A new Italian spot has debuted in the neighborhood. The new addition to Victory Park, called Mio Nonno, is located at 2588 N. Houston St. This is the third Texas location for Mio Nonno, which first opened its doors in Allen in 2014. This one is located directly across from the American Airlines Center.

Mio Nonno serves traditional Italian fare, such as antipasto, lasagna, pizza, gnocchi and risotto. Everything is made from scratch, including the desserts. Look for dishes like the Vongole with linguine pasta, clams, roasted garlic, oven-roasted tomatoes and clam juice; or the Paesano with rigatoni pasta, grilled chicken, mushrooms, broccoli rabe, hot cherry peppers, aglio olio and ricotta salata. (See the full menu here.)

With a four-star rating out of nine reviews on Yelp so far, the new addition has made a promising start.

Susan M., who was among the first to review it on Dec. 17, wrote, "Amazing service and really good food. All the staff are super friendly and the place is decorated very cutely. Obsessed with the Russian chicken dish, as it had the perfect amount of spice. The arugula salad with the goat cheese is amazing as well."

Bret G. said, "Excellent calamari, Caesar salad and mushroom pizza. Great spot before the hockey game. [Our waiter] gave us great service and the food was great!"

Swing on by to take a peek for yourself: Mio Nonno is open from 11 a.m.–9 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday, and 11 a.m.–10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. (It's closed on Monday.)
