    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.

    Nino's is one of the restaurants on the UES we love to go to regularly. Food is wonderful, whatever we order, plenty of wine choices, and the service is impeccable! They didn't disappoint us again, as they never do!!!! A restaurant to count on when you want to take an important business associate or family member to lunch or dinner. I've been going there since it opened and will continue to do so!!! Thank you, Nino, again!!!
