Romantic Italian... – Tried this place out last night and I had a terrific time. Dim lighting makes it romantic and they even have a live singer singing love songs all night long...just lovely! For appetizers I had their baked clams, and imported buffalo mozarella. For entree I had their lobster with fettucine. It was a 4lb lobster fresh from the tank. For dessert I had their chocolate mousse cake which melted in my mouth. Everything was tasty and wonderful. I was so stuffed I couldn't even touch the complimentary fruits the... read more
Fixed menu – We went to Nino's for Valentines day dinner. There was a fixed menu. The options were scarce, and there were no italian options to speak of. The "scallops" in my appetizer were in fact not scallops but skate, the linguini was like cardboard. My chicken was overcooked, dry and flavorless and my tiramasu was stale. We wound up spending over 200 for a bad meal. I would never go back.
User review by yrcritic – Overpriced commercial italian food. When the phrase "the water is free" is etched into your water glass - you know there will be nothing authentic about your meal. The food is fresh, but not impressive and the waiters try way to hard to fake italian accents. Although we left a generous tip (above double the tax) the waiter made a scene as we were leaving the restaurant, forcing to leave more. The restaurant is conducive to conversation, but you won't be talking about the food since its just regular ... read more
An Outstanding Night To Remember – I recently had a 50th Wedding Anniversary Party for my parents at Nino's. The restaurant was very accomodating with a specially designed menu and even made the desert cake. All the extras at the end of the meal were overwhelming. The abundance of food, wine, and service were first rate and I couldn't thank Nino himself and his staff for making it a memorable evening!!!
Editorial Review – Special-occasion Italian restaurant with lively cocktail lounge serves classic dishes amid fresh floral arrangements and live nightly piano entertainment.
Worth the trip – I have ate here on multiple occasions and its always very warm, and the service is very prompt...The mussels in marinara are a must, and the caesar salad is also very good....if you have any money left over try the bananna desert
Not worth it – We went during restaurant week for lunch and I was disappointed. The food was good, but nothing better than I've had at other Italian places on the UES (Luca, Sotto Cinque). Our waiter snubbed us when we asked if there was dessert (there wasn't), and my meal would have been the same price had it not been restaurant week. Better value, same food elsewhere.
GREAT PLACE – This is one of the best all around places to eat in New York. The food is about as good as you get and can compare with any Italian place in the City. The prices at Ninos are a bit high, but you end up leaving with a feeling that you got your money's worth everytime. Service is great and the team of waitstaff make your meal enjoyable. Great experience that is highly recomended.
Nino's – Crowded and loud. Upon entering the restaurant my thoughts were "Ugh, this place is tacky and ugly." We were seated and were practically on top of the other tables. My mood started to change when the food arrived as it was very good. Also the service is very good and very attentive. The biggest problem i have is the room, at these prices(top-end) there are many other nicer italian restaurants on the upper east side(Primola, Campagnola, Lusardi's, Elio's to name a few).
