"Nino’s might not win any awards for innovation, but they’ve been around for more than 50 years, so their formula is obviously working. The menu here is focused on comforting classics that are well executed, like a giant bowl of tasty spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna al forno, and veal saltimbocca. The dining room, with giant curved booths and white tablecloths, is an old-school red sauce restaurant setting that families, dates, and nostalgia-chasers flock to. And Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra provide background noise while twirling creamy fettuccine onto your fork." - nina reeder, jacinta howard, juli horsford
