Good Food, Poor Service, Outdated and "Cheesy" – I took my girlfriend here for our anniversary on a week night. Surprisingly busy, prompt seating and warm greeting at the door. The place setting was very outdated, it felt as if we were sitting to a flash back of a 1970's italian eatery. The uniforms of the all male wait staff was vest and bow tie, the decor of the restaurant is in dire need of an updating, and there was a generally old crowd of what appeared to be regulars (being greeted all with hand shakes and kisses). The... read more

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!!!

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
