Classic red sauce Italian spot with decades of experience
"Vintage, Italian-American cuisine is alive and well at Nino's and Alfredo's (2 different Italian restaurants on the same block). These Cheshire Bridge Road institutions have been serving up that old-style, heavily cheesy, tomatoey cooking for more than 40 years. Although seemingly a little dated, the throwback low ceiling, dimly lit dining rooms will make you feel like you're in a scene from The Godfather. Come here for classics like veal saltimbocca, lasagna al forno, chicken cacciatore, and eggplant parmesan. The desserts are all homemade and ridiculously tasty as well. Like many Cheshire Bridge restaurants, there's a serious cult following. Go to both and choose a team." - Dear Elouise
"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
"Located on Cheshire Bridge Road, Nino’s has been doling out old-school red sauce pasta dishes in Atlanta for over 50 years. Keep it simple with the spaghetti and meatballs or the lasagna or order the fettucine with shrimp and scallops tossed in Pernod and saffron cream sauce. There’s also the classic veal parmesan. Reservations highly encouraged." - Eater Staff
