THE EXPLORER
We took a friend to eat at Nino’s on 52nd off 1st for dinner. Book a table for 7 and it was already full.
Very lively crowd and a piano singer in the bar.
When you enter, the reception is right there. The large bar is on the left. Then straight into the main dining room.
We ordered all dishes to share. First was arugula salad which was nice and fresh. We also ordered the daily special salad.
Then we ordered Cavatelli. Finally we ordered grilled salmon and chicken parmigiana. All dishes were cooked very perfectly and nicely spiced.
We brought our own wine and you should note that they charge $45 for corkage, a lot more than other restaurants in this area.
Nino stopped by our table twice to make sure everything was good. Our waiter was excellent.
Overall a great dining experience so we will definitely go again.

Nino’s new location is absolutely fantastic. From the moment we walked in, the space felt warm, elegant, and genuinely inviting. It’s the kind of room you immediately want to settle into.
The service was attentive without hovering, professional yet friendly, and perfectly paced throughout the evening.
The food was absolutely impeccable. I started with the fried mozzarella with anchovy sauce, light, and beautifully balanced, and followed with the Dover Sole, which was flawlessly prepared. My husband had the buffalo mozzarella and the homemade fettuccine with lobster, clams, and scallops in a tangy red sauce that was vibrant and packed with flavor. Our friend’s lentil soup and chicken were equally excellent.
For dessert, the tartufo and bananas flambé were superb. It was the perfect ending. Add in a thoughtful cocktail menu and a strong wine list, and the entire experience exceeded expectations from start to finish.
Nino’s has absolutely nailed it in its new home. We’ll be back!

Absolutely beautiful Italian restaurant – the famous Nino’s from the UES is now in Sutton place and couldn’t be a better addition to the neighborhood! The food, service and ambiance were 10/10. Cozy, elegant, warm and inviting – the perfect combination! We loved our dinner and can’t wait to come back very soon. Exceptional and highly recommend.

I hosted about 30 people in the private room in the back for my 30th birthday. When I met with Nino to talk about my birthday, I gave him a pretty high level idea of what I wanted and it exceeded my expectations. We did a buffet style dinner and food was incredible. We had several beautiful traditional antipasto plates, Caprese salad, mesclun salad, classic penne alla vodka, the grilled salmon with vegetables, and a chicken dish. The servers were so attentive, we had wine and cocktails flowing all night. It was the perfect 30th birthday and I highly recommend having a private party here.

That was one of the weirdest dining experiences I’ve ever had. We went in and the owner took us to a back room that no one was in as if he was hiding us from the other customers. This very much ruined the atmosphere which for the price is a large part of the reason why you go out to eat. The food was fine, but I think they heard us talking about how we were alone in basically a garage with tables because at the end they gave us a fruit platter in an attempt to sway our feelings toward the establishment. It failed although the fruit was actually the best part of the whole meal. If you come just get fruit, and if you want quality Italian food go across the street.

Nino’s is everything you want in a classic Italian restaurant. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and attentive service. The food is consistently delicious, with generous portions and clearly fresh, high-quality ingredients. From perfectly cooked pasta and flavorful sauces to well-prepared entrees and standout appetizers, every dish feels thoughtfully made.

The staff is friendly and professional without being overbearing, and the overall vibe is cozy, comfortable, and perfect for both family dinners and special nights out. It’s the kind of place you’re happy to return to again and again.

Highly recommend Nino’s to anyone looking for great Italian food and a genuinely enjoyable dining experience!

Nino’s Restaurant is hands down the best place to eat in Manhattan. We celebrated Valentine’s Day here, and from the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was absolutely incredible: warm, lively, and perfect for a special occasion.
The food was nothing short of spectacular. For starters, the Caesar Salad and Rigatoni alla Vodka were perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. The entrées: Branzino and Lamb Shank were cooked to perfection, rich, and unforgettable. And the desserts? Pure perfection. The cheesecake and Tiramisu were the ideal ending to an amazing meal.
The service truly set this experience apart. Dennis is without a doubt, the best server in Manhattan. Attentive, friendly, and professional, he made sure every moment of our visit was absolutely perfect, making us feel like true VIPs. He goes above and beyond to ensure your time at Nino’s is memorable and worth every second.
If you’re looking for phenomenal food, an unbeatable atmosphere, and top-tier service, Nino’s Restaurant is the place to be. Highly recommend!

Nino’s Restaurant delivered an outstanding dining experience from start to finish. Our group of six was seated in a private room, which was perfect for an intimate and relaxed evening. Service was exceptional — we were consistently well attended, with a dedicated waiter in the room the entire time who made sure we had everything we needed.

The food was truly amazing. We started with an antipasto platter, shrimp along with the baked clams and fried calamari — everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The house salads were crisp and well balanced, and the homemade lobster pasta was a standout — rich, delicious, and clearly made with care. The steaks were cooked exactly to order, and a few dishes were even prepared tableside, adding an extra touch of authenticity and a memorable element to the meal.

Overall, Nino’s combines excellent service, incredible food, and a warm atmosphere. Highly recommended for a special night out or group dinner.

Nino’s Restaurant is absolutely amazing! The meatballs, chicken parmigiana, orecchiette, and Parmesan chicken were fresh, flavorful. Every dish we tried was outstanding, but what truly made the experience unforgettable, was the exceptional customer service. Nino himself is warm, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about making sure every guest has an amazing experience. His personal touch turns a great meal into an invaluable dining experience. If you’re looking for top-tier Italian cuisine paired with hospitality that makes you feel like family, Nino’s is the place to go. Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing experience at Nino’s! This newly opened Italian restaurant is stunning — beautifully designed, with a warm and elegant atmosphere. The food was outstanding, full of authentic Italian flavors, fresh ingredients, and perfectly prepared dishes.

We visited as a group of 7 people, and everything was handled flawlessly. What truly made the night unforgettable was our waiter, Dennis. His service was exceptional — professional, attentive, friendly, and always with a genuine smile. Dennis took great care of our entire group, gave excellent recommendations, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and satisfied.

Amazing food, beautiful restaurant, and top-tier service thanks to Dennis. Highly recommended — we will definitely be back to Nino!
