    Ambiance and service were amazing!! However, I do not think I would be back. The pizza was not my favorite. Supreme pizza just tasted like tomato, not meat. Also, the dough was floppy, it didnt hold up to a good pizza structure. The pasta was just okay. There was no wow factor for the level of restaurant they are. I was disappointed. I am only giving three stars because the service & ambiance was great.

    Rosie Cannonball is located right on the busy Westheimer strip, so be prepared to valet or spend a little time finding street parking. The restaurant sits tucked away on the corner of the building and has a cute, chic atmosphere that makes it perfect for a date night or a family dinner. The space is fairly limited, so I would definitely recommend making reservations in advance. Despite the cozy size, it was very kid-friendly and welcoming. We ordered the pizzas and the bolognese pasta, and both were delicious. The wait time for our food was surprisingly quick, especially considering how busy the restaurant can get. Overall, the food tasted great, the atmosphere was charming, and the experience was enjoyable from start to finish.

    I really enjoyed the vibes and food! Deazia was superb! She exceeded all expectations and hospitality was deff served. She was knowledgeable, friendly and bubbly! Excellent recommendations as well. We started with a complimentary bubbly - CLETO CHIARLI (very light and sweet, quite enjoyed it). Also, got a classic margarita with Reposado and Tajin on the rim (stronggg but good). For apps, we got the CARROT BRAVAS & BURRATA (had a nice crunch) and ROASTED CORN (flavorful). My favorite Main was deff the Pepperoni Pizza (the crust was crispy and bread itself was chewy as well, the tiny pepperoni were tasty as well. I'd just come back for the pizza itself). My other favorite was the CAVATELLI ALLA BOLOGNESE (by far my favorite pasta shape of the night and the texture was perf. Very fresh and made in house. The sauce was great as well and paired well). A special note is that they have HH half off pizza and cocktails on Tues-Sun 9pm-10pm dine in only. For dessert, you must try their CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE A LA MODE (brown butter cookie that's homemade and warm with some icecream was keyyyy). Their honey cake was also notable and delish. We also got to try a variety of gelatos (vanilla, mint and pina colada - my fave). Overall, can't wait to be back for more pizza! Parking - Valet or avail handicap parking in their plaza Restrooms - individual stalls and clean/dark

    Visited Rosie's on a Saturday night for pizza and some wine! I had a reservation and sat at the bar. Austin was one of the bartenders and he was amazing--he did not miss with his suggestions! One of his suggestions was the Cacio e Pepe pizza (added sausage and mushrooms) and it was delicious! No notes really! I really enjoyed the staff, everyone was friendly and had a nice aura! Also, not sure who was on the aux but the playlist was fire. They played songs that if you knew, you vibed! I am definitely returning!

    Carrots and burrata. I would visit there ten times over for this dish alone!
    Jennifer H.

    All that and then some! This place is a just as spectacular as everyone says it is. From starters to drink to dessert. You can't go wrong with anything. We started with a classic G&T along with this carrot and burrata dish that was such a unique blend of flavor and texture. I could eat about four bowls. Their pizzas are classically great, but don't forget to add some dipping sauces or you are missing out. The honey cake is simply delicious, add an espresso martini to kick it up a notch! Overall A++++ in every aspect!

    Had a great dinner here during their reverse happy hour! Highly recommend visiting during their reverse HH, for half off glass of wine and pizza. Forgot to get photos of our pizzas, but they were great. We got the Rosie's Supreme (very delicious, our favorite) and the Pizza Alla Nerano (also good). They also give you complimentary small pours of a sparkling red (Lambrusco) upon seating, which we ended up ordering a glass of. Staff were very friendly and loved the ambience. Will be back!

    Lovely ambiance!! Perfect for a date or a girls night out. Great happy hour at 9pm, half off pizzas and booze. Absolutely loved the cacio e pepe pizza, knew this place deserved the Michelin regard after taking a bite. Cocktails are very fun and strong! On the sweeter side for most, our server gave us great recommendations.

    Cookie à la mode, gelato, and honey cake

    I went to Rosie Cannonball with a group of friends on a Saturday night to celebrate my birthday, and it was such a great experience. Make a reservation -- it's an absolute must. They also offer complimentary valet, which is super convenient (just don't forget to tip your driver!). Even though it was packed, our waiter was incredibly sweet and attentive the entire night. They started us off with some complimentary wine and we paired that with the focaccia, which was warm, fluffy, and delicious. For pizzas, we ordered two: the spinach artichoke dip pizza, which was good with great flavor, and the hot honey pepperoni pizza, which completely stole the show. It was a 10/10 -- so good that I already have another reservation this weekend just to go back for it. For dessert, we had their famous honey cake, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. It's a must-order -- seriously, save room for it. We also tried the chocolate chip à la mode, which was really good, and since it was my birthday, our waiter brought out some gelato, which was a really nice touch and tasted great. For drinks, I had an amaretto sour and the Montrose Mami -- both were good, but I especially loved the Montrose Mami. It's basically like a piña colada and super refreshing. Overall, this place is popular for a reason. If you haven't tried it yet, you definitely should.

    Chicken Basquaise was delicious.
    Violet H.

    Went to here to celebrate my birthday and it did not disappoint. The food was amazing! Here is what we got and what I would recommend... The Focaccia is a must, 10/10 The tuna tartare also delicious 8/10 We ordered 3 pizzas - the pepperoni 9/10, supreme 9/10, and cacio e pepe 10/10. The cacio e pepe is a must. It was outstanding. Our sever recommended the salsa verde with it and he was right. Btw.. get all 3 sauces and the hot honey. They are delicious and will elevate your pizza experience. We also got the chicken basquaise 9/10 and the bolognese 10/10. All chefs kiss. Dessert - the honey cake was incredible 10/10 and the rhubarb was great 8/10. Vibe and ambiance 10/10 - cool place! Now, the server was ok. Nothing special, not very attentive. Could have honestly been better, given the fact that they have a bib gourmand recognition and there's a lot of buzz surrounding it. I would definitely recommended this place. We will def be back.

    Pepperoni Pizza
    Jamaal W.

    My colleague Maria put me on to Rosie's. I knew I could trust her pizza reviews and I'm glad I listened. I came specifically for the pepperoni pizza and it was worth it! Fresh ingredients and a nice crust, and I opted for extra pepperoni to make sure I wasn't disappointed. It was a lazy weekend night for me so I placed a carry out order, but next time I'll be dining in. The ambience of the dining room is perfect for a date night or a solo date to indulge in a guilty pleasure. Overall 9/10.

    Pasta in tiny deli containers
    Maggie N.

    Extremely disappointed with our recent order from this restaurant via Uber Eats. We ordered two pizzas (cheese and spinach artichoke) and two pasta dishes (bolognese and pasta norma). The spinach artichoke pizza was completely burnt on the bottom, to the point where it was inedible, and had an unexpectedly sour flavor. At $28, it was a total waste of money. Furthermore, the pasta portions were shockingly small, arriving in tiny 16 oz deli containers despite the high price points ($26 for the bolognese and $24 for the pasta norma). For the cost, the value and quality were unacceptable. We will not be ordering from here again.

    Table Bag Hooks
    Cayli P.

    Rosie Cannonball is Houston's only Italian Michelin-listed restaurant. The vibe, ambiance, food, and service is perfect for a girls' night or dinner date. We received complimentary glasses of rosé and a blistered bean salad upon being seated. I definitely felt wined and dined. The high tables even have bag hooks! The service was amazing (even when they were busy). My friends and I really enjoyed their cocktails and the bone marrow. Their honey cake is a MUST-TRY. Totally melts in your mouth. So flavorful and to die for.

    Complementary Lambrusco Mezcal cocktail
    Mel S.

    I'm really confused as to why the reservation list is booked out a week in advance, because this place simply did not live up to the hype. While the service was great and the ambience was nice, the food was a huge letdown. The Pepperoni Pizza: The crust lacked flavor and had a cardboard, frozen-pizza texture. The pepperoni itself tasted like a cheap, low-quality brand. The Ham & Pineapple Pizza: It was entirely one flavor, only pineapple was the only flavor coming through. The Bolognese: It wasn't quite as flavorless as the pizza, but it was completely forgettable and I wouldn't order it again.

    Charred Cabbage-$20. The best vegetable I've had in 2025 and 2026! lol The duck skin and dressing are addictive!

    Ask the Community - Rosie Cannonball

    Do they have gluten free pizza or pasta?

    I did not see this option. Phone them and ask.

    Is there a brunch menu?

    Nope, just a lunch menu. They are open for lunch on Saturday starting at 11:30 but they are only open for dinner on Sunday.

    Is it by reservation or can you walk in for a table or sit at the bar?

    I recommend making a reservation but you can walk in and sit at a high top table or at the bar.

    Do they have a dress code?

    I don't think there is an official dress code but because of the ambiance, I would recommend semi casual/semi dress.

    Has the menu changed during the pandemic?

    Does this place have outdoor seating?

    Yes, the have outdoor seating.

    Are there gluten-free options?

    I went with a friend last weekend who is dairy and gluten free and they were able to make some changes to dishes to accommodate her no problem.

    What is green sauce on fennel pizza?

    I can't remember exactly, but the base is broccoli-something! (Broccolini, broccoli rabe--not sure which one) It definitely tastes more bitter than a basil pesto.

    Okay, Nancy's Hustle is officially a HIDDEN GEM!…read more I chose this place for dinner based on a recommendation, and it absolutely did not disappoint. This was the dinner portion of a first date, and the vibe was PERFECT. First things first--Nancy's Hustle is kind of tucked away, so you need to know where you're going. Map yourself there and pay attention because you could easily pass right by it. But once I opened that door... YES! It's a small, intimate restaurant with low lighting, a bar, table seating and a patio. We arrived before the patio opened at 7:00, which was perfectly fine with me because I actually prefer sitting at the bar. The whole space just had that cozy, intimate, grown-folks-date-night feel without trying too hard. We started with cocktails. My date ordered one of their summer cocktails--I cannot remember the name to save my life --but it was a beautiful yellow drink served with a pineapple slice, and it was GOOD! I stuck with my favorite, a classic Long Island, and they made it perfectly. Now let's talk about this FOOD! We tried the Parmesan and Pancetta Croquettes, and they were delicious. Crispy on the outside and incredibly soft, creamy, savory and cheesy inside, with shredded Parmesan across the top. Even the presentation was beautiful. I ordered the cheeseburger, and I almost NEVER get excited about somebody changing up a burger, but this one came on an English muffin and IT WORKED! The fresh beef smash burger was cooked perfectly. I left off the pickles, aioli and onions, but otherwise I wouldn't have changed a thing. It was honestly one of the best-prepared burgers I've had in a while. Then, halfway through my burger, I discovered they had French fries. How did I miss the fries?! So of course I ordered them late, and I'm glad I did. Fresh, hand-cut potatoes, perfectly cooked, and served with a dipping sauce that I cannot identify--but whatever was in that little cup needs to keep happening because it was AMAZING. From the cocktails to the food to the atmosphere, Nancy's Hustle was exactly what I wanted for a first-date dinner: intimate, relaxed, interesting and GOOD. Definitely one of those places that makes you say, "How have I never been here before?" Nancy's Hustle, I WILL be back.

I went during lunch, and it wasn't too busy, which was a plus. We made a reservation because I had heard this place gets packed. I got the potato croquette, the steak frites (which was +$24), and the chocolate dome. The potato croquette was phenomenal, and I really enjoyed it. It was crispy with a soft interior, and the sauce tasted like a tomato bisque, which paired really well with it. The steak frites, on the other hand, was not good. I'm used to steak frites being cut already, which isn't a big deal, but this steak was WELL DONE when I ordered medium rare. The waitress did offer to make me another one since I only ate two bites, but I don't like sending food back. So, I just kept it, didn't eat it, and still paid for it. :( The chocolate dome was good. The flavors were decent, and I liked the texture. The cappuccino was bland and boring. I don't think I'll be going back here.

We arrived before 6:30pm which meant we were able to order from the HH menu. I had a signature cocktail called So Fresh So Clean (love the Outkast reference). This cucumber based cocktail was very refreshing! I also had a Clover Club which I enjoyed (I love the egg white)! Fried Deviled Egg - I opted to add caviar for an additional $8. It was good, but I just really prefer traditional deviled eggs without breading on them. Market Fish - Absolutely delicious! The fish was tender and flaky, seasoned well, and the tomato bacon broth was soooo good! My only complaint was the small portion. Bees Knees - Delicious! Caviar Tots - Compliments of Chef, Ryan (thank you)! 2nd Visit: I came back for dinner. Our server was Chris and he was really nice. We ordered a bunch of items for the table to share. Drinks: I did a So Fresh So Clean because I'm predictable and I loved it the first time. I also had a Negroni and it was really good. Butter Burgers: It normally comes with two, but Chris was nice and brought out a 3rd burger so that we could each have one. I enjoyed the French onion flavor in the beef, but the burger was too buttery for my taste. Crispy Potatoes - Very good with great flavor. Mushroom Empanada - I didn't try any, but my friends enjoyed them. Hanger Steak - It took 40 minutes for the steak to be brought out and unfortunately, one steak was overcooked while the other was undercooked. I tried a bite of the overcooked steak and the flavor was there. The steak was tender enough for my preference. Market Fish - Red Snapper. It was a larger portion, but the flavor wasn't as good as the first time. Additionally, my fish came out about 10 minutes before the steak and it got cold because I was waiting on the steak to be brought out. I read an article on Culture Map that Riel is closing down at the end of August. If Riel is on your list to try, go now before it's too late.

    Came to Bistro Menil for a friend's birthday celebration to have afternoon tea on a Sunday for 2PM…read more Reservation process was smooth and our table was ready when we arrived. There is a small parking lot available for guests at the Bistro and for the Menil behind the building. There was plenty of parking available when we arrived. I was the first to arrive and as soon as I walked to the host stand, the host had time to say hello but then the phone rang. I was discouraged that he asked me to wait while he took the phone call and unfortunately it took several minutes. Once he hung up, he seated me promptly. The afternoon tea is lovely - you receive either italian soda (lemon or raspberry) or a glass of champagne first. Next, our food arrived and a little while later, we ordered our tea. All of the drinks were delicious and served at great temperatures (hot and cold, depending). The food was also delicious and the perfect portions for the occasion. At times, it was hard to get in touch with our waiter and service was a bit slow, but overall a good experience and I would go again for afternoon tea.

    I was finally able to try this Houston staple last weekend!…read more Food: 4.5/5 - I loved the tomato toast and warm broth the best! The tomato toast was not overhyped and definitely worth getting. The bread is nice and oily yet still crusty and crunchy. The tomatoes and greens on top paired perfectly with the sourdough. - The warm broth doesn't seem like much from pictures and description but it was just so comforting and had nice umami. The green onions really bring out the rest of the flavors. - Ratatouille: this was one of our server's recommendations. I thought it was pretty good but slightly too sour/over-pickled for me. (I'm also not a big pickle person) - Butternut squash: This was probably the next best dish after the toast and broth. All the flavors and texture were there except the squash was a little hard. It could've been cooked a little longer to make it easier to cut through. I guess it is out of season, but still. - Squab aka pigeon: Also pretty good. The dried raspberries actually pair very well with it. Ambiance: 4/5 - The space is extremely small so you really need reservations. - It's so small that the tables are quite close together. But they were also not evenly spaced out so we tried to move our table away from the people next to us (we were practically touching!) and the staff insisted that we don't move them because they need to access the cutlery in the drawer on the side of the table?? First of all, they could've still accessed it after we moved the table. Second, if the space is that tiny, why not just store the utensils elsewhere? Very odd and didn't like that vibe.

    This place is interesting. We had heard about this restaurant for years, and finally made our way…read moreout on a Saturday night. We made reservations several days in advance and still were only able to get patio seats. The vibe of the place is so Houston. It's a really nice restaurant - inside is small and cozy, decorated beautifully. The patio only has 2 tables but it's elegant. And it looks out at the highway, billboards, downtown, and abandoned homeless encampments. During dinner, we had a bachelorette party bus park beside us and a couple shirtless guys come up from the bayou with fishing poles. But it works - that's Houston! Food itself was good, but not great. I'll give it 5/5 stars for originality - each dish was unlike anything I've had elsewhere. - ratatouille- 4/5 - it was interesting, and mostly loved that it was soaking in some delicious olive oil. - broth- 4/5 - a nice little spicy kick, but otherwise was just okay - Tuna sashimi - 5/5 - fish was fresh and tasty! Appreciated the crunch between the layers of tuna. - French cheese pancake - 4/5 - generally can't go wrong with bread and cheese. It's interesting, and I liked the green onions topping it. - Fried shrimp and shiso- 4/5 - didn't love the sauce this came with, but otherwise this almost tasted like a jalapeno popper with shrimp. - snapper - 3/5 - poached, and pretty bland. Came with a very fishy seaweed reduction on the side. - potatoes side - 2/5 - don't get these unless you're looking for just boiled potatoes. They're pretty flavorless. Overall, interesting food for a one time visit, but unlikely a place we'll return to.

    So I've been here twice now. The first time I came was for restaurant week- they had a great menu…read morewith lots of options! El Pulpo is my favorite dish from here! I came back the second time just for this! For the restaurant week I tried the suckling pig- i was honestly a little disappointed with it. The waiter had recommended it but i ended up getting some gristle at some point and couldn't finish eating as it really turned me off of it. For dessert I had the (tarta de Santiago)-almond cake- again it was fine- I wasn't overly impressed with it- was a little dry. When I came back the second time was a much better experience! Started off with el pulpo again (of course) and we also had the Patatas bravas.- they are very unique and creamy. We also tried a pistachio and beet salad which was very light and refreshing. The almond soup- was ok- I will pass on it next time. And the main course we had the Bomba rice with seafood- very similar to paella. I really enjoyed this dish! Desserts we had the Gypsy's arm- sponge cake with carmelized custard- complimentary for my birthday :) and we also tried the warm manchego cheese lava cake. I really enjoyed both of them. Overall is it was a much better experience the second time around and will definitely be returning for more pulpo

    Lucky to be able to get a table for an early dinner date night on a Wednesday at BCN. Reservations…read moreare a must for this Michelin gem. Nestled in an old home, the atmosphere is upscale and cozy at the same time. The restaurant is filled with masterpieces that match the culinary artistry for which BCN Taste & Tradition is known. BCN...the airport code for Barcelona. So of course the food brings the delights of Spanish cuisine to Montrose. It also features modern Spanish masters in the decor. The complimentary bread service was a great way to start the meal. Since we don't eat pork or shellfish, they brought us a small plate filled with manchego cheese (my favorite) and small white spoons topped with the most delicious artichoke hearts. Thank you for the VIP service. What a great to start a five star dining adventure! We went for the Houston Restaurant Week (HRW) menu. Our waiter, Roberto, was great. He helped guide us given our dietary restrictions. He also gave us an art history lesson on the beautiful works that are scattered throughout the converted two story former Victorian home. You coukld tell that he and his assistant, Romy, love their "home." For the appetizers, the "Patatas Bravas BCN" is a classic. Potatoes filled with spicy oil and alioli. The perfect bite for a hot appetizer. We also had the beet-pistachio-raspberry ravioli salad. The paper thin sliced multicolored beets are magically filled with kefir cheese and pistachio oil to create beet ravioli. So delicious. The entrees were so delicious. The Grilled Duck Breast is served with sliced quince, Idiazábal cheese sauce, pine nuts and balsamic vinegar reduction. It is so beautiful and the sauce is a joyful explosion of flavor. My husband upgraded to the Grilled Lamb Chops as the Grandma's sauce for the filet mignon has shellfish in it. Thank you, Roberto, for letting us know. The lamb chops are served with BCN potatoes, roasted zucchini filled with eggplant, red bell pepper, onion, and a confit tomato and a side of garlic alioli to enhance the lamb. So tasty. Finished the meal with the crispy fillo dough and the chocolate cake in textures. The crispy fillo dough is filled with the creamiest Catalán vanilla brûlée and aged rum raisins. The decadent chocolate cake and chocolate mousse is served with a cute little ice cream cone filled with a refreshing raspberry sorbet. The perfect way to cap a wonderful meal. Since Roberto told us so much about the art, I had to visit the original masterpieces by modern Spanish master artists. Joan Miró. Pablo Picasso. Salvador Dalí. Paintings and ceramics that adorn the walls, the bookcases, the fireplace. Thank you to Paco for sharing the story behind the two Salvador Dalí pieces in the private dining room. A necklace for Dominique de Menil, who founded the Menil Collection, and a collage created to advertise pantyhose. Amazing! The attention to the fine details throughout BCN Taste +Tradition is commendable. From making sure that we were enjoying our meal to watching the waiters steam and iron the table cloths for the next guest, BCN definitely takes dining to another level. Thank you to Paco, Roberto and Rony for an exceptionally memorable dining experience. We've been to BCN and MAD. I can't wait to see what is on the menu next for another five star immersive adventure. #3000+1
