    Carrot cake
    Addessa J.

    My husband and I ordered several different items. Mango smoothie Bacon, egg and cheese croissant Prosciutto, egg and cheese croissant I also had Carmello coffee. The carrot cake was very okay delicious. One of the best I have had from a local cafe in a while All of our food tasted really good. My husband said that he enjoyed the prosciutto, egg and cheese a little better then bacon, egg and cheese was good. Everything tasted like quality and fresh ingredients. This is a small coffee shop with a lot of tables to sit. I saw others working from the cafe along. Most part it was pretty quiet. Everything was clean. We had a nice little visit at Fellini no complaints.

    If you're looking for a nice cup of coffee or perhaps a sweet treat, and you're in the Rice Village area you should swing by Fellini Caffè This spot is just off the Rice Village beaten path, but close enough to all your favorite boutiques, restaurants, and other shops There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. If you choose outside there is some shade They have all your signature espresso drinks, gelato, and a bunch of Italian (and other) dessert pastries. There is also alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages to choose from The interior is nice and clean. Nothing too fancy, but inviting and plenty of AC. The staff is friendly and helpful Some tips: There is 2hr street parking nearby. You can also walk a few blocks out to Chaucer for additional parking. If you're like me and you love espresso AND gelato, opt for an affogato. You won't be disappointed Cheers!!

    Update to my previous review. I wanted to come back to see if the. cioccalattini torte was as good as I remembered. It was.

    Cute, classy, simple cafe vibes. Italian inspired cafe with your traditional coffees offering brunch options and gelato! They have a rotating special menu in the front so be sure to take a look at what they have if you want something more snazzy than a cup of coffee! Limited seating inside with even less options close to an outlet so be wary if you are trying to study here for extended hours. Very limited free parking in the area. I ended up paying to park on the street.

    This place was great, my wife and i met up with some friends and got some coffee and some sweets. Would recommend the creme brûlée.

    Baklava

    I got a baklava and it was super dense and sweet. I wanted to try there other pastries but everything was a bit expensive. It has a lot of seating on the inside with plugs which is good for working but it can get a bit loud. The workers were nice and explained the pastries to us well.

    Had the ricotta beignet, chocolate truffle, espresso shakerato, and tomato basil soup. All incredible...that soup is better than La Madeleine even! I like sweet coffee so the espresso shakerato was delicious and texture was amazing but I will def ask for maybe a splash of syrup next time (completely a personal preference). But even for a sweet coffee drinker, it was super smooth and had a hint of sweet hazelnut. I sat outdoor and atmosphere in this area is perfect. Lots of paid street parking and free 2 hour street parking. Great find off the main street area.

    Iced Mocha Iced Chai Latte Pistachio diplomatica  Pistachio cannoli
    Danni Y.

    Good Italian pastries but the coffee wasn't stellar. We got the pistachio cannoli - 5/5, perfectly flaky cannoli shell with fresh piped cream Pistachio diplomatica - 4/5, the cream and cake were good and moist but the pastry on top was a little dry Coffees were only okay. The staff was initially pleasant but they got some of our order wrong and argued with us after one thing so we didn't even bother correcting the second time. There are some seating options inside and a little area outside which was nice to sit on a pleasant day.

    A very cute Italian cafe in the heart of Rice Village and as can be expected kinda expensive. We were hungry after all the morning walk in Hermann Park and made a big order of Latte with extra shot, Caprese avocado toast, pistachio biscotti, and a fruit tart. Afterall, I had to make up for the 200 calories I burned just now .... Lol We took the little private looking booth inside the cafe, but they do have plenty seating area outside as well. Loved the toast, it's literally avocado on toast, but with the cheese and balsamic vinegar on top, it really came together as a light tasty healthy breakfast The biscotti was ok. Coffee was nice, but I should mention extra hot next time. The tart , hmmm, was Not good. The crust was really hard, there was too much custard that had lost its moisture and was unsavory. Service was fast and they brought out the food to the table. The staff put on a professional behavior which is perfectly acceptable by me. What I loved even more free parking (but limited) in an area which had plenty shade for my precious new car, maybe that time of the day..... whatever, but that felt welcoming.

    This used to be one of my favorite spot in the Rice Village. Yesterday we came here for coffee and desserts after eating at Kasra. The place has not been the same. Slow service and staffs didn't look friendly. We had the puff pastry strawberry and it taste like it had been in the glass window for many days. We ordered some tea and coffee and it took a long time even though it was almost closing time and there were no one at the ordering lines beside us. After this time , I don't think I want to come back anymore Coffee is not great and so the desserts

    Affogato
    Rohit G.

    Met up with a friend here to hang out. This place has fantastic vibes. It's clean, fresh, and sharp. It was also not crowded, and it was easy to have a conversation comfortably. I got an affogato al cafe and it was good. They have a ton of gelato choices, and I recommend asking the staff for recommendations. The gelato was a little too sweet for my liking and it's a bit pricy (~$7), but you get 3 full scoops. Overall I had a positive experience here!

    Monique T.

    Great service- gelato, lots of great options, and diverse menu. We did ask for the crème- and I think the person heard us ask for cream cake. Cannoli looks like it's made filled per order. And chocolate & cherry gelati were good!!!

    Perfect recipe to start Sunday Funday feeling energized and refreshed

    Does this place have brunch? What's a good place for brunch in Rice Village?

    Hi! No, unfortunately no brunch here. Usually a quiche and sweets. Check out Coco Crepes or Le Peep in Rice Village for brunch menu options. Hope that helps! :)

The lighting and atmosphere was perfect for a quaint date night. And I want to know what jazz playlist they were playing because it was great. What blew it out of the water was the service, particularly by the owner himself. As someone who works in the restaurant industry, having the owner on the floor is almost never seen.

Plus, he was incredibly kind with an amazing smile. Idk what he saw in my partner and I, but he gave us tiramisu on the house. We are not fancy influencers or rich folk, and I feel that was kinda obvious. But I think he did it just to make our date night a lil bit more special. And that kind of effort should be rewarded.

The Bolognese was also excellent--rich and flavorful without being overly salty, which I really appreciated. What stood out to me most was how well-balanced everything tasted. You can tell there's a real focus on fresh ingredients and authentic Italian flavors. The food is flavorful and satisfying without feeling overly heavy or salty like many American Italian chains. I feel comfortable feeding my child the food from here. I'm so glad to have found a quality Italian restaurant in Houston that lets the ingredients and flavors speak for themselves. Even the panna cotta was delicious, and I'm usually not much of a dessert person! Definitely a 5-star experience. We'll be back!

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!
