Our dining experience was marked by lengthy waiting times and confusion. From the moment we placed our order to the time the food arrived at our table, we endured a wait of fifty-two minutes. The extended delay caused considerable confusion, and despite our inquiries about ordering something quick like soup to satiate our hunger, we were assured that our order was next up. Consequently, we waited an additional twenty-five minutes before our food arrived. To make matters worse, the food was served at room temperature, forcing us to send it back to the kitchen for reheating. Once the temperature of the dishes was improved, we found the taste to be subpar, with the exception of the risotto which was the only dish that met our expectations. When we sought a discount to compensate for the inconveniences we faced, we were informed that the owner had left for the evening and the executive chef would argue in return and makes matter worse. Sorry, Giompaolo Nundini, while I sympathize with the challenges of finding good staff in today's world, I am unable to justify spending my money in an establishment where dining becomes a test of patience. p.s. customers who don’t want valet in their cars due to hygiene should be accommodated to park their own car reasonably.

“Never judge a book by its cover!” Tucked away in a warehouse in the iconic Heights this place proved to be amazing. Truly authentic, made to order, fresh Italian cuisine. The establishment has 3 bars and several rooms to be rented out for private dining or events. Equipped with a market of imported Italian delicacies and fresh gelato bar, you can’t go wrong. Not to mention the abundant choice of regional wines to pick from is incredible. 10/10 recommend if you are not in a rush and want to enjoy some delicious Italian cuisine.

We used to live in the heights and it’s was one of our favorite restaurants. Last time we came was probably 2 to 3 years ago (prior to the COVID) and tonight we were a little bit disappointed. The appetizers were very good but the main course not as good as in the past. Risotto overcooked, spaghetti à la carbonara too salty, the steak was good….we were initially pleased to come back but we honestly left frustrated. The very positive point is the cellar and huge choice of wines.

My husband and I went here for date night last night and chef Timothy promised us a great night and he wasn't kidding. After talking to us he told us he told us just to leave it to him and he would surprise us and that was what we did. From start to finish everything was delicious. The fresh bread with olive oil and spices was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. He brought a charcuterie board with the most fresh and delicious cheeses and meats and olives/ veggies. Then the tomato risotto was so good but we didn't finish it all only to leave space for more because we knew more was coming. He brought out the main dish which was included tasty octopus, fish, the best clams ever, and perfectly cooked rib eye steaks. We finished the night with some fresh Gelato i chose pistachio and pineapple cheesecake and my husband chose chocolate. We even purchased a bottle of wine. Honestly everything was exquisite and the service was superb. We're definitely coming back. I even heard the neighboring couple tell him that they had the best lasagna they had ever tasted so it wasn't just us that were happy and having a great night. I can't wait to try it oh and the pizza because it looked delicious. They had the piano playing which added some romance to the mood. We lived it! Strongly recommend it.

Came here with some friends, good ambience, nice waitress who was attentive and helpful. Dishes were beautifully plated with good flavors.

Wow! What a great place. The food is arguably the best in town. The pasta and pizza are wonderful. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. They aren't only a restaurant, but also a small store as well. You can purchase oils, sauces, pasta, meats, and much more. They have an event space too that is beautiful. I wish I had known of this place earlier. My wife and I will definitely be back. April 2022: still delicious.

Worst service ever! No bartender on a Saturday night and the wait staff was rude and inattentive. The place was not even busy yet we waited for 20 minutes before they ever took our orders. Then, after 1 hour, they finally started bringing our dishes. After that long wait, the waiter informed one of our guests that they were out of veal. What? You didn’t know this an hour ago so she could order something else?! That was inexcusable! The two different steaks they offer were awful! One was so rubbery you could barely chew it and the other was mostly big chunks of fat and gristle. We ordered Angus steak not rubbery fat and gristle! Not one time during this fiasco of a night did a manager or anyone in charge stop by our table to check on us or apologize. We had to track down our waiter for the checks. He brought them but just set them down in a stack and walked off. Rude! Then, he returned with our paid checks and set them all down and walked away. Not a Thank you or anything was said either time. Rude again! It’s not our fault if you’re understaffed. It does not give you an excuse to be rude. We were nothing but polite guests even with the poor service.

Absolutely amazing!!! I came to Nundini's @ 10 years ago and would get their most delicious caprese sandwiches. The place has grown since then with a beautiful interior. There is an ample dining room, great private dining rooms to rent for events, a small Italian market with the best coffee (Lavazza), a deli case with classic Italian meats and cheeses and gelato. However, most importantly, the food is still amazing. We went simple and got the fettuccini Alla pana and the margarita pizza. The noodles tasted fresh and the sauce was light. There pizza was delicious too. If you are looking for classic and amazing Italian food with a great ambiance, then this is the place. The service for pick up was perfection. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

My daughter and i stopped by here today and we were very impressed. They have a great wine selection, the food was perfect and the waiters were professional and polite. The decor was great and the restaurant was clean. Don't forget to get some gelato on your way out.

They have excellent service, and the wine selection is lovely. However the food was just ok to me. Everything we ordered seemed over cooked, especially the veal, parts of it were just burnt breading of a very thin cutlet. They were also out of risotto, which I was looking forward to trying, maybe next time.

Our first visit an unfortunately the service was so disappointing , our server Leigh was either totally distracted or had no clue. We arrived at 7:00 PM and seated promptly our waitress never came by with the exception to ask what we wanted to drink, we finally flagged another waitress to place our order. We eventually asked one of the other staff if we could have some bread, In the meantime our water ran out and again still no waitress and had to ask for refills. We received our meals and very much enjoyed the food, again after delivering the food we never saw her again had to ask for togo boxed from the trainee. Again no appearance from Leigh to offer desserts which we saw upon arrival and looked really good, she just brought the check. We paid, we did tip but only 15% when our usual is 20% or more, upon leaving we discovered that gelato was an offering next to the bar which was very good and the service there was nice. To bad that we experienced such poor service as we won’t be suggesting this our friends, maybe we’ll just do takeout. BTW, the restaurant was not overcrowded so there was absolutely no reason for poor service just a shear lack of enthusiasm.

Staff were all friendly and extremely helpful with identifying the perfect meal for myself and my family. Not a crowded or claustrophobic place, but instead you can breathe and take in the accouterments and strong Italian theme. Every item we've had was exquisite except one time where chicken was overcooked, but the chef himself came out and fixed the problem immediately. Also, try the Gelato. To die for.

BEWARE CLEANING FLUID ODORS The menu seems authentic Italian, including a number of specialties not seen often here - A+. The food was good. However, the smell of cleaning fluids ruined the meal for me - first when a table next to us was cleaned with a solution containing bleach, and then ongoing when either cleaning fluids were spritzed into the air (a Covid-related initiative) along with air fresheners. It felt like a men’s restroom trying to cover up the smell of urinals. The chef deserved better than that competition! Please know that I do not have any allergies nor have I ever focused on cleaning fluids in a restaurant review before!

We've been going to Nundini since they started table service. Was always our go to place for Italian food. We had only been once in 2021 and the food was still as I always remembered. Last visit was very disappointing. Too much thick sauce on pizza, calamari no longer small rings and changed to the huge variety that was cut into chunks (if you love fried calamari you'll understand the disappointment) and one member of our party asked for medium lamb chops but got well done. Really hoping this was a fluke night with kitchen staff turnover. I'll still give it another try because I remember how consistently good the food was.

Enjoyed dinner as Chef Timothy prepared a custom menu item of piccata veal with a side of pasta. Finished dinner with pistachio gelato & an expresso.

Had the special of the day, lobster with a spicy tomato linguine 10/10. Service was quick and attentive and they have a great wine selection. for dessert we had some of the cookies from Bittersweet and wow! Best cookies in Houston no doubt. Overall a 10/10 dining experience we will definitely be returning. Also the free bread with the oil is always nice.

We had lunch here today and it was fantastic. The service was wonderful and the restaurant is a beautiful place. I will definitely tell my friends about it. We’ll be back!
