Does anybody know anything about Pino's Restaurant in Houston?

Question

I used to live in Houston and move to Corpus Christi Texas; and the one thing that I used to look forward was to going to eat at Pino's restaurant. The restaurant was so pleasant and have a really delicious food. Marvid Zingler was right; we started going there because of him. I have family from Italy and I know what home made Italian sauce taste like and Pino's sure had it. I wish that the Pino's family would make up their mind and open a location. The Pino family is driving me crazy!!!!!

Answer 1

Pino's is now closed. I think it closed around 2002.  I think the story is that they had an offer they couldn't refuse for that corner on Westheimer. But I also remember that they had another piece of property and were going to reopen.  It was Marvin Zindler's favorite.  I remember seeing him there one time at lunch.  The food was very delicious.

Answer 2

My husband (soon to be ex) asked me to marry him in December 1996 at Pino's.  It disappeared after that about 2 years later is my guess.  It has be demolished.  As far as a new restaurant goes, I haven't seen anything.  And I would have noticed.

Fred's Italian Corner at Greenbriar and Holcombe is a nice little family restaurant.  Might try that...
