Make your wedding reception a memorable and extraordinary occasion by hosting it at the historic Julia Ideson Building of the Houston Public Library! The historic Julia Ideson Building, located in the heart of the city, is distinguished by its distinctive and elegant Spanish architecture, which stands out among the glass contemporary buildings that surround it. As you walk through the doors of this 1926 structure, you are transported back in time to a different Houston. Walking through the building's reflective Spanish-brick floors, up the grand staircase, through the Tudor Gallery surrounded by large marble pillars, through the Reading Room with its original wooden fixtures, through a one-of-a-kind exhibit room showcasing some of the Library's archival collection, and then looking up at the breathtakingly gold and vibrantly colored wood flowers on the ceiling, you can sense the sophisticated grandeur and history of the building. The Julia Ideson Building, with its exceptional romantic spaces and corridors with high-arched windows, as well as its artwork, makes it the ideal destination setting for weddings and other special occasions. Create your own personal moment in history in this building, and it will be something you remember for the rest of your life.

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.
