Es un restaurante familiar. La comida esta muy rica y muy bien de precio. Con el plato principal ponen verduras y patatas en salsa. Pedimos entrante y principal, no pedimos postre porque no podiamos mas, incluso mi mujer pidio que parte del plato principal se lo pusieran para llevar. La casa nos invito a un chupito de limoncello. Todo muy bien.

We had a great experience on a busy Tuesday evening. This family run restaurant was full but had a friendly, efficient atmosphere. There were 8 of us and all of our food choices were very good. The portions and flavours were outstanding. The patrons had a great team blending experience and youth and they really looked after us. It’s so nice to try a traditional restaurant with no gimmicks just good service and good food. Well done!

Had a evening meal at Gino’s with my wife, we had a wonderful time with very helpful staff. Gino’s is quite small but the quality of food was excellent with very generous portions. Main course includes mixed vegetables and chips or potatoes. Nice place warm atmosphere give it a go if you are near Ruddington, south Nottingham Thank you Gino and your lovely staff you made our night.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As always the staff and service first class. The one minor disappointment was the spaghetti marinara. The spaghetti was too thick and tasteless, also there was far to much tomato sauce which overshadowed the sea food. Otherwise an enjoyable evening.

Gino's se ha convertido en un servicio de comida para llevar los viernes y sábados por la noche. Pedimos una comida para romper el largo encierro y la recogimos. El servicio fue rápido a pesar de que tenían otros 20 pedidos. La comida estuvo lista en 30 minutos y la recogida fue rápida y fácil. La pizza de pepperoni era fabulosa y había mucha comida en los platos de pollo. Todo supo maravilloso. Si desea un descanso del bloqueo, intente esto, ya que vale la pena. Gracias Gino's por alegrar nuestra noche de sábado.

Ven a este restaurante a menudo con familiares y amigos. Es un favorito para nosotros. Un pequeño lugar muy lindo, puede estar muy concurrido en las horas punta, así que si prefiere un lugar más tranquilo para cenar, le aconsejo que vaya temprano. La comida sale muy rápido y las raciones son muy generosas. Los filetes son fabulosos ya un precio muy razonable. He probado muchas cosas diferentes en el menú y ni una sola vez me ha decepcionado. Si todavía tienes espacio, te recomendaría probar los postres, ¡ya que son celestiales! No es bueno para la cintura, pero vale la pena. En general, un restaurante muy agradable para cenar

Qué suerte tiene Ruddington Village de tener lugares encantadores para comer y socializar en lugar de ir a la ciudad y pagar precios exorbitantes en estos grandes restaurantes llamados elegantes. Tuve una deliciosa comida sabrosa y un postre y terminé con Lemonchello. Gracias al chef y al personal. Espero con interés mi próxima visita.

We had booked a table on a Friday evening, but need not have bothered; only 3 other tables were occupied. With so few customers, there was no real atmosphere. Wide ranging menu which was reasonably priced, but when food arrived it was disappointing. I had a chicken dish, which did not live up to its description; in spite of being covered in sauce, the chicken itself was dry. Prefer other eateries in Ruddington.

Have been here a few times over the years. Although the decor is a little dated it fits in very well with the family run rustic Italian atmosphere.

Gino (the owner) really does know what goes well with different food.Worth a visit!

Booked here due to good reviews, first impressions were good but went downhill from there. Food reminded me of a place I used to go to 20yrs ago with prawn cocktails and floaty coffee's.Stuffed mushrooms and margarita pizza very bland, coke was flat, lasagne too hot to eat, salad of iceberg lettuce and tomatoes cut in large quarters filled half the plate, and not a smile from any of the waitresses.That said, the chicken and mussels were nice and the place was full so obviously lots of people like it, but not for me - sorry.

I had the biggest Rib-eye steak that I have ever seen, also the most tender that I have ever had! Cooked to perfection and served with lots of top quality vegetables, more than I could eat.My wife had the lamb shank that was excellent also. I would recommend this restaurant to anybody (and everybody!), prices were very reasonable.We arrived at 6.45 and the restaurant was almost full to capacity so it would probably pay to book a table. The waitress was polite and efficient, (pretty also!) A dining experience to definitely be repeated the next time that we are in the area, certainly the best dining experience that we have had for a long time.

T bone for main which was super and the wife had the fillet in pepper sauce which she enjoyedGood portion sizesWine was ok but not worth the £20 cost so all in all 3+ stars but not 4. Would go back but not too soon.

We have traveled the world and eaten in some exotic restaurants but pound for pound and penny for penny Ginos consistently cooks the best steaks ever!! They are always so tender and whilst you get a steak knife with your meal your don't really need one to cut the meat that melts in your mouth. I would really like to discourage people from coming here so we could always be guaranteed a table but that would be completely unfair for this little gem of a restaurant where it has also been known for one or two celebrities to turn up! Whilst dining is intimate it is always great fun and staff always work hard to please.

I've lived in Ruddington for a while now and my only regret is not trying this place sooner! Great service by an Eastern European waitress (apologies I didn't catch her name) Great house red (love the fact that you get a litre of the stuff) Great mussels to start a huge portion for less than a fiver! Great pizza and pasta for main. It reminds me of a local Italian I used to go to as a child. Honest comfort home cooked Italian food... A meal for four with two courses each, wine and sides for less than £90 we'll definitely be returning!

We haven't eaten here, but on a business trip to Nottingham, a city I have never been to, we were driving round, looking for where the sat nav told us to go. Unfortunately, we fell foul of an over-zealous traffic warden, and to cut a long story short, we were lost! We stopped to ask a guy in chef's whites, a local obviously, for directions, and the guy offered to show us the way. He took us down roads I would have ignored and eventually found us a safe parking space and helped us carry several heavy boxes to the shop.So I would like to thank the fantastic guy from Gino's for his help, when all he had to do was point in the vague direction - above and beyond, I say!We will definitely go to Gino's if ever we can, but looking at some reviews, it might be worth a night in Nottingham and a meal out.Thanks for all your help, Mr Gino's!

used to be always a fantastic restaurant, but definitely lost its polish. The owner doesn't seem interested any more and was quite rude to be honest. The meals have in the past always been beyond excellent, so to say was disappointed was an under statement. You need to get a grip and fast because bad word spreads fast! Having said that its not rocket science and could easily be turned back into the best italian restaurant i have ever eaten at, which it really did used to be. The mussels and steak used to be to die for.

Terrible food, and terrible, service and the owner was rude and if you are not Italian you do no get a looked after at all. Firstly I know good food because I have eaten in lots of restaurants but the food was shocking bland and tasteless. When we arrived they didn't even take our jackets but the owner took the next people's jackets when they arrived. They hardly spoke to us throughout our meal the steak I order was horrible and had beeb mothered in herbs that didn't mix well. My son ordered a pizza which wasnt a pizza but a flat bread with melted cheese. Over priced and overated. The salads that come with meal was bland the veg over cooked and covered in anaseed flavour which was horrible the sardines were under cooked and tacky with a bland source we asked for a desert menu but never received it overall wouldn't recommend the restaurant and certainty wouldn't eat there again.

Thank you so much for making our evening such a lovely night today Sunday 25th January.I wish to say nothing but high praise for Gino's at Ruddington. The meal was excellent and the service second to none. Fred the owner is always welcoming and his staff too, the house red wine is one of the best for the cost. I visited this restuarant this evening with my adult daughter she actually works in a well known restaurant in the Vale of Belvoir. May I add I get fed up with these people who make comments such as one I viewed earlier obviously this person is not use to eating in a nice, excellent value for money restaurant and yes you have to wait a while for your meal but isn't that worth it for freshly cooked meals and isn't that what it is all about. Fred I still cannot get my vegetables to taste as good as your serve! Very happy customer wish to make it known dining at Gino's for 20 years now and will always return and recommend.

Well I decided to try this restaurant as Ruddington does not have a great selection of restaurants. Without doubt some of the worst Italian food I have eaten. I ordered a two course on my first visit and was seated close to the bar area. As others arrived to eat I noted that they use large 2L bottles for fizzy drinks and 1L cartons of orange juice. My starter came out and the garlic mushroom in garlic and cream tasted like it had been watered down. The spaghetti in the spagetti bolognese tasted like it was a Heinz spagetti tin. I left both courses behind. I then decided not to be too hasty and returned the following night to try different courses and they managed to disappoint again. I ordered chicken Diavola. When the dish arrived my plate was overflowing and there was also a separate bowl of vegetables. When I managed to get the sauce scraped off the BOILED chicken breast it was tasteless. I ate 4 chips and two pieces of the chicken then paid and left. The entire time the waitress was at the bar chatting with someone she knew and not overly interested in the patrons. I ended up calling at the local supermarket to get something edible for my dinner. I am soooo disappointed that.I have been unable to find somewhere great to eat yet in this village. I am thinking the Chinese takeaway or Fish & Chip shop might be the next ones to try

It was a special occasion and we were not disappointed. The food was excellent, the service good, the portions more than enough and the prices reasonable for the quality of food, what more can you asked for. From conversations in the restaurant there were customers that came on a regular basis. The place is not large and the tables are a little close together but that was not a problem for us.

Booked for a family get together.There should have been fourteen but only twelve could make it which was a good thing as Gino's is only a small venue.I felt a little uncomfortable as when we got there some family members hadn't seen each other for a while and so ended up sharing their emotions with the whole restaurant.Service was a little slow but I think we were just left to chat which wasn't too bad.Various dishes were ordered (but no starters) ranging from pizza & steak to sea bass & veggie dishes.I thought on the night that all enjoyed the food and thought it to be of a good quality?However I now know that a small percentage of the group were not over impressed and one actually posted a rather negative review on here!Anyway from my wife and I's point of view we thought our sea bass was wonderful there was plenty of it and the side dishes of veg and potatoes etc were enough for anybody.Yes it's a little cramped but hey ho I've been to far worse.We will go again and maybe on a Wednesday when I think it is pizza and pasta night?The pizza by the way got a slating so I Would like to sample it for myself?overall great night,good food a couple of beers and a good laugh!Sorry to those who's intimate night was ruined we we first arrived:)

We have been to Fred's a number of times.Always a warm welcome, excellent food,service and price.A true family ran restaurant. Cannot fault it at all. Other reviews said of the decor!!maybe a bit old fashioned, it's the food you go for ,this is perfect.

We booked here because someone had heard from someone don't know who that it was brilliant. It isn't.Walking in my heart sank looking around seeing how cramped it all was. The tables are tiny.The food took an age to come but when it did it was of very mediocre. My capriociosa pizza was basically a large squarish surface of pizza bread with a melted upper surface of stuff lacking texture and lacking any one distinguishing taste. Basically a melted blob. For some reason my wife ordered steak and it was not cooked as requested - when the thing was sent back and returned it went from undercooked to pretty well ruined.It's not expensive here so expecting great or even good Italian isn't going to happen so if you're after good or better give it a miss.

Went to Ginos last Wednesday with a group of friend great choice of menu.I had the lasagne which is delicious I am very picky with regards to meat but the meat in the lasagne was really tasty had French fries as a side order and was so full so didn't try any desserts.The staff are very friendly and quick to serve drinks while you wait for the meal and they dont rush you as happens in some restaurants.I have already booked again with another group of friends and if the food and service stays the same im sure I will be going many times.

Despite living only a couples of miles away i have never been here, took my other half and the kids last night at 6.45 and it was already half full only one waitress at first and she had her hands full so a bit of time waiting to order drinks - she took drinks order and food at same time we got drinks quickly followed by our starters and main course - food was good nice and hot and more Importantly kids ate without complaint ! It's good value food, agree it needs refurb but very clean and well run will definitely be back.

you wait too long to be offered a drink. If you ask for attention from waiting staff mad to feel you are being a nuisance.

We were staying at a local hotel whose restaurant wasn't open on a Sunday night, and we didn't want to drive to eat. Gino's was a 5 min walk from the hotel so, in effect, was Hobson's Choice. However, we weren't let down. Service was friendly and attentive and the food well cook with generous portions. If we ever come to Ruddington again we would visit Gino's.

We had a meal out with friends for a birthday and had a table for 6 which was situated near the bar which was a good position as the restaurant is small..... we had a slight delay for enough menus and chatted for a bit before turning our attention on what to order while nibbling on the grissini which were very nice! We all ordered starters and main courses. The portions were all good sizes. I had calamari for a starter which were really nicely done and not chewy, if they would have come with a garlic mayo they would have been near enough perfect. I had the king prawns in a cream and brandy sauce for my main and these come with potatoes and separate veg - I enjoyed the food, it was good but I wouldn't say it was exceptional or refined dining. Everyone enjoyed their meals and we were all full so no one had a dessert as we were all stuffed!I would come here again to try out more of the menu as it isn't badly priced and they do have specials on in the week.The service was friendly and prompt throughout the meal.

Frederici cooks wonderful pasta, magnificent pizza and succulent chicken. BUT. My favorite is his Rossini - tender fillet steak cooked to perfection every time with a pate to accompany it perfectly and coated in excellent sauce. The potatoes go perfectly with this dish. I always like a side salad but have to leave the olives since they are not my love. That is the only thing not to love!

I have been here a few times and the food has always been good quality ,but not exciting if you know what I mean. The biggest problem is it is very small in size and sometimes when it gets full you can feel you are on somebody else's table, because you are quite close together. The other problem is there are no tables available to book as it is fully booked, especially if you are a large group as I recently found out!

We go to Gino's about every 6 weeks for an early evening pasta and have never been disappointed. Gino and his staff are very friendly.and helpful. The food and wine are reasonably priced.. The restaurant is fairly busy " early doors " but service excelent

As usual the chef excelled himself. A perfect Steak Rossini.Cosy, pleasant atmosphere, and really good food. I find the prices very reasonable. A full restaurant on a Tuesday evening shows how popular Gino's is.

This was our visit as we're not locals. We will definitely return. The menu had good variety and was reasonably priced. The House Wine (Trebbiano) was especially good. Not always the case. The food was delicious and plentiful. Unfortunately we don't get to Nottingham as much as we'd like but when we do go for another weekend we'll definitely make a bee-line for Gino's.

Enjoyable Italian style cuisine. Appetizer of prawn cocktail was nice although it had an enormous amount of Marie Rose sauce Main course was crab linguine which was nice yet it had a large amount of chilli. Infact all main courses that we had, everyone said that they were very hot with chilli! May be chef had a lot of chilli to use up… he/she certainly didn’t hold back on it Good, friendly service Nice atmosphere ££

Honestly, I went here ready to love the restaurant, but feel maybe it's taking things a little bit for granted. Had multiple dishes. Fussiloni. Wow well I am guessing boiled mince, but not an expert about why meat tasted the way it did, but I associated meat with mass produced methods of canteen food. Specials pasta was alright, think if not pasta itself being Al dente would definitely say most of people can prepare the dish at home without much effort. Wagyu whilst granted I never ate wagyu before was rubbery. Maybe that's how it suppose to be but I really had a bite and didn't want more. Tiramisu was Limoncello based , soft. Personally didn't like it, but I can see other people enjoying it. Overall during meal I was questioning my meat eating morals :D. Service was lovely. Decor was nice. Prices were high

Had takeaway delivered, Pizza wasn’t bad, wasn’t cut and toppings a bit on the light side, but is this really what you call a portion of chips? Cold, burnt and barely covering the bottom of the box! Won’t be ordering again
