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!

    Great dining experience. Out celebrating our son’s new job. While waiting for our table, the manager on duty offered those guests waiting to be seated a complimentary glass of champagne. Great gesture! Then we had the pleasure of being seated in best section. Our server, Noah, was the epitome of an attentive server. He was on point with everything. Whatever request we had, he made it happen. Being a drink snob, when my cocktail arrived in a basic tumble glass instead of the martini glass it should have come in, I immediately looked at Noah and asked, “no pretty glass for me”? He understood my wants. He said give me a few minutes and I’ll take care of that for, and that he did. Bravo Noah!👏🏽 His pleasant demeanor and attentiveness were greatly appreciated. When my daughter stated she didn’t like her dish as expected, Noah was more than willing to accommodate her request for something different. Both him and the manager on duty that night, (1/4/25) made for an enjoyable dining experience for the entire family. We’ll be back!!

    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.
