Food was delicious. Our server was over the top and we loved the atmosphere. Will definitely go back again.

Nice spot for Italian food In Greenville Visiting from out of town and not knowing the area - and from driving around our location it seamed there were plenty of fast food options but we were looking for a more formal type restaurant. We found Nino's on Yelp and decided to make a reservation. Nino's has a slightly open concept with indoor and outdoor seating. Good place to go out on a date, family dinner or special occasions. Once entering we were immediately greeted by a number of smiling hostesses to check us in. The staff was polite, professional and friendly. We started with two appetizers, wine and a cocktail (whiskey Sour). Ordering up the Burrata Bruschetta along with Risotto Balls in a red sauce (special's menu). The Burrata Bruschetta was tasty with a nice presentation & the Risotto Balls in red sauce were excellent. Main Course First dish: Rigatoni alla Vodka - spot on flavor with a delicate and creamy sauce - delicious. Second dish: Orecchiette with Sausage - the sauce was bland - along with the broccoli steams unevenly cut/torn and there was barely any sausage (maybe 4 thin slices). I just felt while digging into the dish that it was thrown together - it was truly disappointing. Nino Cucina Italiana is nice place overall, when I come back in town I will give it another try but with some different choices. Cheers

Love the food and service at Nino's. They have the best calamari, and the chicken saltimbocca might be my new favorite! A nice balance of sweet and savory taste. Also don't skip dessert! I highly recommend the chocolate cannoli and limoncello cake. You won't be disappointed. The one negative would be that I wish they were open on Sundays.

There is a lot to say and you don't want to read a book, so I'll try to be concise-ish. I came here with my family for a nice dinner. Not being from here, I had my daughter choose a place, and she chose Nino's. Great choice, honestly. We had six people, and Blake was our waiter. What a pleasure it was. This place was hopping and all staff were busting it. Despite a supposed 1.5 hour wait, we were seated outside in about 20 minutes. It was a really nice and shady outdoor area, check the pictures! We did have a wine a beer while waiting though. I ordered the honey garlic shrimp app. Very tasty. I think without the sauce it would be bland. The sauce was very good and had a bit of heat to it. I also ordered a Moscow mule mocktail which was nice. Food: Table bread, foccacia. It was decent, but would have been better with either a touch of salt or olive oil for dipping. Rack of lamb: so so good. That meat, oh baby. Tender and tasty. Chicken piccata with veggies and a side of oven roasted potato slices and a side Caesar. The piccata was excellent, best I've had in a long time. The potatoes were decent. The Caesar was good, but the dressing didn't taste house made. Ravioli, the kids loved it. Great marinara. Chicken parmesan. Same marinara, quite good. Fettuccini Alfredo. The Alfredo sauce tasted house made and was delicious. Same with all of the pasta (Fettuccini, ravioli, chicken parm), all made in house. And lastly, though I didn't taste it, one of us had a smoked old fashioned which I was told was pretty good. So... In summary. Great food and top notch service. Very nice atmosphere. Best Italian food I've had in a while. This is a great place for a celebration, date night, anniversary, etc.

Update: 27 Mar2024 Return visit was great! Our waiter was new but was excellent! Based on his recommendations, we discovered a baked cheesecake with Nutella that was off the hook yummy. It was huge so definitely a shareable. Just beware to order it early since it takes time to prepare. We learned thru our waiter the meatballs are all beef! So can't wait to try that next time. Shout out to our waiter to lower the music as it was a tad loud in the restaurant once it starts filling up. We arrived wed 4:30p, finished by 5:45ish before the band arrived. For us that woukd have been too loud. The decibel app registered rose from quiet to moderate noise level as the hour progressed. The food was great! My blackened chicken choice made my mushroom ravioli a tad salty, so lesson learned. Can't wait to go back.

Chianti by the glass was average at best Bread was above average Octopus - great flavor and char but the toughest I've ever had Lasagna - GREAT! Cheesecake which isn't made in house GREAT SERVICE - 5 star. Atmosphere - Great. If I hadn't got the octopus or the wine or both woulda gave 5 stars.

Without a doubt, the best Italian food I've eaten in a long time! We sat at the bar for TV access during the ACC Championship game, and though busy, the bar staff took great care of us. The salads were fresh and tasty. We ordered the Burrata Bruschetta as an appetizer, and it was seriously astonishing. Our entrees were phenomenal. I had the veal marsala with spinach, and after the first bite, I stopped talking because it was so good. The pork chop was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The entire restaurant is eye-pleasing and comfortable. Great food, and great staff! This is a must try.

My husband and I came here for our 3 year wedding anniversary and it was delicious!!! I had been wanting to their cacio e pepe and it did not disappoint! Everything was good that I have been craving it ever since! Our waitress was so nice and helpful with the menu since it was our first time. The inside makes you feel like you are in a classy, upscale restaurant that isn't typical in the Greenville. Definitely a Greenville gem!
