We (The Murray movie group.(We go to a movie and dinner once a week.) We had dinner at Nino's this evening. We have been there many times, and it is in our regular rotation. This evening was another positive experience. The restaurant was busy, but our wait person was attentive and engaging. We had to wait a bit before ordering and between courses, but we attributed that to the staff/customer load, rather than the level of service. Two people at our table had the salmon, which was said to be good as they had it previously. I had the crab farfatelle (sorry, but I can't remember the proper name). It was really good! And the presentation was excellent. They have redone the menu, and I want to try other items to see what else has improved. We were in the "patio room" which was a bit noisy this evening. Normally it's more quiet. Perhaps noise insulation in the ceiling? Could just be the number of people. We love this place and will keep it in our rotation .

Ninos is a classic gem! We have loved coming here for years! Absolutely delicious and authentic

Party of 10 had dinner at Nino's for my brother's birthday on 12.17.24. Everything from Reservation accommodations to appetizers to dinner then a surprising birthday dessert was excellent. Will definitely attend again.

We live close by; we visited Nino's many years ago. We left with a good opinion. We decided to go back, and we were very impressed. The Restaurant added a section, and it was a very nice addition. There is a good seating option and nice lighting overall. We had half portions of our order, which was a welcome treat. The owners can stop by and introduce themselves, which is always nice. We welcome the opportunity to have traditional Italian food nearby. We will definitely return.

Service was a little slow, we were seated 40 minutes after our reservation, but we sat at the bar and had chips and a drink before being seated. What drew me originally to this place was the half servings of pasta. Between my date and I, we had three pastas and one salad. It was the perfect amount of food. Will be back to give them another shot, I think it may have just been an off night. No one was rude or anything so I am willing to give a little :)

Excellent meal I had the view in my wife had the salmon. We went there to celebrate her birthday. We will definitely be back.Excellent service the waiter was very helpful.

Away for a work trip. This place was a recommendation from a fellow traveler. Interesting place. You enter into what seems to be a new, somewhat modern restaurant area. We were then escorted around the corner to what can only be described as a very old, very small dining room. Table are close together and the AC blew on our heads the entire time. We started with a bottle of wine and calamari, both of which were nice. One of our party then ordered the special which was pasta with a pink sauce and salmon. He said it was delicious. Another had chicken parm, which she seemed to enjoy. I don't like to eat veal for moral reasons mostly. However when I saw the veal with Gorgonzola I let that fly out the window. The veal was delicious, it came with a Gorgonzola gravy with mushrooms and onion. Several thin cutlets. I opted for a side of pasta in lieu of vegetables. We skipped dessert and decided on wine instead. The restrooms leave something to be desired.

Our family & extended family have dined here for decades . Such a wonderful family owned restaurant. Every dish I've ordered has always been spot on . The service is over the top . Mark has been our server for ages . Old school desert carts too! This Atlanta institution deserves a visit !

I have been searching for an Italian restaurant that reminds me of home (queens, NY). I have finally found a place in ninos. I've been a couple times now - sitting at the bar (their new bar is beautiful). I have gotten drinks, Caesar salad, chicken parm, and penne vodka. The food is delicious. I feel like it is the only chicken parm I've found in Atlanta actually made right. The staff is wonderful - friendly, attentive, helpful. This will be a regular spot for me.
