This is a cozy place to enjoy an authentic coffee drink, like what you’d find in Italy. There are plenty of,lattes to,choose from (hot and iced). The prices are good, and there are just enough food, desert and sorbets on the menu, and in the display case to satisfy most people’s hunger or cravings. food items on the menu as well.The background noise inside can make conversation a little challenging but it’s not constant.There is also outside seating and WiFi available.

A fancy cozy place in the Rice Village area, nice and spacious with indoor and outdoor seating and lots to offer. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I got the white chocolate mocha and Almond muffin to keep it simple and it was good. My friends on the other hand went a bit fancy and ordered the espresso Nocciolato which was less of coffee and more of Nutella, - it was sweet! we tried a lot of other sweets too and they were good. They have a lot of items their list and they describe everything that you dont understand. Overall a bit expensive but a cool place to hangout with friends.

Great location and good coffee, although the lemon cake was a tad dry. A lovely little cafe.

I ordered espresso and a latte. The latte was proper, tastes amazing, proper micro-foam, was at the optimal temp.The espresso shot was properly pulled, but I think the beans used for both espresso and latte were dark roast? not sure.I personally think espresso could benefit from vienna or medium roasts where the flavor of the beans could shine, when not doused with additives. So it would be ideal to keep separate, an exotically flavored, non-dark beans for espresso, but considering that its hard to find a properly pulled shot, they get 5 stars I suppose...

Im a lover dark chocolate gelato. So I called in to make sure they have the flavor before take a drive up there. The lady said they have it. I was disappointed when I got there. Its just a chocolate. Workers should know the difference between chocolate and dark chocolate. This location has a very limited flavors. 3 stars only for the gelato part of menu. For more flavors go to Buffalo speedway location.

If youre looking for a coffee shop thats like a slice of Italy here in Houston, then look no further. They have great espresso and amazing speciality drinks. My favorite is the espresso al nocciolato which has Nutella in it and is very much a delight!

Honestly I will never dine or get a coffee or anything from this establishment. I was doing a Favor order for this company and one of the employees was extremely rude. I asked did someone have a Favor from here and from jump was getting an attitude and talking to me crazy for asking a simple question. Was not welcoming at all and just made me feel like trash for doing a favor for them. Extremely rude. Didn’t ask if I needed help or anything.

Was very underwhelmed, It has an overall high review score so I was confident in trying it out.Coffee was ok, nothing remarkable for the price. Pastries were dry and flavorless, definitely not worth it.

This charming cafe has traditional Italian beverages - espresso, sodas, limoncello, wines - and Italian desserts, as well as gelato. Excellent latte! The perfect temperature and flavor. As well the service was excellent.

This place needs renovation or at least some deep clean up.I was there 6 months ago and I have noticed a significant drop in quality of the location. It looks like no one is doing maintenance, and cleaning is very poor. I really hope they will improve because the staff is nice and the products are awesome.

We go there so often and usually very satisfied with service and everything, today I had a very bad experience with their staff there . I asked the lady for plastic cup to pure water for my sister’s dog, with an attitude she gave me an empty ice cream cup and she told me “ you are supposed to bring your own cup, this cup cost lots of money for us”.... I am so disappointed

First, parking here is a death trap that forces you to pay just to not get towed. second, the store is filthy and there isn’t even any customers, employees are just on their phones. third, the coffee here is abysmal, don’t bother getting water to wash it down either because the water cups wreak of soap.

This is a real coffee shop. Hand made espresso! The breakfast and lunch menus are small but the food is good. The service is excellent. They serve beer and wine. Nice modern atmosphere. Paninis are excellent and always a good atmosphere! I’m from Italy and this to me is Italy in Houston!

Best coffee I’ve had so far. I didn’t get the name of the woman who helped me out today, but she was the best. She was very polite, patient and friendly.I don’t think I’ll ever go to another caffe besides this one.The way this place serves the coffee is at the perfect temperature, not boiling hot. I’m so happy with this place, and will sure be a frequent customer.

Found this place when I worked in the area and now get up extra early to make it here when I am scheduled in the area. Best coffee I have found around Houston and most of their food is excellent, expect slightly higher prices than other cafes for this reason. Overall a classy place for classy people if you are into that.

Review №85

The coffee here is really good. We got a cappuccino and a caramel macchiato and both were very flavorful! We also got the almond cones and the cream filling was very light and fresh. The cone itself is very puffy and buttery and light! I highly recommend this place! Parking on the street so depends on how busy the time of the day is.

The parking around here is a bit of a pain, but certainly fine if you can find one near the cafe - usually 2 hour free parking. Anyway, I came here to meet someone and it was a pretty nice place to chat. Other than that, I had the iced mango tea and it was quite good. It was just mango syrup and tea that they brewed. Nothing too crazy.

Review №88

Tonight was my first time going to this place. I was very pleased by the phenomenal staff!! Haven’t come across staff this wonderful and helpful in a long time!! Blew me away! Also the food was pretty good as well! The only down fall was parking. It took us a while to figure out we could park on the side of the street even after the time allowed to park on that particular street. I could definitely see parking being nonexistent on weekends. Also, we could not park in the parking garage today.

Cannolis and desserts are excellent. Coffee? Not so great. Ambiance is quaint but not a place that is particularly comfortable. In general, a cute place to go for desserts, not a place I would personally want to go for a study session.

Im still exploring, but so far for me Fellini makes the best cappuccino in town. This location is comfortably air-conditioned with a nook and some tables. It was quiet enough and their food options are great for a cafe: quiches, sandwiches, etc. and Italian baked goods and desserts. We only went for the cappuccinos, but for sure we will be coming back to try the quiche and sweets, too.

Very lovely place for coffee and/or wine. The manager, Sara, is amazing and leads well with excellent customer service! The coffee tasted delicious as did the 3 different wines I tasted.

I have walked by this shop several times while exploring Rice Village. Each time, I was always enticed to come inside by the large, lovely display case full of gourmet desserts. I finally had the chance to try it. Upon closer inspection from inside the restaurant I was able to see that while they boast a huge variety and quantity of treats, I felt they looked a bit old. I ordered one of the cannoli style desserts and it was just okay. The ambiance is good and the salespeople were nice.

Review №99

They say you dont know what you got until its gone... My husband and I used to live in the apartments above Fellini in Rice Village, but we moved late last year across town. The thing I miss the most about living in that area - FELLINI BY FAR! It is the BEST coffee Ive had in Houston (and Ive lived here for 26 years of my life). Every time were in that area of town I have to go. Get your coffee here. You wont be disappointed!

This place is like a breath of fresh air - refreshing and pleasant. Definitely a hidden gem fit for VIP out-of-towners looking for a taste of the city. Its quaint, urban, and classy, all at the same time. Menu is standard with a few showstoppers (if you go looking).
