Fine Italian about covers it – Excellent service! Waiters are always predicting your needs and you feel like they know just how you like things the very first time you dine at the restaurant. The food spectacular, their signature lobster fra diavolo is excellent. The lamb shank, grilled salmon, and penne with eggplant are also some of my favorites. The wine list is first-rate as well. Overall 5 star restaurant!! And the live music is always appreciated!

Good food, Bad waiter – I have been to other of Nino’s restaurants and it is a pleasure to say that the First Avenue branch lives up to their high standards. The piano player was excellent and everyone must try Nino’s osso boco or their branzino grille. If this is finished with a double expresso and a slice of chocolate mousse cake, then you have indeed had a very fine meal Unfortunately, we managed to get a waiter who was not up to snuff. We should have realized something was amiss, when he confused or forgot the specials o... read more

Not worth it – This restaurant has lost it's charm. I'm not sure who's doing the cooking, but the food is not worth the price you pay. Not a restaurant I would recommend.

Free $50 Certificates on the cw! – With the CW's $50 free gift certificates, Nino's is even better! If you go to cw11 com/diningpix, you can buy two $50 certificates for $50. Not to mention that the food here is incredible! Even Regis Philbin eats here! And it is great when it is made more affordable by Dining PIX!

Rip Off – Went last week during restaurant week. Was shocked when we received the bill...no longer serve "free water" which is what they advertise, the house red wine was $14 a glass, and a refill on a cup of coffee was additional. The water and wine, we didn't argue but a second cup of coffee we did. The manager took the coffees off the bill-but what a disgrace! I will never go back and neither will my friends.

Bellisimo – Wonderful high-end authentic italian restaurant. Best italian in th city. Atmopshere is great, and piano players are enjoyable.

Good Food, Poor Service, Outdated and "Cheesy" – I took my girlfriend here for our anniversary on a week night.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 The place setting was very outdated, it felt as if we were sitting to a flash back of a 1970's italian eatery.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).
