Nino's is the oldest, family-owned Italian Restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia. We provide a true classic and authentic Italian dining experience, thoughtfully prepared and attentively served. Nino's Cucina Italiana has a warm, welcoming setting that's perfect for family meals & gatherings. Parking is by valet only. No cash is accepted for bills. Nino's, opened in 1968, has been owned and operated by Antonio Noviello since 1982. Originally from the Amalfi Coast of southern Italy, Antonio worked in Monte Carlo, then Bermuda where he met his wife Helen, an Atlanta resident. After moving to Atlanta in 1981, Antonio's life-long dream of owning his own restaurant became a reality when he purchased Nino's. For more than forty-one years, Antonio has taken pride in serving authentic Italian Cuisine made with fresh, imported ingredients and cooked to order for each guest. In 2006 Antonio's middle daughter Alessandra became the manager and has since taken over with her husband Micah. Alessandra and Micah take pride in keeping the long-standing traditions and reputation of serving exceptional Italian cuisine alive. Nino's has attracted devoted locals who return time and again, along with a long list of who had heard of Nino's reputation and stopped in to sample the fare. Many of the dishes on Nino's menu are original recipes brought from Italy by Antonio and his brother Giuseppe. Antonio's favorite dishes are those named after his daughters, Gabriella, Alessandra, and Michela; his wife Elena (Helen); his brother Giuseppe; his brother-in-law Paola, and himself and the grandchildren. The pasta dish which bears the name of Nino's is a recipe from Mama Noviello. Antonio, Alessandra and Micah invite you to relax and savor some of the great culinary treasures of Italy in a memorable dining experience, at Atlanta's Oldest Italian Ristorante!

    The experience is so worth it- book the reservation! The wine, cocktails, appetizers, dishes, fun hats and music! You will not be disappointed! Service was a tad slow at first- seemed she may have been double or triple seated pretty close together but made up for it with her warmth and her knowledge of the menu! The expo runners and bussers were so kind and welcoming- the “salúd” with the delivery of cocktails was such a nice touch! The decorations are truly over the top in the most mesmerizing way! I felt like Carrie Bradshaw getting Chinese food with Miranda on Valentine’s Day! Surrounded by beautiful decorations! Will definitely return to catch more decorations for a different holiday! Brava, Mama Gale and team! Wow!

    Absolutely loved the festive atmosphere at Nino's on the 23rd. When I made the reservation had NO idea how busy it would be. Santa was even there. Took way too long to receive our entrees but totally understandable considering the dining room was at capacity with a lot of large groups. I'll be back when it's warm enough to dine on your quiet porch. Dining room was too noisy. Servers were great by the way.
