History restored to create a distinctive, chic venue for your next event. Craft your moment here at The Podium. Originally an old lumber barn, the Podium at Porsche River Oaks has been fully renovated and refurbished as a unique event space. The space is perfect for a variety of gatherings like, birthdays, meetings, corporate happy hours, nonprofit events, and more. This prominent and dignified lumber barn needed to be restored for a new purpose. The vision was to create a space where neighbors could pick up a latte on the way to work, stay for a few hours online, or stop by for a craft cocktail in the afternoon. The building also serves as a bespoke venue, specially designed to suit a variety of events. The Podium is partnered with a food and beverage team to bring the best experience to our guests. We are regularly open as an upscale coffee house and bar and are available for private event rentals.

Our family welcomes you to indulge yourself in our warm hospitality and impressive cuisine that continues to make us a culinary destination. Our expansive wine list boasts many bottles from different regions in Italy and California. Experience the unique richness of our Tuscan Village whether choosing to dine indoors, on one of our beautiful patios, relaxing with cocktails and live music. We welcome large parties and provide personalized rooms for any occasion. The Vincent Mandola Family, for over 38 years, has been proud to share authentic Italian recipes passed down from generations. Vincent and Mary Mandola, childhood sweethearts, began their dream with the opening of Nino’s Restaurant in 1977. This exciting story was inspired by family, determination and a vision. One small quaint restaurant grew into a city block of Tuscan and Sicilian inspired venues. Their two daughters, Vinceanne and Dana joined the empire in the early 90’s, fresh out of college. They worked alongside their parents and helped to continue the dream. For the love of food, culture, family and friends this helped them thrive and succeed in the growth of Nino’s, Vincent’s, Grappino di Nino, La Gelateria and Pronto Cucinino. Through their travels, the family has been inspired to bring Houston the tasteful foods and wines of Italy. The relationships they have formed with pasta and olive oil producers, well known wine makers have influenced today’s menus. Nino’s, Vincent’s, La Gelateria, Grappino di Nino and Pronto Cucinino are still owned and operated by the Vincent Mandola Family. Our family welcomes you to enjoy our original family recipes, genuine Italian ambiance and our spirited, sincere, hospitality.
