Fast Break—Nino’s

Tucked away in the Bluebonnet Village shopping center across from Perkins Rowe sits Nino’s Italian Restaurant (Map it!). From the outside, the restaurant looks nondescript, but the food inside is anything but. Opt for the lunch special that includes a smaller portioned entrée and salad for under $12. The summer citrus salad is perfectly refreshing, with baby spinach and pine nuts, drizzled with citrus vinaigrette. For the entree, the tomato and Brie pasta combines the flavors of small ripe tomatoes and rich Brie to produce a dish that’s as tasty as it is aromatic.
