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!

    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.

    It is with great sadness that I post about what once was a favorite restaurant. My husband and I have been loyal customers for decades but last night we went to Nino’s on Cheshire Bridge and were treated to bad food and abuse. My husband thought I broke a tooth on the sandy spaghetti vongole, and he struggled to choke down a rubbery, bland veal ‘parmesan’ topped with a quarter inch of cold mozzarella. The dry spaghetti marinara needed sauce to be edible. We did not request any refund, but did get a replacement for the inedible clam pasta. We did not mention the other concerns to our server and left with kind words and a 30% tip. On the way out, we stopped to share some carefully worded constructive feedback with the new owner saying we felt the kitchen was having an off night. Well, we will never know if that is true because we will never return to Ninos. Why? Because we were accosted at the host stand by the “chef” who stormed out to loudly proclaim to the room that he was an owner, we were wrong, his clams were fine yesterday, and he could cut the veal with a butter knife. Not sure what veal he meant as we didn’t mention that dish until after he arrived. Guessing he confused us with another complaining customer. We attempted to settle him down by quietly assuring both owners we were merely trying to offer friendly feedback as we loved the restaurant and wanted it to continue to thrive. But this owner “chef” escalated his volume and his aggressive posturing and even followed us out into the parking lot yelling at us. Who does that? He was hostile, rude, and devoid of class. He was completely unconcerned about losing our business forever. Apparently, loyalty at Nino’s only works in one direction — they take your money and then you take their abuse. I’ve never been treated like this and it’s crazy that we paid $300 dollars for this meal. If I could give negative stars, I would do so. It has become a trashy operation. Such a shame.

    Always have a great time here. We arrived early and ordered cocktails from the bar. Nino's also has a great wine list. Food was excellent, the handmade pasta is delicious.

    Food is above average, staff is friendly but not particularly well versed on either food or wine. Reliable, but not great

    We always ask to sit at one of Robin's tables. We've known him for many years and he's always been professional, friendly and knowledgeable. You're lucky to have him working with you. Peggy Parks

    We weren’t going back after the last visit. Veal chop came out raw tonight as chicken piccata and pasta was cold after a very long wait we used to really enjoy Nino’s even had a rehearsal dinner here during Covid and a memorial dinner for our nephew. It’s a shame it’s not the same as it used to be and they don’t seem to care about their supporters. We donated to their servers they are or were family during Covid. Sasha was great as always.
