    Limited seating
    Mike M.

    I had lunch here a couple of weeks ago for the first time., Parking in this nice strip center can be tight during meal time. Inside there is an order counter and a few tables and chairs for dine ins but this is primarily a to go location. They were running a special that day and I took advantage of it. I ordered a Primo ham and cheese dressed. With chips a soft drink and tax it was $20. Not sure what the regular price would have been. On a busy day it took about 10 minutes to arrive. I must say it was a quality sandwich that tasted very good. I enjoyed every bite and made a mental note that next I will probably order the smaller (non Primo size). Like I said I really liked the sandwich and it was plenty large for me. I think had I paid regular price for the meal it would have been around $24 which is quite expensive. You decide if this place is in your budget. The hoagies are a cut above.

    Roasted pork and broccoli rab
    Rodrick B.

    I had such high hopes for this sandwich shop. I absolutely love roasted pork and broccoli rash sandos from Philly and thought I'd get that here. The meat is cold and sliced here, not hot and juicy as served in Philly. You could tell the ingredients were very fresh it's just for the price it's not at all what I wanted. The bread is crazy dry due to the lack of pork juices. Don't get me wrong, it's a fine sandwich, but to drive from Spring to be completely let down was a drag. Wish it had been different

    First time ! Sandwiches/Hoagies are literally one of my love languages so, I recently visited Primo Hoagies located on Washington Ave. in Houston. About a year ago I found out that I had some Italian heritage/blood stemming from my mother's side of the family so i must be pre-hardwired to eat a deli sandwich. It was a Saturday afternoon with nobody in sight, which was great cause I was hungry! The decor on the inside was pretty cool and colorful. Nice seating areas and one T.V. With it being my first time the lady who took my order gave me some great recommendations. So I decided to try the "Italian" primo size sandwich, adding both sweet and hot peppers to give it an extra kick. Sandwich was made in a decent amount of time. Visually, I appreciated how all the food elements of hoagie were presented when I unraveled it. It seemed like it was a sense of pride putting it together. Overall, I was impressed with the quality and flavor of the hoagie. The bread was fresh though a tad bit tough & chewy. The combination of meats was spot on--each bite was packed with a decent balance of savory and spicy flavors, thanks to the peppers I added. The portion size was generous. A little bit on the pricer side. I would suggest getting the primo size if you're on the hungrier side. The only reason I'm giving it 3 stars which really would have been like 3.5 is due to the service & meat while friendly and helpful, wasn't as enthusiastic as I'd like and the meat lacked a little flavor for me, as well as the bread being a tad bit tough and chewy. However, nonetheless still good! I may be back to try more from their menu.

    Visited Primo for the first time. Clean atmosphere and friendly service! Ordered Diablo Italian, chips, rice pudding and a white chocolate macadamia nut cookie. Sandwich not diablo at all, actually more sweet than anything. Bread had the fresh crunch you want and it was filled like it should be. Needed the spice it claims in the diablo spice and soppressata Cookie is a chunky kind, really hard, crumbled to dry pieces when attempting to take a bite. Threw it away. Rice pudding was a no go. They added way too much of the pure vanilla extract and it was never cooked out. So didn't enjoy also threw it away. Not sure I'd give it another try. Love a good sandwich but there's tough competition in Houston.

    When my italian coworker suggested this for lunch, I knew it had to be good. But I was not prepared for HOW good. Let me start off by saying that this place is busy during lunch! There was a couple people waiting on their orders when we got there and as we waited to have our order taken, a nice little line formed behind us as well. Most of their business seems to be to go. Don't be alarmed though, the three ladies behind the counter work FAST & EFFICIENTLY! I was very impressed by them and their speed when taking orders and preparing orders while still giving great customer service. I kept it simple and ordered their Italian, which they say is their #1 hoagie. This hoagie has prosciutto, hot capicola, salami, and provolone cheese. I made sure mine all the other extra toppings as well such as lettuce, tomato, pickles, and hot peppers on the side. The hoagie was amazing! I got the peppers on the side just in case they were too spicy but they were just the right amount of spicy. Not too much oil or vinegar on the sandwich but still enough that it didnt feel dry. And the bread....OMG THE BREAD! So so good! Lastly, I was introduced to Herr chips here. I got the honey jalapeno and they have to be some of the best chips I have ever had! I want to go back and grab a big bag of them which they sell btw! I will definitely be back!

    This sandwich was $13 and I got one chicken nugget cut in half and two leaves of lettuce.

    Classic hoagie shop feel, very small, meant more for take out than sitting in. Only 3 small tables for 3-4 but would be cramped with more than 2. I got a a classic Italian, unsweet tea, and some jalapeño chips. Felt a little pricey but the Primo size was much bigger than expected. The associate at the counter had a hard time understanding me and me them which made ordering difficult. But the team was very kind and helpful in making suggestions and helping everyone I saw come in. The seeded bread on the Sandwich was close but not 100% what I expected from a hoagie. The crust just a little too tough. Overall delicious Italian. I'll probably go for a small next time.

    I saw a IG poster that I follow talk about how good these hoagies are. I went to this location during lunch and ordered the Italian and a container of macaroni salad. Came back to work and bit in. Okay. Second bite...ugh. Something tastes offs so I thought it was the bread and took the meats out to eat. The prosciutto tasted off like spoiled. I threw it away and ate the capicola and salami. I was going to join their rewards program but I will just wait to see how my next visit goes.

    If you are from the north east and have been looking for a deli, THIS IS THE PLACE. My husband bought 3 sandwiches the first week this place opened. From the sesame seed bread to the stuffed peppers they sell, this place is legit. By far the best italian combo in the greater houston area. The cheesesteaks are very good too, not greasy at all and they have a lot of cheese options. All of their sandwiches are very customizable and you can get fixins on the side too. I love adding the sweet peppers to the cheesesteak. There are a few small tables inside but it seems like everything is mostly to go. They sell Herr's chips too! One of my favs from back home.

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!

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.

A friend had the meatballs, which was a huge portion and others had the arrugula salad with avocado, which they said they loved. The pistachio gelato was delicious as dessert. My other friends got the teramasu, which I tasted. They didn't really like it, and I didn't like it either. Plenty of parking in the garage, which is free and street parking. Definitely a one win for this restaurant.

As soon as I see Fabio's little building I call my wife to ask if she wants me to pick up something from there. It's our number one place to buy excellent pasta in a variety of sizes. We also will get their different Raviolis as well. We mix and match the different sauces each time and are always happy with the decision. We have often changed our dinner plans to go with the pasta. A salad, and a nice bottle of wine from my cellar... It's the American plan. They also have a spot at the outdoor market on Buffalo Speedway every Saturday, and the first and third Sunday in Rice Village...the second and fourth Sunday in the Heights. It's good stuff so I give it ***** stars. Be there or be square

    I really wanted to like this place. I first tried their pasta when a friend cooked it for me, and…read moreit was great, so I went there myself. I bought lobster ravioli, four-cheese ravioli, and pasta sauce. Lobster ravioli is $2.40 each so I paid $24 for the box. When I opened it to cook, I only found 9 ravioli inside. I wouldn't have written this review if it had been just one missing. Then, when I put the cheese ravioli in boiling water, I found a bug floating in it. Will I go back? I'm not sure. It's such a shame because their ravioli and sauce taste so good.

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 place itself is gorgeous. The patio and view of downtown is amazing. The vibes alone are a…read more10/10. Now on to the food. I would say stick to the pizza. I have been twice and regret not ordering the pizza on my second visit. We had the Wellington bites, mozzerella sticks, steak frites, truffle fries (no truffle), caesar salad and pizza. We gave everything 2-3 stars and the pizza 4 stars. Definitely recommend taking advantage of pizza and a bottle of wine on Thursday nights for $40. The mix cocktails are on the sweeter side so either stick to wine or straight up tequila.

    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.
