This slice of Italy is served up in a romantic ambiance. The beauty of this place is found in its dishes. One favorite, and a perfect example of Italian art, is the Wild Mushroom & Sage Ravioli. They also offer a Proscuitto Wrapped Prime Filet Mignon served with a rich flavor that is very pleasing to your taste buds. Whomever you decide to entertain here will not be disappointed.

THE FISH
309 Gray Street, Houston, TX 77019
The locals call it Fish in Midtown. The tables are all covered in black table cloths and red lights provide a unique ambience. There are plenty of booths to add a cozy feel. The service is excellent at the bar and table. Most favored Sushi is what ever is in season. The Sushi is flavorful. You can’t go wrong with anything here. The finger foods are excellent. Some favorites include spicy scallops, cucumber rolls, and fresh water eel. They have a great bar with lots of fun people. An oversized fish aquarium is the focal point. This is a Hollywood style Sushi stop that adds a classy touch to the already beautiful Midtown.

Niko Niko’s is a Greek & American Café that has continued to grow strong since 1977. It’s the hottest spot for a quick bite of delicious Greek cuisine. Don’t worry if there’s a line, because it moves very fast. Dolmades, a real favorite, are Grape leaves stuffed with ground beef & rice topped with a lemon sauce and served with a Greek salad piled high with Feta cheese. Energetic staff makes this place fun and exciting. Niko’s has expanded since it first opened its doors; and while it grows, so does the following. If you’re cool or think you are, then you know of Niko Niko’s. Outdoor dining is available. No reservation needed.

It’s where the president eats-is what they tell me. In fact there is The Bush Plate, if it is fit for the Texas royal family, its fit for us. They have family size portions available for order. The best Root beer served here is a special blend of Otto’s own creation. This location is also open for breakfast at 7:00, but no barbeque until 10:30. The staff is friendly and everything is fresh.

For basketball fans you know the place. It is owned by Yao Ming’s family, the best basketball player ever from China and who just happens to play for the Houston Rockets. Mr. & Mrs. Yao call Houston home and by showing their love for our great state they have opened a fabulous restaurant. Inviting, beautiful, and comfortable is the only way to describe this place. Try the Phoenix Wings and the Moo Goo Gai Pan; it was a slam dunk with the tasty sauces. The bar area is a hot spot for the beautiful people. Reservations are recommended.
