'ino

The portions were far bigger than Rezdora, like three times the portion. Felt very nice from a value perspective. If Rezdora menu is a 10 on execution and ingredients, then this is like a flat 7. Which is fine btw. I don't know my pasta exceptionally well, but their pasta didn't seem like freshly made, or the flour used isn't like the kind they use in Italy, because it didn't feel friendly on the digestive tract. Further, the pastas were good, but they were very one dimensional (meat pasta was just meaty, the red sauce brought no acid, the pesto/cream pasta was just creamy, no acid or spice or contrast). I've never had octopus pasta before, and it was fine with the tiny bits of Bolognese thankfully, but perfectly cooked octopus has the same texture as pasta, so that conceptually is weird to me. The focaccia sandwich was really good, but would have benefitted from some kind of acid (balsamic glaze, pomegranate, or some wine vinegar). It was less porchetta, and more chicharron though...which again, is not a problem.

We came for a large group dinner here and immediately were taken by the beautiful bar and lighting in the space (photos attached). We were greeted warmly at the desk and waited at the bar for our friends to arrive. We ordered cocktails (margarita & Sidecar) while there and both drinks were well-crafted, strong & delicious. When we were escorted to our tables in the back, the wait staff could not have been more welcoming and accommodating, despite the size of our group. For appetizers, we enjoyed their excellent red wattle meatballs (with homemade ricotta and a delicate tomato sauce), fritto misto (lightly fried shrimp & calamari with a dip), fresh market salad (with beets, fennel & squash in a balsamic dressing) and my favorite: crispy fried mozzarella (slices of breaded mozzarella with fig jam & prosciutto). For pastas and mains, we shared cavatelli (tomatoes, basil, garlic & olive oil), perfectly seared branzino filet, roast heritage chicken (very moist and flavorful), sauteed broccoli rabe and perfectly crispy potatoes with pecorino. Service moved swiftly and efficiently, and we were never wanting for water or wine refills throughout. Everyone there was so friendly and eager to please. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

‘ino is an amazing addition to the Flatiron area. The food is incredible and the service is simply amazing. The crispy mozzarella with the pesto was delicious as was the pub burger that’s got amazing flavor. I ate lunch here and definitely will trying it for dinner.

Stopped by on a Friday night with a friend. Everything exceed expectations! We ordered the mafaldine and branzino which was delicious. Highly recommend the bread pudding for dessert, it was so good! I would come back just for this dessert. Our server Matthew was really attentive and made our experience even better. Thank you Matthew!

I had a wonderful dining experience at Ino. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate, perfect for a relaxed dinner. The pasta was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated, and the drink was one of the best I’ve had in a while. The staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Overall, a lovely spot for authentic Italian food — highly recommend!

My friends and I had a great dinner the other night at this new restaurant INO. The restaurant is very good looking and really welcoming service, friendly atmosphere very stylish. We had a delicious dinner with spaghetti with octopus, short rib with polenta, porchetta, and a fried shrimp starter. Server, Matt I think, was very nice and helpful with the menu. I highly recommend and hope To be back soon

My husband and I had the best experience at Ino; it’s such a gem! Everything from the cozy yet lively atmosphere to the incredibly warm service made for a perfect night. The farm-to-table Italian menu features the freshest ingredients and thoughtful, seasonal touches throughout. We ordered the crispy mozzarella, farmers market salad, orecchiette, and spaghetti — each was outstanding (We want to try everything on the menu but tempted to reorder what we got). Their seasonal cocktails were creative and delicious, and they surprised us with champagne and an extra dessert for our anniversary, which was very sweet. And the bread pudding is an absolute must! It was the perfect ending to an incredible meal. Can’t wait to go back, especially with happy hour and brunch on the way!

My first time dining at ‘ino was amazing! The service was excellent, and every dish I ordered was absolutely fantastic. The space is cozy and inviting. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back again.

Food was just OK. Service was spotty (for example, filling water glass of one diner and ignoring the other; providing pepper in a shaker, not a grinder). We had to beg for a table away from the bar--when there were several available and we had a reservation. Mention of a birthday in the reservation was ignored. Very noisy place. Food and service did not warrant the prices.
