Bar style pizza pies with extremely thin crusts are the go to item here. There's parking in front of the restaurant. The interior is very casual with booth seating and a bar. Their burrata is fine, and comes with some toast. The bar pies are very thin. The toppings are decent quality and the crust is fairly thin. My only complaint is that the bottom crust is burned in places and they need to clean their oven. The taste is solid and it's a cool pizza spot that doesn't copy the other styles (Neapolitan and New York) that is in town.

Everything here was great. The mozzarella sticks were some of the best I've had and the salad was hittin. Only reason I wouldn't give 5 stars was that the pizza itself was much saltier than we were expecting. perhaps it was the use of capicola or guanciale that made it saltier. However overall I would come back to try more! Also the service here was quick and thy were very kind. Ambiance was very packed and it was busy evening so it was quite loud but the retro vibes were nice.

(3/5) Maybe it's just me, but Houston really knows how to hype up restaurants sometimes. First off, parking was a mess. To be fair, I think Nando's is in the Heights area, so that's somewhat expected, but it's still worth mentioning if you're planning a visit. The restaurant itself is super cute and definitely has a great vibe. The service was excellent from start to finish, and I can absolutely see why people enjoy hanging out here, especially if you're grabbing drinks with friends. The atmosphere was probably my favorite part of the experience. As for the food... it was just okay. We ordered wings, which had an interesting flavor. They were good, but not in a way that had me wanting more. We also got a pesto pizza, and while it was manageable, it was extremely salty. The second pizza was pepperoni with jalapeños, but the jalapeños were surprisingly dull and didn't add much flavor at all. The standout item for us was actually the Caesar salad. It was fresh, flavorful, and honestly the best thing we ordered. We each had a Coke, ordered a few items, and somehow the bill ended up close to $100, which felt pretty steep for what we got. The food wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't memorable enough to justify the price point. One thing I noticed: a lot of people were ordering the Funghi pizza. It's not really my thing, but it seemed to be one of the most popular items in the restaurant. Overall, I'm glad I tried it. The service was amazing, the atmosphere was great, and the space itself is beautiful. The food just wasn't giving what we expected based on all the hype.

This is one of their signature drinks. "Oh Bee-Have" Gin, White Peach, Lemon, Basil. Very good. A1.

Food was amazing. Drink was great. Service was A1. Especially since it was our first time, our server definitely helped us out. Ambiance was a vibe. Music was on 1. Hit after hit and they have arcade games!¡ Will be going back in the near future.

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 boyfriend took me here for a date night last Saturday. Neither of us had been before so we really didn't know what to expect. I'm already a fan of the food at Toasted Coconut so I figured it couldn't be bad. To start, we ordered the mozzarella sticks because our server said they're one of the restaurant's most popular items. They came with both a regular marinara and a spicy marinara. The spicy one wasn't really my favorite taste wise but the regular marinara was delicious. And the cheese pull on those mozzarella sticks was CRAZYYYYY! I see why they're popular. For our mains, we shared a buffalo chicken pizza and an order of the potato gnocchi. Honestly the pizza was large enough that we probably didn't need the gnocchi but we wanted to try a few different dishes. Their pizzas come in a thin crispy crust and are cut into squares which I actually loved because you don't end up feeling overly stuffed from all the bread. The buffalo chicken pizza was super tasty. The buffalo sauce had a nice kick and was super tangy! The potato gnocchi was also fantastic. It came in a pesto sauce with goat cheese which is always a winning combination for me. The flavors worked so well together and the gnocchi itself was so freaking soft and pillowy. The service was okay. Our server was attentive at the beginning but once the food arrived we didn't see much of her until we flagged her down to bring the check. Nothing terrible but it definitely was not memorable. What really stood out to me was the atmosphere. The space is super hip with dim lighting, cool decor, and great music playing. The vibe alone makes it worth visiting! Overall, we had a great meal and a really fun date night. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

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

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

Rafael W.

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.

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!
