    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

    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.

    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

    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

    Potatoes were awesome!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Mozz Sticks
    Amanda O.

    Let me start by saying this restaurant vibe is so inviting and reminds me of my younger college days! It has a very nostalgic look but with a modern twist! The staff was great and super friendly. They provided superb service without all the extra fluff of big box pizza places. The menu is clear and prices are reasonable. I had the Mozz Sticks are great hefty size full of cheeese! The marinara sauce was on point! I had the spicy one and regular were super delish! Now, for main dish! I had the Pepperoni was soo good and like no other pizza I had. It was crispy and cheesy without the cheese falling off the pizza. It was flavorful and perfect for an earlier dinner without too much bread. I would definitely recommend to all my pizza lovers! This is hands down such a good spot that hits the SPOT! I will be back to try the pasta and drinks!

    Meathead pizza
    Dee D.

    I really like the atmosphere here. The service was really good. The pizza reminds me of pizza that I had in high school with the crispy crust. The dipping sauces were good. I'd go back just for the video games and retro feel. Definitely would ask for roasted garlic and a bit more sauce on my pizza. I feel like it would have been perfect if that was added. Really liked the atmosphere here--super chill with a fun, retro vibe. Service was great too. The pizza brought back high school memories with that crispy crust. The dipping sauces were a nice touch. I'd definitely come back just for the video games and the whole throwback feel. Only thing I'd change: I wish the pizza had a bit more sauce and some roasted garlic. That would've made it perfect. Definitely will add that to it when I go back. I didn't realize I could do so. Making a note here for myself also to do it.

    Came with 2 Yelpers. This place was on there list, and I too was curious so we decided on this. Parking- they have a some spots out front, it shares a lot with other business. But this was full. I followed my friend across the street and found the toasted coconut sign and you can park there. Service - was really the best. Our server Frank was fantastic, easy breezy, conversational, happy to help, and gave us a little taste of one of the cocktails, which was soo kind. Food- the 3 of us decided to split a pizza and it was the right move, as it was enough for us. If you do come solo, be prepared to bring home takeaway. Cutesy vibe with the throwback games and Pizza Hut Chandliers, and old timey wooden framing decor, and cool record player. Would I return? Most def.

    Pizza and mozzarella sticks were good, wings could use a sauce or more seasoning. Frozen passion fruit martini 10/10 :)

    Sara-Grace C.

    We went with a group of eight and squished into a booth. I saw other areas that would have fit our group better but it's ok. The pizza was yummy and made to order so it took a bit. I feel like service was just ok. They charge 22% tip for large groups and the service didn't feel equal to it. Our server forgot our sauces, didn't refill our waters and we had to flag him down a couple of times. Parking is also hard so it was good for a birthday dinner but it didn't feel like we'd go again for a celebration.

    See all

    A friend and I went for a late lunch, and had the most lovely experience!…read more The food was all absolutely wonderful, the service impeccable, the staff very gracious. We sat on the patio and even though we were there for two hours our server never missed a beat! We ordered a bottle of Prosecco to start and he was always there right before our wine glasses were empty to refill them, and then again to get us started on something else when the bottle was gone. Our waters were never empty, as soon as a plate was cleared it was gone, as we finished a slice of pizza he was there to serve our next. The food was all lovely: we had the insalata Bianca and the arugula salad with lemon vinaigrette, we both agreed the arugula salad was our favorite, I'm not usually a fan of a salad with just arugula in it, but this was so good I'm going to go home and try to duplicate the dressing so I can make all the time! We then had the Rabiola and Salsiccia E Friarielli pizzas, both cooked perfectly, our server recommended the rabiola and so glad we got it! Finished off with great coffee and the chef brought us out these amazing little dark chocolate truffles and biscotti to go with it. Honestly, one of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had. I wish I lived here so I could go again soon! But I will definitely be back next time I am in Houston!

First off, it's located in a cool little pocket on the East End inside Tlaquepaque Market. It looks a bit dark from the outside at night, but once you step in, it's warm and cozy. There's also plenty of parking, which is always a plus. My wife and I shared the pane along with their Valentine's Day prix fixe menu, which included an appetizer, salad, pasta, and dessert. The pane came out warm - perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.The starter was a scallop with pomegranate vinaigrette that was light, bright, and a great way to open up the palate. The salad (I think it was purple kale, but I forgot to ask) was fresh and well-balanced. For the main, we had a pasta dish topped with a ribeye meatball that featured a bold sauce with tons of flavor, and the meatball had a subtle kick to it. Dessert was a cherry gelato that was simple, refreshing, and the perfect way to end the meal. They also have a solid wine selection, which paired nicely with dinner. Service was great - our server Philip was clearly busy but still made sure to check on us regularly. Overall, this is a great East End date-night spot. They also have a spacious outdoor patio that feels like it was pulled straight out of an Italian backyard. We'll definitely be back.

We got the mushroom pastry thing from the appetizers - perfection. The pastry itself was a knockout but the "sauce" was *chefs kiss*. It's something I already desperately want to recreate at home but know it won't get there, c'est la vie. Anyways, the specials sounded amazing but we settled for giving the regular menu a whirl. He had the seafood lasagna and I had the chicken piccata. Both were excellent. Their chicken piccata take is better than the standard version - highly recommend. Hubs said the lasagna was great too. All in all, we loved everything, can't wait to go back. I'd also rate Mia Bella extremely high on value - for service, food quality, and portion size they're very reasonable on cost.

Some of y'all are silly gooses Anyway, my friend and I came by on a Thursday night and it was pretty busy! The inside of the restaurant is decorated with so many Italian knick knacks which gives this place a cozy vibe. Instead of ordering an appetizer and an entree, my friend and I decided to order 3 things from the appetizer menu: Arancini Montanare Impepata Napoletana The arancini was delicious! The exterior/crust wasn't too thick and was fried nicely. As for the filling, it had cheese, beef, and tomato sauce- yum! I really enjoyed the montanare because it came with 3 different toppings. Not to mention, the bread was fantastic! All 3 were great but my favorite was the one with smoked provolone, anchovy, and the red chili on top (I believe that's what the red topping is). The Impepata Napoletana was another solid dish- loved the white wine sauce with garlic and pepper. Although it was a tad bit too salty for me, it paired nicely with the bread. For dessert, my friend got the pistachio gelato and I ordered the Tiramisu. Both were a great way to end dinner. Food was wonderful, our waiter was very friendly/welcoming, and the vibes were lovely. This spot is a gem!

    Aperitivo has been on my last for awhile now with the gorgeous interior and downtown skyline views…read more A group of my friends and I finally got the chance to visit, unplanned, on a Sunday evening while celebrating a birthday. The restaurant and bar is located on the top floor of the new East River complex. They have valet parking as well as free lot parking a couple of blocks away. Since the visit was a last minute decision, we did not have a reservation. The hostess informed us that they would be able to seat us but that drinks may be up to a 30 minute wait since they only had one bartender. We agreed and were seated at a large table inside. While skyline views always make a place special, Aperitivo raises the bar even further with lux design and interior accents that make it feel super elevated. In terms of drinks, they have a number of original cocktails that you won't be able to find anywhere else. My friend got the "caprese" which is prepared with tomato water and a mozzarella brine, which was translucent and had a hearty but balanced finish. An interesting drink for sure. I got the "Aperitivo spritz" which was very light and refreshing. Cocktails are all $18 and there is also an automatic 20% gratuity added to all checks. The drinks and ambience were great but unfortunately the service did not impress us. After being seated, we had some time to review the menu before our waitress approached the table. When she arrived, we did ask whether there would be a 30 minute wait for drinks after the host provided this warning due to the single bartender. She took the question defensively saying that she had a bunch of tables and got to our table when she could. I realize that the question could have been interpreted in the wrong way but will say that her response was not very customer service oriented. This was a little bit of a let down given that you are locked into a 20% gratuity.

The problem was the food did not match the high reviews at all. My wife's lasagna came out looking like a giant block of tofu. It didn't resemble lasagna, the pasta felt rubbery, and the meat didn't even look like ground beef. She didn't feel comfortable eating it. Her Greek salad also looked off, like a mix between a Caesar salad and something random with feta on top. I ordered the Chelidra Rossa because I love red snapper. What I got was definitely not red snapper. It tasted and broke apart like old tilapia that had been sitting for days. The dish also only came with one shrimp, which was disappointing. The pasta, vegetables, and mushrooms were bland and had no flavor. The bread was not fresh. When I asked for vinegar, they brought another oil mixture that wasn't what I asked for. The calamari came with a dried-out lemon that had clearly been sitting, and I had to ask for fresh slices. The pizza also didn't taste right, and the cheese had a grainy texture that didn't melt like normal pizza cheese. For what we paid, the quality didn't come close to matching the price. We ate maybe 10 percent of our food and left. I honestly don't understand how people are saying this place has fresh pasta and fresh ingredients. Based on our experience, it clearly did not. Real, honest reviews matter, and this was ours. I really wanted to like this place, but this just wasn't it. I won't be returning.
