We're regulars at da Nino's since we enjoy it so much. I tried the ravioli di manza for the first time--delicious. Nino is such a gracious host.

We had guests from out of town hosting and wanted to enjoy a nice evening out. Always love dining here for the neighborhood restaurant feel and excellent service! Food is always wonderful - have tried most items on the menu. We also always order a pizza for dessert! 😂

Be sure to have the oysters here. Fresh and tasty. Then the lentil soup. After that a caesar salad. Then I would have the 3 cheese sampler, being a vegetarian. An excelleant portion. Finally the specials are almost always spectacular. I love branzini. If you like fresh pasta, the blackink squid pasta with fruits de mere is a big favorite of mine. ENJOY.

Over time we have developed what every restaurant guest wishes: for a rapport with the owner and a place at the bar during Happy Hour. Nino is the best owner that I have met in seven decades. Old school sensibilities and knows what will satisfy. He has become our source for my Ginny's favorite Prosecco, bubbles from the Gods. I am reminded of the final line in Casablanca walking into the fog, "this could be the start of a beautiful friendship." It already has! Patrick

This past Sunday, I took my son here for dinner before attending a performance at the Signature Theatre (a father-son night!) and, as usual, we had a very enjoyable experience. My son had the tuna tartare appetizer followed by the veal chop special. I had the pasta fagiole appetizer followed by the swordfish pasta special. Delicious food, warm atmosphere, attentive service by Giovanna, as well as several visits to the table by Nino to ensure that all was well. . . .who could ask for more? Highly recommended!

Another wonderful evening at Nino's. He embodies the spirit of welcoming Italian hospitality. Hard to choose between items on the regular menu and specials. All the dishes were excellent -- especially the version of carciofi alla guidia, Every time we dine here we realize we should come more often -- a special place in the whole area, offering dishes no one else does. Super-professional and responsive service from our server, "Holt"(?)
