Wow! This was an amazing experience! We went to celebrate my husbands birthday and from the moment we arrived we felt so welcomed and were given the best service. The food was absolutely amazing. The wine list was great. They even corked the bottle for us that we could take home. I highly recommend Nino’s. We can not wait to return!
Ninos was the perfect place for a romantic Italian dinner! The intimate environment, warm decor and impeccable service all made the experience inviting from the beginning. However the food was the star of the evening! From the opening bruschetta to the mussels and finally with the entree everything was amazing. Would highly recommend for an authentic and welcoming Italian dinner.
Food was fantastic. Maitre D was superb. The waitress i think was newer. And she made a few mistakes. But were quickly corrected by another waiter.
Quaint little restaurant excellent service the food was delicious.
Had a delicious birthday dinner here. We sat on the patio and it was so nice. Great service. Sort of a garden payio feel without the cold! Lots of glass, curtains, twinkle lights.Started with some fresh bread and butter and a Caesar salad...really tasty! Then I had the vodka sauce with prosciutto pasta...really tasty! Loved it. We finished with the chocolate mousse pie. It was fabulous! Light and creamy. Really nice finish to the evening!
Great eating experience, service and staff.A masterpiece of flavors, everything was superb!
Fantastic food, personal service, great atmosphere. If you love Italian food, go to Ninos. If you are on the fence about Italian food, go to Ninos. If youve never had good Italian food, go to Ninos. This is a great place no matter what your tastes are.
Customer Service Great....food delicious. Had lamb Ragu def worthUpdate - the roads are a little crazy to get there you will have to come from piedmont or one of the side neighborhoods streets.I went there recently for a casual business meeting and the customer service was again amazing. This time got to sit in the patio area. Very nice atmosphere. All the pasta is made in house. So the sauce really absorbs in the pasta.
The grilled Ceasar and spaghetti were excellent, definitely going back.
Extremely disappointed with my service & food. We waited a long time before warm not hot food was bought to the table . Thanksgiving waitstaff was rude and dismissive and the manager was worse. After sending my food back I was still charged full price . Even after I sent my food back no one ever came over to inquire as to why , even though the manager was at the table across from us having dinner.
Friendly bartender, nice staff and fresh, good food. The bread was warm and fresh, the octopus was delicious, the gnocchi and the shrimp was very good. Excellent pasta and seafood. I also enjoyed the house Cabernet.
The food, the service, the waiter, the place excellent 👌👍
Beyond my surprise Mothers day expectations. Food was delicious, service outstanding! Bravo!
Alessandra,, her husband Micah and the entire Ninos crew could not have been more accomdating and eaiser to work with while planning a 50 person private event for our clients. We were able to have the entire front room for our guest, including bar set up. The food was wonderfaul and everything flowed like clockwork, and all of our guest left happy. Love doing business with family run local businesses!
One of the best Italian restaurant Ive been, everything was excellent, service, food and atmosphere!
Always love going here when visiting Atlanta friends. Authentic Italian served in a nice cozy atmosphere.
Very fun old school atmosphere. Friendly staff. They treated our party like we were very important when we were not. I would definitely go back.
This place has really good food. We should be back again to try more dishes
Ate here with family. Nice atmosphere, food eas delicious!!Would definitely eat here again.
I’ve been there twice so far. The service has been excellent. Very efficient, friendly and authentic. The ambiance is great. The food is delicious. I’ve been trying to search for a good Italian restaurant for years in Atlanta since I moved. I am very happy that this place did not disappoint. Great place. Will come back more often.
This place got me lost for words Phil took good care of us hes awesome recommend me some things on the menu went with it food is funnamanel hands down 🔥🔥🔥 appetizer were awesome also you gotta try it here parking is difficult but its all worth I so recommend this place I will so come back Im so hoocked love it so romantic I had the lasagna my husband had the spaghetti with ome meatball appetizer garlic fries had wine roseay beer paroni 🔥🔥❤❤❤
Loved the food but they were really busy so the service was a little lacking. Food selection not that broad but what they do serve is wonderful. Nice ambience BUT... despite the 38 degree temps outside the air conditioning was running? And there is a huge duct blowing cold air right over our table of 10 people.had to repeatedly ask to turn it off. Nice wine selection and even had NA beer for the DD!
Ordered for pick up. Website redirected to some chow website. Overall order app and experience was easy with Apple Pay. Just fyi they require masks even just to pick up food. Staff was friendly as I called them when arrived due to not having a mask on me. (Fully Vax with booster shot)The food was fantastic I had the Scampi Alla Ninos. The shrimp where very nicely sized and cooked to perfection. The pasta and sauce was delicious and the the Caesar salad was pretty good. Cannot confirm this but it did seem like their own home made Caesar dressing.Overall happy and can’t wait to dine inside next time I’m around the area.
I’m not sure how this place has so many good reviews. The service is very slow. I was forgotten about multiple times. I asked for iced tea. I was given a glass of tea with no ice. When I asked if I could have another tea that has ice in it I was given a glass of ice with no tea. I’m not sure how this could be done so wrong even after I asked for it to be fixed. I wanted over 20 mins for them to take to my card. Completely ridiculous. Never will come back.
Very small, beautiful and intimate setting. It was like being in a time capsule. The food was ok.
The food and service was very good. The atmosphere was romantic but could be a little brighter in the dining room. Had to use my phones flashlight to read the menu.
The food was terrific and our waiter was phenomenal. We all had amazing salads, lasagna, a chicken with brown sauce, and bits of lamb with pasta. We were all thoroughly impressed. Our waiter was also phenomenal. He was a mature and distinguished gentleman, we assumed from Italy. 😊He was courteous, funny, helpful, and all around amazing. We had a great time at Nino’s.
Very average food with high prices. Not an authentic Italian place like they claim to be. Service not great either.
Worst restaurant ever, food is sub par, service sucks and way too expensive. Olive Garden is better
Worst dining experience ever and the food is overpriced. Ruth Chris pricing with McDonald level experience!! And fire the Black manager on the night shift!! How are you eating with a party that comes in latter than us and gets served first!!
My husband did not enjoy his chicken Parmigiano at all and the mussels had sand still in them.
Out for a business meal with our team, all in from various parts of the country. They kindly accommodated us in a semi-private dining area. Food was great. Service was excellent. We will definitely return!!
Not great. Very mediocre food which is expensive. Didn’t have a great experience for the money we spent.
Food was delicious, service was great!! I felt like I was in The Godfather 👌
The food was at best all right. I asked for no meat in my meal as Im vegetarian, they acknowledged that and then gave me food with meat in it anyway. After ordering our entrees, the waiter asked what salad we would like without us suggesting we even wanted one, prompting us to believe that it was included as it is at most restaurants. I am very angry and this place sould burn down
Celebrated our anniversary here. Ambiance was great. Service was spectacular. Food was amazing. We will most certainly be back in the future
Amazing food, beautiful restaurant! Our service was excellent and we will definitely be back soon!
Omg 🤩 the pasta was soooooo good 😌 🤤Everything was great from the incredible host to the server ❤️ service was fast and the food was delicious. Definitely coming back.
First, I must say Nino’s has curated an impeccable atmosphere. The space is inviting and intimate; the perfect place for an evening date or a dinner with close friends. The food was to die for ! We had the mussels and the antipasto supremo to start. If you are ever in the area, get those mussels ! That level of freshness and quality in the food is something that cannot be reproduced. Entrees were good portions and just as tasty. Our only issue seemed to be with the service. All the servers were very attentive and friendly except for ours. He seemed as if he couldn’t even be bothered to look in our direction. At the start of the dinner, we asked if they offered a cocktail menu, and he replied “No”, which is fine, as cocktail menus are common practice everywhere. No biggie. However, it seemed as if we constantly had to push and prod for suggestions and recommendations. When asked what cocktails he recommended, he simply shrugged and said, “ We can make anything.” Well what’s anything? That’s not very helpful to the average restaurant-goer or someone who’s not well versed in drinks and spirits. He did seem to warm up as the dinner progressed, and he recommended a wonderful French Martini . Overall, we didn’t let our initial hiccup sour our experience and we will definitely return to Nino’s.
The food is excellent, high quality ingredients. The service is excellent and customer service is a priority!
The service was great. My spaghetti was ok. My companion said their shrimp pasta was amazing.
This is a fantastic little Italian spot on Cheshire Bridge Road. The service is wonderful, just like the food. They are currently doing in-person dining, and they have done a great job limiting tables and taking precautions. I felt perfectly safe. I recommend getting the veal plate, though it is always worth listening to the specials, as they tempt me from time to time. Be sure to start with either the mussels or the baked clams too. Finally, be sure to enjoy a bottle of wine from their great selection. Be sure to ask for a seat on their porch if it is available. Check this place out!
This family owned restaurant serves true Italian dishes. The food reminded me of those I tasted while visiting Italy.
Hands down my favorite restaurant in Atlanta. I’ve lived in Los Angeles, NYC, Miami and this is the best Italian I’ve had.Staff is always great, easy parking and plenty of wine selection. Nothing overly fancy, just a great vibe all around.
The food was sub par and tasteless. I had not been here in years, but this used to be one of my favorite restaurants. I was so disappointed. The service was good, but everything else was terrible. The pasta did not taste fresh, and our meals tasted like they had been heated up. We wont be back.
This was my 3rd visit to Nino’s. The service and the food have been consistently outstanding. We were greeted with smiles although everyone had on a mask you could feel the energy. We had the Lamb Ragu and the Chilean Sea Bass. The food was the perfect temperature and the appearance was appetizing. I look forward to my next visit.
Just left. My husband brought me here for my birthday based off of the reviews. Horrible experience. The bottle of Moscato was cheap. It was obvious by the lack of flavor and bitter aftertaste. My meal was awful, the seafood was rubbery and without flavor. The best thing about tonight was the bread and that we are headed home so I can cook a real meal. Happy Birthday to me, huh?
Some of the best Italian I’ve ever had. I felt like I was in a New York establishment. Wonderful staff who attended to all our needs, amazing wine, great ambience, and the fried clams and the pasta dishes were to die for. The dessert (tiramisu, cannoli, and coconut cake) was even better. This is a perfect date night spot and I can’t wait to return. They had a nice screened patio area that I’d like to sit at next time.
Nice and cozy restaurant with excellent food and service!
My fiancé and I visited for our anniversary back in May, this was seriously the best place that we could’ve picked! We wanted something fancy, but not too fancy that we would feel out of place, and this couldn’t have been more perfect! The food was AMAZING, and the cheesecake was to die for, I wish I could’ve bought a whole one to bring back home with me! I would absolutely recommend someone to come here any time! Overall the experience couldn’t have been more perfect! 100/10!
The staff was attentive & patient. We were there a long timeIntimate, large booths in the back.My friend ordered something that is no longer on the menu but they were happy to accommodate. The food was old school classic Italian. I would come back.
I went here to celebrate my birthday. It was a very nice ambience and the food was delicious. The only thing that ruined my experience was our server. Granted, I did have a large party (and I appreciate them keeping us spaced out inside the establishment), but he was so rude. He kept dismissing my friends and I when we were just trying to make sure our orders were right. He never once asked us if we needed anything else, he would just disappear. They did bring me out a piece of cake, and I appreciated that. It was a sweet gesture. I would go back for the food and view, but the service was subpar.
I was very impressed with this hidden treasure! Ninos is a intimate and very friendly establishment. Very good menu with tasteful and unique options for your palate. Wine menu options I enjoyed and our waiter made me feel like I stepped into little Italy. I will definitely visit again.
Absolute disappointment. We are visiting from out of town and chose this establishment based on reviews. I called ahead several times with no answer trying to find out if it was an appropriate place to bring my family to eat and celebrate a birthday. We ordered simple food, due to my extreme food allergies. I was very specific with our server that I wanted fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and my daughter ordered the exact same thing. The server brings our food, chicken Alfredo with mushrooms. I’m allergic to mushrooms, thus the simple boring order. The server is standing at our table putting cheese on other plates WATCHING me trying to pick the mushrooms out with disgust. He walked away without saying a word. BOTH Alfredo orders had mushrooms randomly added when we were extremely specific with our order. After unsuccessfully trying to pick the mushrooms out and realizing I was in danger if I ate it, I called another server (we saw ours twice throughout our meal) and told him I could not eat it. He took it away and I was eventually brought another plate with only noodles and sauce.At this point, my family has finished eating and went to the car to wait. I asked for the check and paid it without looking at it due to my extreme frustration with the terrible server, the bad service and bad food. Imagine my surprise to find out they charged me for the chicken Alfredo I never got!!!!!!!!!!! I was more upset at that then being charged full price for a kids portion.Bottom line-worst service I’ve ever received! What kind of server looks at a customer picking food out and WALKS AWAY instead of inquiring if there was a problem. He 100% saw it-I saw him ROLL HIS EYES. I cannot help a food allergy and I will never eat at this establishment again on my travels!
Excellent from appetizers to dessert.
This place has authentic Italian food. We tried the shrimp spinach pasta and chicken parm - they were so good we literally wiped our plates out! The ambience is super classy and romantic, a must try!
Lots of average Italian around Atlanta. This is not one of those places. Great food, great service. Really enjoyed all aspects of the meal.
Delicious and cozy! The layers of flavor and quality of ingredients was impressive! Our new favorite Italian restaurant!
An amazing restaurant with amazing staff. Silvio made sure we were taken care of, provided friendly conversation, and made us feel like we were in the right place. The food was also incredible! Everything is fresh and homemade. A wonderful feeling and perfect way to spend our evening meal.
Good pasta.
Thanks for a great birthday dinner! Ill be back when in the area...
I don’t understand how this restaurant has so many great reviews, perhaps we went on a bad night. During our visit, the server (tall, slender, older, gray haired gentleman) was so unfriendly. As a server, I assumed it was because he was busy, but he remained so curt and distant the entire time even when there were only a few people in the restaurant. Moreover, I ordered the escargot which was ok, my boyfriend ordered the salmon which was dry and salty and my ribeye which I ordered medium well was rare lol. Again, I’ve worked in the service industry for 10 years now, and I couldn’t believe they actually served me that barely cooked ribeye. They literally just smothered it in gravy and mushrooms as to disguise the fact. I asked for it to be cooked up a bit, which they did, but it still wasn’t good. I resolved to just take it home for my boyfriend to salvage with eggs the next morning. The ambience is very nice which is the main reason we went, but the food is so subpar and the service left a lot to be desired. Again, we could have gone on a bad night, but I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.
We have eaten both inside and outside since Nino’s reopened during the pandemic, and as a health professional I was impressed with the safety precautions in place. Add the normally exquisite food and great service and we had an almost normal experience. I highly recommend you either “come back” or go ahead and try Nino’s. You won’t be sorry! Thanks Nino’s!!!
Host was extremely rude and the guest who were around could testify. I’ve been going to Ninos for a while and this was my first time experiencing disrespect. Extremely disappointed.
A brief meeting with perfection in every bite. brilliant. do get dessert- it is worth it.
Nino’s has always been a favorite spot of mine. But I really felt the need to leave this review after my dinner last night. The service here is impeccable, they are so accommodating and so kind. The food is incredible, as well as the ambiance of the place. They did an exceptional job following covid guidelines as well. If you haven’t stopped here yet, this is your sign! You won’t be disappointed
Great food and atmosphere! I went with a large party celebrating a special occasion. The servers were outstanding. All of us got our food together. The staff was so attentive but not intrusive. Definitely would recommend!
While it is a special dining experience price, I got mine covid-style. Everything was on point, but the side of spaghetti with marinara was so elegant (in a literal sense) that was the canon which allowed you to know that the kitchen had a great handle on Italian gourmet...
Wow! Was blown away with the taste and presentation of the food! Perfect temperature, perfect portions and flavor was amazing! Due to COVID-19 we had to do carryout and that was made easy by our server... cant remember the name but he was polite and respectful and stay 6 feet away when waiting for receipt... will be coming back!
The 3 stars is for service. Food was 5 stars but dessert dropped it to a 3. We started off great. Would have been nice to know anchovies on a Caesar are an up charge. Clam appetizer and seafood entree were great. The issue was our server just disappeared after we finished our appetizers. Never asked how the entrees were and if we needed anything. We were out of water for almost an hour. Hire more staff. The desserts were so disappointing. Cheesecake was dry and mousse cake was melted and runny. I got charged for a drink I didn’t even order. For a $200 check from a place that had good food I expected a little more.
Good quality Italian food for the price
Fun and great food. A lotta sistas go here too.
No one came to my originalBirthday dinner so I book two hours away I love Atl and this restaurant having my birthday dinner late made it awesome I will be coming back
This place was excellent!! Some of the best Italian food Ive had in a long, long time. Will definitely be going back
I dined 11/24/19 and everything was wonderful. I always have the same server and hospitality is the best. Food is authentic and the best in Atlanta. Perfect for dining with guest or dining alone. Thank you Nino’s. I’ll continue to send you business.
We love hanging out. Yesterday we arrived in this delicious place which friends told us about. We spent a delightful evening there with delicious dishes and an efficient stuff and a distinguished chief cook. We added this fine restaurant in our list and we will no doubt come back soon. We deeply recommend.
Soooo I love Italian food hence why I tried this place. The parking lot was empty which was a little skeptical to me but I gave it a try anyway.it was my first time here and will definitely be my last. Ill admit the bread with butter was great but then again its BREAD ! when is bread not good lol! My fiancé and I ordered the capresse which was delicious. The reason Im giving it a 2 star review was because of how bad the service was. The hostess was a sweet older gentlemen, but it was my server that gave me such a horrible experience. He introduced himself at the beginning which seemed fine but the more I started asking questions about the menu and what he recommended and suggested, he started to get irritated and just remained annoyed with us throughout our entire meal and had an attitude the whole time. His name was Manny and he just gave us that feeling that we didnt belong there, as if we were t good enough to eat there. It was extremely uncomfortable and I just wanted to leave ASAP and so did my fiancé. My fiancé enjoyed his lasagna, while I had to stop eating my tortiatella vodka cause I didnt like it. Overall with the appetizer and meals our check was $62, which wasnt bad at all but for the experience, service and my meal ... it just wasnt worth it. The only positive thing I can say is that he always made sure I had water.
Food was great and service awesome too.
Great food outstanding service, neighbor hood gym
Food isnt bad... But our service was not that great. There are much better places for Italian in the city. But also, nothing here is bad. The food is fresh, the place is clean, its likely not hard to get in here, so if youre looking for casual Italian without any fluff, then this place shouldnt be off your radar. If youre not in a hurry and dont have children, order bottles of wine for the table, and are ok with getting your food all at once, then give this place a shot. If Google let me, Id give it 3.5 out of 5.
As you know, my first impression of any restaurant is how they serve their martinis: no shallow couples for me. Perfect martinis for me(I was not driving).Celebrating a friends birthday, very attentive staff(trifle slow on refilling water). I usually opt for fish in most restaurants, the salmon on sauteed spinach was perfect!!!Definitely looking forward to dining there again.
I call this special restaurant once a month since I enjoy the ambiance that is unique to this restaurant. The team is extraordianrillyremarkably friendly and professional. The service is pretty rapid. Not to mention, the food they prepare is perfect. I ate there often and I was always happy. The expense is fair. I recommend this restaurant to to everybody.
I had the best lasagna of my life here. It tasted amazing even after 9 or 10 bites. Ive had lasagna many times in life, but this was better than my mothers. The minestrone soup was also tasty & my partner thoroughly enjoyed his dish as well.The atmosphere was very romantic with an option to sit near natural lighting & windows or nicely dim tables in the back. I will come back here again with friends.The prices were great also! Very comfy, hidden gem.
Recently went to Ninos for my 27th birthday dinner. This is hands down the best Italian food I have ever had state side. The chicken parmesan was out of this world. Wonderful service, with a stunning sense of pride behind everyone working there. Dont hesitate eating here for one second!! Genuinely cant wait to eat here again.
As Of Yet... This Is The BEST Italian Restaurant In The Metro Atlanta Area. Its a Very cozy, romantic setting. The service is amazing and the food is REAL AUTHENTIC ITALIAN. They bring fresh bruschetta on baguette to the table complimentary. Pastas made from scratch, they have veal, seafood, chicken and lamb selections. The wines they have in house pair Perfectly well and if youre not well versed, the knowledgeable staff are very helpful... Not A Cheap Date But You Wont Find Any Place That Does It Better
We love Ninos and have been going there for over 40 years. Tonight a group of 17 of us met to wish a friend good luck on experimental chemo at John Hopkins. What a great place to do this. The staff was excellent putting up with us moving around, hugging, standing and talking. Other tables joined us in prayer and hugs. The food was delicious as always, the wine excellent, and price reasonable. Always a home away from home!
They have a starter buffet where you can choose many different things for a reasonable price. We had primarily seafood but you can choose a number of different items - which include traditional Italian and Sicilian recipes.
My familys experience with with this place goes back to the late 60s. My great grandparents loved Ninos and I dont feel any different. My wife went for the first time last night and she loved it too. Do yourself a favor, eat at Ninos.
Old school classical italian must try for the service and food..iconic atlanta place well worth it
Perfect date night or special family gathering, Ive eaten here probably just under 10 times over the years. If you like mussels this is the place. If youre looking for cozy, dim, delicious dining and superb deserts. This is it.
I wasnt very hungry, so I just ordered a bowl of vegetarian ministrone soup. One other man from our party of 11 ordered it also. We both agreed it was the worst soup we had ever had! It was flat. The broth tasted like warm water.When I sent my soup back, the waiter asked if I wanted a salad or anything else from the menu. I asked if they had any kind of spinach salad. No. I asked if they sourced their ingredients from organic farms, he sad no, not exclusively. I declined ordering anything.From what the people with main entries said, their food was delicious, but the portions were not your typical generous amounts that resulted in lots of leftovers to take home for another meal.It was a pleasant place, with nice linen table clothes and napkins. Evidently they know how to cook and spice their main dishes. But IMO gourmet priced food must start with only the finest ingredients, and that means at least certified organic, and better, local as well, when in season.
I booked this restaurant for a group of 16 including colleagues and customers. It was an amazing evening. The atmosphere could best be described as enchanting. Andrea Bocelli and other favorite Italian classics were playing softly in the background. The food ( appetizers and entrées) were amazing and they had a large assortment of wines available. In addition, the wait staff was friendly prompt and helpful. I will be back!
Great old school Italian dining experience. The food is fresh and well presented. Waiters are knowledgeable. Good wine selection. Thoroughly enjoyable
Great food. Casual, comfortable atmosphere. Attentive wait staff. Cant believe this was our first time there. I had the sea bass special. Others had the lasagna and veal marsala. Appetizers - calamari, octopus salad. Wonderful chewy Italian bread. Weve gone past it so many times on Cheshire Bridge Road. Well be back!
Im not someone who ever asks for salt at restaurants. I saw people sitting by me putting salt on the pasta. I was judgy. Then my pasta arrived and well... very little flavor so I tried to fix with salt.I do know people flock here but I havent figure out what is the pull.
I have been coming for years... and there is a reason. The food is authentic and consistently good. I try to mix it up but love the veal piccata and the zuppe de pesce.
As usual, Fabulous Five Star Food Service atmosphere. Ninos never disappoint! Sorry but the cocktail not the normal dry martini vodka iconic. Feeling good heading into Caesar salad, the romain burst in your mouth, crisp and fresh followed by a classic creany slightly tart goodness that is the Ceasar Salad.For entree I chose the Seafood ravioli, tonights special, just delightful, the sauce is exquisite. Again and lastly let me state the service is impeccable.If youre considering just a nice meal alone you will be very comfortable and date night forget about it shes all yours.Enjoy Ninos one of Atlantas most treasured dining experiences.
Great food, great atmosphere and great service. Do yourself a favor and visit this wonderful gem on Cheshire bridge.
Everything was good. I liked the atmosphere and food. Would recommend this place for a casual date. Giving a star less because my veal and mushroom was too creamy.
Ninos was more than we ever dreamed it would be. We found it by mistake, decided to give it a try. Amazing, food, service and atmosphere. Our server, Robert was fantastic. We all tried something different, all to our liking. Better believe we will go back when we visit Atlanta again. 5 stars and more
Excellent food. I dont remember the name of what I had, but the waiter suggested it and it was delicious! My husband had the Spaghetti with homemade meatballs and it was wonderful as well. The meatballs were huge! Great service... our waiter was friendly and chatted with us everytime he came by. Definitely recommend.
Came here for their prepared Valentines Day menu. It was absolutely amazing. The service was great, and it was some of the best food weve ever had there.
A staple in Atlanta but not on the beaten path of high end restaurants. No where near high end, this is exceptional and authentic. Decor is dated, ala Nonnis house. Pasta is always spot on al dente and the saffron cream sauce to die for! Also, if youre looking for italian, STRONG coffee, look no further. Amore!
My heart beats for Nino’s pasta. If there’s a better spot in Atlanta, I’ve either never found it or can’t afford to try.
Thoroughly enjoyed everything about my experience.
Hidden gem on Chesire for family-grown Italian food. Portions are bigger than upscale places usually offer, and they offer vegetarian options. The waiter was pleasant, and they were considerate enough to allow substitutions for my sister who is allergic to nuts and dairy. 4 stars and not 5 because while I would bring someone I want to impress here, as a vegan I was not satisfied with the food I ate for the price I paid (but my family was).
From an Italian born and raised in Italy: this is the best Italian restaurant in the US. Keep the bar high guys!! Alla grande!
Havent been here in years and we decided to go. We were early enough to get a table but it filled up fast! Delicious clams, lasagna and chicken pamesan. Oldest Italian restaurant in Atlanta for good reason!
Cozy place with great food, drinks and service providers. A good wine list without pretense. Parking calls for ahead planning.
Very nice place with good food. Highly recommended.
Food and wine were perfect! Atmosphere is cozy but not crowded. Loved our waiter, Tonino. He, along with the rest of the wait staff took care of us in true relaxed, professional Italian style! Salute!
This is my favorite Italian restaurant in town. The food and service are both excellent. Nino’s is one of my favorite spots for a romantic dinner, but it’s good for other occasions as well.
Great service, great food. Couldnt finish all of my meal. Best Italian Ive had in a long time. Restaurant has a level of old school classiness i havent seen in a long time.
Came here because my Atlanta staple, Alfredos, had closed. At first I thought this place would be a great substitute, because at the beginning it reminded me a lot of Alfredos. The food did as well, it was very authentic and well-presented. However, as the night progressed and we started waiting on entrees to come out, service all but stopped. Our glasses were not refilled, no more bread, nothing. A large group of people came in around this time and our waiter gave all of his attention to them, I suppose because he was expecting a large tip. A different staff member brought out the rest of our food and another brought our desserts, we didnt see our waiter until he came to get the check. We were waiting on our ice to melt for something to drink halfway through the meal. Would recommend for the authentic Italian food, however the service did not match the food.
Want to impress your wife or a new gf, or just a romantic dinner. Tired of the local Italian chain and the drogginess it brings. Well after going to the Atlanta Aquarium, my son a picky eater wanted spaghetti , so on the whim I pull g maps and lookup spaghetti near me. It suggests several places, so I scroll at pics, some are not dine in, some have words I cant pronounce. So I see food that looks practical and not to far so I click start and 10 minutes later I pull into this 2 business lot. It looks small but as I walk in theres a comfortable patio, enclosed as I walk in through the main door to be received. They ask if I had reservations and was seated. I ordered a beer and my son a Coke an order of spaghetti with meatballs and me lasagna. Appetizers can in form of a salad with toasted bread and butter. Food came within 10 minutes, succulent tasty and it filled me up soon. I ordered a walnut cake with vanilla bean ice cream to top off the evening. Yup that was food. So those not fluent in Italian but know enough to maintain a conversation or you know Spanish and realize its almost Spanish or love wine, this has a brick room full of wine. Its cozy in its elongated dining room, dim lights almost think you in lil Italy, enjoy.
Love Ninos!! Our favorite server, Mark, always takes great care of us here. The food is fresh and delicious and a go to when were craving authentic Italian.
I love this place. I ordered the Gnocchi the last time and it was so delicious. The little bruschetta they serve along with the bread is so yummy. I also love the escargot. Going back in July.
Food was excellent!
If you like nice, intimate spots this Italian place is good for you. The food was good and the service was ok. We were the last customers so I think everyone was ready to go home. But other than that it was very nice
This restaurant is absolutely incredible. It has been in business for a very long time due to exceptional service from waiters and the best Italian food in the U.S.
It is very rare for me to say that I loved an Italian restaurant. I absolutely loved this one! The food was unbelievably authentic and delicious. The wine was excellent. Finally, the dessert. We tried the tiramisu. It was more delicious than the tiramisu we had in Europe. You could taste the espresso beans. I will be back!
The food varied wildly in quality. The ceasar salad dressing is oily and kind of weird and the bread was pretty bland and they gave us only a tiny amount. The pasta and chicken dishes were wonderful though! Which left us wondering what happened with the salads. But then theres the dessert cart... They leave all their desserts on a cart in the middle of the dining room, that then gets rolled to each table. God only knows what germs get all over those cakes. We were kind of grossed out by that, so we skipped dessert and went for gelato elsewhere instead. (Not to be mean, but my boyfriend made a good point that it really looks and feels like the beginning of a Restaurant Makeover show.) (Also, WAY too much butter with such little bread. Youre just wasting it.)
A family favorite since high school. Love this place.
Got the worst service last night I ended up giving half the tip to another server who did more then my actual server
Made reservations for my daughter and her friends for prom. Alessandra was very helpful! She made everything very simple and convenient! They truly enjoyed the food and experience!
Note: This is an updated review. (My first one spoke highly of the food but badly of a waiter. Thankfully he is no longer there.)The food here is amazing. Weve eaten at so many Italian restaurants in Atlanta that Ive lost track, but Ninos is one of the best. Our other favorite Italian restaurant was just down the street, but the owner of the land evidently sold the property to make room for a condo project and it was torn down. It had been there for decades. Glad Ninos is still in business. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. They have a glassed in section in the front if you like the more open feeling. We like getting a booth in the back. Just cozier. The service was perfect, waiter friendly and efficient and my Lasagna Al Forno simply amazing. We finished up by splitting a Tiramisu and Chocolate Chip and Baileys Cheesecake. Dont leave without trying them!
As soon as you walk in, you can smell the excellent AUTHENTIC Italian cuisine. Unbelievable wine selection. Tony really has an incredible knowledge of wines and it shows on his menu of wines.
Absolutely one of the best restaurants in Atlanta. The food, the atmosphere and the wonderful service take me back to Italy every time!
Excellent service and good food
You guys rock! Good times!
Love the place....great food and service. Old School Italian.
We really enjoy this restaurant. The staff is very friendly too. Its not the BEST ITALIAN FOOD YOUVE EVER HAD but its reliable, comfortable, friendly, great prices, and always an enjoyable neighborhood restaurant experience.
Had a great dining experience here. Wonderful old school service and excellent authentic Italian cooking.
Great environment! Low lit, nice table setting, great wine selwction. Ask for John. He will take care of you and make sure your experience is delightful.
Fantastic! And they were so generous with their time to check on their food sourcing on certain items because of my food allergies and dietary restrictions. Usually, if I eat in a restaurant, these things cause me to have to order the most bland, boring meal, but I was able to get something great and full of flavor.My friend Donna who turned me onto Ninos has been raving about it as Atlantas best Italian restaurant, for years.
Fantastic service and the meal was the best!
My new favorite authentic Italian restaurant. Yes, its relatively cramped inside, but the ambience and food and service is what love. Be sure to get reservations or you may wait a while in their tiny bar/waiting area. I do love the place.
When you are hungry, you choose Italian. Any meaty dish here is in the 20s. Its savory and flavorful. I chose the chicken with mushroom sauce and vegetables. Delicious.
Best. Pasta. Period. This place is so delicious and not at all stuffy. They take their pasta seriously and it is seriously delicious.Ninos Italian Restaurant
Ninos never disappoints. Celebrating a birthday and the food and service were excellent. Long time customer.
Great food and service. Ive been coming here for years and have always enjoyed the experience. Atmosphere is pleasant and allows for conversation.
Food was delicious but service was a bit slow
Great find. A charming old school Italian restaurant. Great food, cozy atmosphere
Great local spot, the staff is always friendly, and the food is delicious. The spaghetti bolognese is one of my favorites.
Great food and service. Family owned.Great date place
A long standing Italian restaurant that doesnt leave me wanting to rush back. Their Caesar salad dressing was tasteless, nothing like a classic dressing. My clams were gritty however their red wine sauce was ok. Servings were big so you may have leftovers!
Have been here many times and it never fails to please. Their Cesar Salad is wonderful and not overbearing. This time I had the Pollo Alessandra with a side of angel hair pasta. This dish is wonderful. My brother had the Caprese Salad and Lobster Diavolo. The tomatoes were very flavorful and delicious. The Lobster is wonderful here. Just the right amount of garlic and red sauce that adds to the lobster, but does not overpower it. The atmosphere is charming. The dim lighting in the main dining room is great for a date night and the patio is wonderful for a more lively meal with friends.
Classic, old school Italian fare. Great wine list, home made pasta. The real deal!
The ambiance is really nice, cozy, friendly, clean. The service is great and fast, very attentive and smiley server and staff. The food is super tasty, fresh, cooked perfectly. Id come back again :)
This place is phenomenal. Easily one of the best Italian restaurants in Atlanta. Ive had several different dishes and they were all really good.
This is such a great place. The atmosphere is fantastic, food is delicious, and portions are generous for the price
Took a chance and stopped in late for dinner. What a treat!!! Fantastic food and attentive service. Would go back in a heartbeat!
Out of towners with last minute dinner plans. Was pleasantly surprised by the food! Definitely worth a visit!
I tried the lasagna and my spouse tried the salmon it was our first time everything was so delicious wine is good Services nice they are cooking from fresh the only thing the cake was a little dry but beside that everything is good
Good food and friendly atmosphere
The food was the best Italian authentic Ive ever had in Atlanta. The service is excellent.... six stars if there were six!!! By the way make sure you try the tiramisu and the almond cake!!!
Excellent food, reservations recommended, knowledgeable wait staff. Can get a little noisy and crowded in the dining room but the food is worth it.
Nice place with good food... intimate atmosphere with dim lighting.
Great service, ambiance. Love my Grouper dish. Some appetizers were bland seasoned.
Best italian in the Atlanta area!!! Try their Lasagna. If you are a tiramisu person, dont hesitate go for it!
Enjoy the place. Good food and nice mood. Highly recommended for a date night.
Traditional Italian, slightly overpriced, excellent service and food.
Most authentic Italian in Atlanta. Atmosphere is authentic Im this restaurant
It is not just food, but memories. My wife and I have been reading the for over 30 years. The good, service, and atmosphere never waivers.Mussels, veal, pasta, tiramisu, all wonderful.
Great food and service authentic cannoli made on site and very attentive service. Slightly pricey
Great food. Great service. Lovely decor and atmosphere. Pricey.
Delicious food. Lovely service.
Weve been patronizing Ninos since 1987. Its our go to spot, especially for special occasions. Reminds me of my Nonnas home cooking. Service is always spot on too. A real treat!
The experience at Ninos is like stepping back in time. I think the decor and interior are still unchanged from the beginning. And that is part of the charm. The other charm is the stream of delicious food coming from the kitchen via seasoned, non-nonsense but friendly servers. The complimentary bruschetta appetizer sets the palate for the delicious pasta dishes to come. Desserts are presented tableside and always tempting. Great spot for a date, a family, and friends alike! A true treasure of the old Cheshire Bridge Rd vibe.
Delicious authentic Italian, fantastic service, great atmosphere. Loved it!
I found this place based on the oh so great reviews, only to be terribly disappointed. We were not even greeted and was taken as being in the way. Nevertheless, we stayed to be seated only after the manager rolled his eyes because we didnt have reservations. After seeing someone else come after us and getting attended to first, that was the last straw after feeling unwelcomed with others staring at us trying to figure out why we were there. After deciding not to spend my hard earned money there, I dont think I will be returning to this side of town anytime soon.
Great food, service and atmosphere. Veal parm, bruschetta, stuffed clams were all top notch!
The nicest most authentic place. Beautiful male waiters, greet host at front of the house,and the best food every, dessert presentation was awesome, great overall.
Fantastic service. Good wine selection. Very nice atmosphere.
Great service, great food. An Atlanta tradition!
Nice experience, food is decent, albeit a bit pricey for the quality / portions.
Ninos is the best Italian restaurant Ive been to in Atlanta. Very authentic Italian food, mostly of the style of southern Italy.
Made a reservation in vain. Our waiter spoke to us as if we couldnt afford being there; mind we were dressed in suits, ties and heels. Our wine glass was flighty and had to send it back 4 times. Never received our complimentary bruschetta. We ended up just leaving as our waiter was annoying.
Great in every way! Service, food, wine, owner was fantastic.
Food was okay and too overpriced for its portions. Staff was very nice and attentive, even though it was packed. Place is too dark!
Great food and service is always excellent. We always ask for Tony. We love the escargot and the different pastas on the menu.
I enjoyed the restaurant on my visit to Atlanta. The food and service were very good.
Great atmosphere and service but, the food was AMAZING!! Cant wait to return to Atlanta for another visit.
Great service, awesome food!
Ninos was able to accommodate a birthday party for 10 on a Saturday night with about a weeks notice. Are food and drinks were all delicious, the service was great and they gave us separate checks with no complaint at all.
This place is the gem of italian restaurants in Atlanta. There is no other place in town to get veal. They accommodate every other kind of diet weather vegetarian or pescetarian. The desserts are handmade and the food is very authentic.
Best Italian restaurant in Atlanta, whether youre with friends or family or a date . Food is very delicious, an amazing hidden gem.
Nice service, great food, and lovely atmosphere. Not to mention... unlimited bread and butter. 😊
Great food grouper special was amazing + service was great.

2022-07-04Fantastic place for authentic Italian! Do yourself a favor, people: Get off Peachtree Road for a reasonably priced 5 star meal in a romantic setting. The hubs and I dined on the enclosed patio and thoroughly enjoyed it. We will be back!

2022-05-08I frequent Ninos and usually sit in the cozy bar area. The specials are always amazing. I recently had grouper with asparagus. I usually start with escargot but dove right in so forgot pic. Make sure you sop up the buttery sauce from the escargo with their bread. Yum! Highly recommend! The eggplant parm is melt in your mouth delicious. Its probably my favorite dish there. Decor is old school, dimly lit. Feels authentic. I usually have pinot grigio with my meal and end with Amaro Nonino as a digestif. Always a beautiful meal!

2021-08-18Spent our 30th anniversary last night it Ninos. This was the place we went on our 2nd date. Much nostalgic memories. Still a great as I remembered.. Old school Atlanta restaurant, small, intimate and good service. Always a good choice for a date night or a special occasion. Expect to spend a little money for dinner especially if you get wine and dessert.

2021-05-22This place is YUMMMYYYYYThe dimmed lights, the ambiance, the waiters, the weight staff, the cleanliness, the promptness, the hot and delicious food... I just dont even have all the words to describe how good this place was. My sister came in from out of town and her grandson wanted authentic Italian food so she googled and this was the place we found. So glad we stopped in today. Ive lived in Atlanta for close to 25 years and never knew about this place. It was my first time being here but it most certainly will not be my last. Youve got to try the almond tart... It is to live for!!!!!!?
