu. There aren't many dishes, which is generally speaking a good sign these days. There's really no excuse not to use fresh ingredients when you're working with a smaller menu. At the same time, I wouldn't say the offerings were particularly adventurous. That said, the quality was definitely there. We started with the Fritter as an appetizer, and it was super delicious. The combination of fried zucchini, corn, and that touch of honey somehow really worked! Then we ordered a pasta dish each, under the common assumption that a pasta dish in most Italian restaurants (including the ones in Italy) is supposed to be filling. Well... no! These were pretty small. I ordered the spaghetti al limone, while my wife went for the gnocchi. Both were good, although the spaghetti were cooked somewhere on the borderline between al dente and chewy. The corn in the gnocchi also felt a little alien, like it didn't really belong there. Still, we couldn't deny that the flavors were good and the ingredients were fresh. Oddly enough, we were still hungry, so we ordered a second dish each: the Pork Milanese for me and the Pesce del Giorno for my wife. And this is where Mimo saved the day! The Pork Milanese, with mortadella and pecorino cheese on top, was delicious. And the polenta that came with my wife's dish was one of the best I've ever had. Interestingly, these dishes were disproportionately larger, more than making up for the minuscule portions of the pasta dishes. So, I guess it all worked out in the end! Another date saver was the service. It was outstanding. Attentive, friendly, and exactly what you would expect from a restaurant trying to create a special experience. Then came dessert: the Zeppole. It was good, but nothing particularly special. To me, it tasted like churros made with a dough that incorporated ricotta. Not bad at all, just not something I'll be dreaming about later. And that was our experience at Mimo! I think the review probably benefited from the fact that I was there celebrating a special occasion. It was a somewhat strange experience, with some ups and downs, but we genuinely enjoyed it. Would I be back? Possibly... Four stars stretched to five? Yeah... FIVE Stars!

The staff is super friendly, and we were welcomed as we were (we had hoped to eat at a sister establishment but they sold out of what we wanted). Mimo's offers a great selection of Italian inspired apps, three well appointed pizzas, a few varied and surprising options for pasta dishes, and some mains. Items we tried: Pane - delicious Roasted Carrot Pizza - AMAZING, A little spicy, but definitely something we would order again. Pastas we ordered initially came out cold - our incredible waiter immediately corrected the issue. But from a flavor profile - Pansotti - sooooo delicious. You'd never guess that it was a vegetarian option - the mushrooms were so meaty. The delicate pouches with the spinach and ricotta were heavenly. Pappardelle - The lamb braised sauce had a depth of flavor that could rival any restaurant in Italy. My only tiny hope was that the pasta would have been served aldente, it was a little overcooked. But to each his own. Overall - really great. Would recommend. This would be great for a weeknight dinner or an off the beaten path date night.

My only complaint (and it's not really a negative) is I was in the mood for lasagna & after eating this dish, although it was very good, I still had a hankering for lasagna. Other: - Service in general was good. It was a slow day during my Sunday afternoon visit. - Bathrooms were well kept & had cool big mirrors in the hallway upon exiting the bathroom. - Parking in the attached garage is free.

For my dips I had the salami xo, fancy ranch and chili oil. This place opens at 5 and was totally full when I arrived at 5:20 on a Wed. They have happy hour for the first hour and the price for pizza and drinks is significantly reduced. So the crowd is understandable. I tried one of the happy hour drinks. Smoke Signal $6 on HH Mezcal, Citrus, Sweetener For the dips. The fancy ranch kinda tasted like ranch with dill and something else. It was giving thousand island vibes. But not. It was good. The chili oil was just that The wait was 45 minutes and it was well worth it. Customer service was A1. Food was delicious. They gave a high rating and are busy for a reason.

    Great service and amazing food. We made a dinner reservation and were instantly seated.

Definitely busier, but was very well decorated. We ordered my friend's favorites and was pleased with the food. I especially enjoyed the pinto bean appetizer and the lasagna that was baked, resembling a pizza but with a lasagna bottom. Loved the mood of the restaurant and appreciated the olive oil ice cream they got us for my friend's birthday.

    It was my first time at Aperitivo and I must say I'm still impressed. I've had some time to sit…read morewith my thoughts/experience so here's the review you've all been waiting for. We arrived on a Friday evening during Happy Hour (HH) around 5:30pm. Maurizio stopped by to introduce himself and let us know that he would ensure we were taken care of. As stated above, it was happy hour during our time there but we ordered from allllll the menus haha! Check out the eats below: -Fried Shrimp -Chicken Parm Sliders -Tuna Tartare -Brussels Sprouts -Aperitivo Sliders -Bottle of Wine + Pizza (x2) ~Pepperoni Pizza ~Chicken Alfredo Pizza Bottles of the Sparkling and Rose - these are the bottles we selected based on their Social Hour menu bottle of wine & pizza deal for 35 dollars! Great deal! The experience was great, there were many waiters and waitresses stopping by the table to check in on us. The food was fresh, flavorful, and piping hot! The views are lovely and the ambiance is a combination of chill, chic, and relaxing. Very vibey and spacious place. The restrooms are really nice as well and they were clean and stocked. Aperitivo is definitely on my list of places to return to, especially for happy hour. It's worth it to check this place out!

    The one star is for the view / look of the place and for that alone. I think this place must take…read moretoo much time on presentation/ aesthetic over quality of what they put out. We ordered so many things and it's hard to believe how everything was almost worse than the item before it. Cocktail? Awful and not even drinkable. The burger? Tasted like meatloaf from a diner in the middle of nowhere. The cappuccino? Cold and not strong The tart? Decent but not the best. Both my friend and I agreed we'd never go back and haven't had such a poor quality meal in awhile. As for service, I'll note that the server was so nice and was new. Had she not have mentioned she was new, that would be my next paragraph of notes. Don't be fooled by the online aesthetic- save your time and money and go literally anywhere else.

    We had planned to dine at another Italian place but they aren't open for lunch on Saturday so…read moreGoogle directed us here. Didn't even know this place was there. We arrived at the restaurant at noon and it was completely empty - but in all fairness they only opened at 11. We were a party of 6 and all ordered something different. I chose the 25th Street Pasta which was very unique & very delicious. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their selected items. The portions were on the larger side in my opinion but not extreme. The bread & oil they serve was also amazing. Sadly we were all too stuffed to try desert but certainly will next time. This is definitely a "don't judge the place by the location" because it was a delicious dining experience. Our server was attentive & accommodating, the prices were very reasonable for the portion size, incredible quality and freshness. If you are looking for a new fav spot don't miss this one.

    The food was very good, and the service was decent overall. We enjoyed our meal, which is why it's…read moredisappointing that our experience ended the way it did. We ordered the tiramisu for dessert, and nowhere on the menu did it mention that it was served with a slice of kiwi hidden underneath the whipped cream. I'm allergic to kiwi, and because it was completely covered, I didn't realize it was there until after I had already taken a bite. I brought this to our server's attention, not because I was looking for a discount or anything free, but simply because I wanted the staff to be aware so this wouldn't happen to another customer with a food allergy. Instead, the first response I received was asking if I had read the menu, which I had. Unfortunately, the menu never mentioned kiwi being part of the dessert. What really bothered me was overhearing the conversation afterward. Our server spoke with another staff member a few booths away, and I heard comments along the lines of, "Well, he should've mentioned his allergy," and "He should've asked." It felt like the responsibility was being placed entirely on me rather than acknowledging that an undisclosed ingredient had been served. I understand that customers with allergies should communicate them whenever possible, but I also think restaurants have a responsibility to disclose ingredients that aren't typically expected, especially when they're hidden in the presentation. I've had tiramisu many times and have never encountered one served with kiwi tucked beneath whipped cream. Again, the food itself was good, and this review isn't about trying to get compensation. I genuinely wanted to help prevent a similar situation for someone else. Unfortunately, the way my concern was handled left me feeling dismissed and caused me to lose confidence in the restaurant's approach to food allergies.
