    We enjoyed our Thanksgiving meal at Ninos’s! Especially because we were able to get all 12 of us traveling together in for our dinner. Only hiccup was not being able to have our bills separated into the three families. Also, soda refills were costly, maybe five dollars apiece. But this was not written on any menu or told to us by our server. But all in all, it was a beautiful restaurant and we were super happy to enjoy Thanksgiving with Nino!

    An example, of many, that sets Nino's apart. I confirmed my reservation by OpenTable, which would be enough for most restaurants. Nino personally called me to confirm for my wife and my Thanksgiving reservation. Nino's service is as stellar as the cuisine. We have been dining there for years and hope to continue for many more!

    I expected better food as this place has a good reputation. Service was slow and inattentive.

    It’s always one of our “go-to” spots when visiting the Upper East Side. The cesear salad is the best.

    One of our favorite restaurants in NY. From the friendly greeting when we arrived to the exceptional service and meal, just what we needed! The caesar salad was fresh and delicious as well as baked clams . Our entrees also good. Have to save room for the cannoli for dessert! Can’t wait to return!

    A real throw back Italian restaurant. The kind you found on Arthur Avenue 20 years ago. Fresh crusty bread and home made bread sticks brought to the table. Caesar Salad made fresh from a table side cart. Simple menu. No frills. Basic and delicious pastas. Great cannolis too. Attentive staff. I’ll be back.

    My wife and I were in the city for an afternoon, and wanted to have a nice dinner before driving home. Nino’s beat our expectations. The service was friendly and respectful, and the food was outstanding. The Duck Risotto was amazing. We will go back whenever we are in the area.
