A really great local café! Good coffee which is reasonably priced. Very friendly owner, the eponymous Nino, who is independent of any chain of shops. Very clean interior. A really friendly, relaxed atmosphere. What is there not to like? Worth a visit anytime one is in St. Albans!

Food was OK. Sausages were a tad on the bland side. Whilst prices were expensive.

Excellent and friendly service coupled with really tasty food. Just remember that it's Halal so don't expect any pork. Turkey is used as a substitute and works just fine. I'm handicapped and the staff always go above and beyond to aid me without being in the slightest bit condescending. Love the place.

Went in for breakfast but ended up having a lunch-type meal. We ordered a Mediterranean chicken, was cooked really well although a tad bland. Adding some HP Brown sauce definitely helped. Staff was friendly, and the place was clean.

Bought jacket potato with chilli con carne and cheese... this is how it came! Looks like a flood of cheese with tasteless meat and over cooked potato! No side salad as now they serve it in foil containers...! Really unimpressed and looks unappetising!!

I sat outside the table order poached egg salmon and cappuccino coffee. without even having sachets of sugar or a spoon to mix the coffee 'I managed looking for the waitress to find a spoon sample that they put the poached in very little water to boil and the egg yolk was completely above the water but in one while in the second the egg was completely broken and the sauce was completely emptied into the pot completely hygienically completely water and cut from a temperature that not given to a customer, I spoke to the waitress announcing that this is not allowed because I too am a person who spends most of my life in the kitchen as a corporate chef in. big company and fortunately i know the object the chef the owner was completely vindictive. I did not touch the breakfast at all AND its unacceptable I pointed out that it is not right for customers to give these which I paid 4 pounds for a breakfast that I did not even touch. As a professional who knows breakfast well, someone has to show how the Dutch and then TO RAISE THE TONE OF THE VOICE TO THE CUSTOMERS

Ive only been here once and was very disappointed. We went in for lunch and ordered 2 jacket potatoes with topping and 2 drinks which came to over £15 - we think they made up the bill. The drinks were nice but the prawns on the jacket were spoiled. Service was slow and disorganised. Would not return!!

If you know nothing about food, you will enjoy eating here. The chef doesn't care about what he serves, and it really shows. 80% of the meat used in the menu is processed and fresh ingredients are used sparingly and in miserly proportions. How this establishment stays in business really is amazing. One visit is enough to teach you a lesson. It's not food, it's fodder.

A very nice diner with a range of dishes from Scrumptious Italian lasagne to a crisp mediterranean salad. Open early to Late, Nino is a great Place to get great tasting homemade food round the clock that won't break the bank. Service is outstanding and always with a bright and sincere smile. I highly reccomend the homemade beef lasagne although all dishes are worth trying.

As a regular customer I feel obliged to notify others about this shop. I find that I am very critical with choosing places and stop attending a shop if a simple thing goes wrong but with ninos what can go wrong, the food is perfect, the service is excellent and on top of that it is reasonably priced. I have tried £20 steaks but the one offered at ninos has never been beaten on taste and obviously price. Highly recommended. P.S with the large variety of food to it, you cannot get bored of it.

Café del Nino está directamente al otro lado de la calle de donde vivimos así que por favor tenga en cuenta que hemos crecido a encantar. El patrón es un tranquilo y encantador hombre que siempre tratará de satisfacer tus necesidades. El menú es bastante concurrido, con una amplia variedad de desayunos tradicionales y continentales y pan tostado paninis y una amplia gama de bocadillos, tostadas o no como usted elija. Me gusta especialmente una baguette con aguacate y crocante tocino o jamón queso Camembert y bayas.

I wouldn't even bother ,crap pub run by local great people. unfortunately the owner has no clue , Hence his closure notice from companies house, Still the land lord knows about business, Notice his other failed companies also, clueless

Would give a 3.5 if I could, got upgraded to a 4 in the end by the kids. Good points - clean, kids liked the cookie dough desserts Bad points - constant stream of delivery drivers which makes the wait seem longer when you’re dining in. It took too long at night for just 2 desserts, but loads of delivery orders went out instead. Also, no kids portions. £8 for a cookie dough dessert means, for a family, you’ll just share what your kids have (as the portions are too big for them so they’ll be wasted), rather than them having a small portion and you choosing your own.

I see a huffy owner response to a previous review that mentions poor service/attitude but it’s a pretty accurate reflection on how this place operates. The service is abysmal with rude staff who treat paying customers like an inconvenience. Yes yes I’m sure it’s all very nice with your regulars, etc but really you ought to treat all of your customers well. Overall an average, miserable little cafe.
