What a delight it is to have gone to Nino's again : the specials board was as delightful as the inter-mingling the sweets menu - The ambience, the staff, the cuisine and Nino. We are just so lucky to have all 3 parts of Nino's in Pangbourne (along with a couple of other outstanding restautants and deli's)

The waitressing staff where very young and provided an excellent service, which was great to see based on their young age. I ordered Italian Garlic bread with added Mozzarella. It was one of the best garlic breads I have tasted in a restaurant. I then ordered chicken breast with mascarpone, marsala wine and mushrooms plus ordered a side dish of fried courgettes. This dish was tasty and quite light, so leaving the table feeling very comfortable...

Every time I go, it’s a fantastically warm welcome ant Nino’s in Pangbourne and I always look forward to eating there. The food, the staff, the ambiance and even the decor all add up to a great experience that has us returning time and time again. Well done Nino Junior for taking over your father’s legacy and making it even more memorable.

This is a super little neighbourhood Italian restaurant. I wish there was one near where I live as I think I'd be in here all the time! Food was great - particularly enjoyed the seafood which tasted super fresh. Charming helpful and warm service, lovely decor and good lighting. What more could you want? I see they have a deli and cafe over the road which I'll definitely be visiting in the next couple of weeks! Do pop in - delight is guaranteed!

Delicious food, warm welcome from the staff and lovely atmosphere. My wife and I shared a burrata with roasted courgettes as the starter. She had a risotto for main and I had a calzone - everything was cooked perfectly and presented beautifully. It was a pleasure going here and their deli across the street does fantastic cannoli! Highly recommended.

This seemed a fairly nice place with good staff. The coffee was rather bland however. At least they take cash, none of the "card only" snobbery you get in some well to do places. It was quite popular and the food looked nicely presented.

Not a good experience as the other reviews. Had a table outside for dinner. We had: Olives Bruschetta Caprese Salad Veal Milanese Sea Bass Was quite disappointed with overall taste of the food. Not overly seasoned, no depth and quite plain. For example, the bruschetta was missing garlic, the tomatoes had no flavour and no seasoning. The veal breadcrumb was unseasoned, just plain breadcrumb and the tomatoe sauce to go with the spaghetti was bland. The waitress was very attentive and welcoming. I wouldn't come back as it was expensive for a bland meal.

Food was absolutely amazing - 3 of our party had steak which was delicious and beautifully cooked. The sea bass was perfect and along with the sides and fab cocktails - Ninos as usual lived up to expectation. Nino & his team were discreetly attentive, timings were just right and the atmosphere- as usual - friendly and fun! Can’t wait to go back….thank you Nino! X

Lovely family run Italian trattoria . I came here for a early dinner with my daughter. We hadn’t booked a table, but they squeezed us in.

Highly recommended.

We’ve been going to Nino’s for years and have NEVER been disappointed by our meal: everything is freshly and beautifully cooked (it’s one of the very few places I am confident to eat shellfish!) and the menu is exactly the right size - plenty of choice without being overwhelming, as so many places are. Since the Covid problem, Nino has managed to keep the cosy trattoria feeling by dividing the tables from one another with screens and wood effect screening, which does the job beautifully and without feeling claustrophobic. What’s more, he and his staff wear masks/visors, which is reassuring and courteous to their customers - unlike several places we’ve been to lately where the waiting staff wore neither and were happy to lean across us in unnerving fashion. Nino’s is the best Italian restaurant for us and for many we know - a credit to Nino himself, his staff and to Pangbourne.

Trulytime . 2020-09-18

To start I will touch on how well Nino’s are dealing with COVID. This is by far the best restaurant I have been too during the pandemic in terms of being COVID safe. Upon arrival, you wait outside to be shown to your table. There is hand sanitiser by the door, as well as on every single table. Each waiter/ waitress are wearing a visor. Menus have been changed, they’re now plastic and are wiped after every use. There are also large screens in between every single table, which not only prevent spread but also makes it feel more private and quiet in your own table. The toilets have a light system to signal when they are in use or unoccupied. In terms of food, I can never fault Nino’s. For my starter I had the meatballs (polpette). The portion was massive (which is always a bonus) and it was brilliant. It’s worth mentioning that every portion was a very good size, but if you have a small appetite it is possible to order small portions. For main I had the chicken leg in a white wine sauce. The chicken fell off the bone and overall was a very nice dish. One of my family members had the veal main (not the Milanese) and that was even better. Overall I couldn’t fault the food at all. The service was attentive and friendly as always. We have very specific needs as a family, with two of us being gluten intolerant and another two lactose intolerant. However they’re always happy to change the dishes to suit us. In summary, if you’re concerned about COVID and want to visit somewhere that follows the regulations, is concerned with their customers safety, has great food and friendly service, this is a great place to go.

We only stopped for coffee on a sunny morning to enjoy the small outside area.However, I was struck by the work the 2 staff were doing on the plastic menus. The menus were being sanitised sprayed and wiped. But this wasn't just waving a cloth around in a cursory fashion. This was a comprehensive spraying with an energetic rubbing. Real hard and conscientious work which indicates how seriously this business takes its responsibilities to everyone.It was reassuring to see, and I will return with confidence to dine, etc. Many thanks to all at Ninos.

We visited with our children last week and the food was absolutely delicious and service equally as lovely. Covid mesures have been taken very seriously with partitions put up between tables. The whole experience was safe, family friendly and delicious.I last remember visiting Ninos with my grandparents in Reading when I was younger. Pleased to say it was equally lovely as it was then.

This is one of our favourite restaurants. Last Saturday evening was the first time we had visited since they re-opened after lockdown, and we felt really happy with the precautions that are in place re Covid. The tables are well placed, and they have put transparent-topped screens in place between tables that don't interfere too much with the ambience. Staff as welcoming and friendly as we have come to expect, and food as good as ever.

My first meal at Nino’s was not a disappointment in the slightest. The food was incredible, it was so easy to tell how fresh it was and the garlic butter dip was outstanding. I will definitely be returning very soon.

After a couple of drinks in a friends' garden, the intention had been to pop out to get some fish and chips. However seeing that Nino's was open again my friends and I stopped here instead. We were glad we did. In the distant pre-lockdown days I'd heard good things about it but never been. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The whole social distance / covid set up was very good. The food (we all had pasta dishes) was excellent and the house white was certainly very drinkable. Coffees, limoncellos all good too. Definitely the right decision to stop by. Recommended.

You could not get a better Italian restaurant. The welcome is immense, the staff are friendly and professional and very family orientated. If you love authentic Italian food then this place is definitely for you, I cannot rate it high enough. They cater for all food types, carnivores, pasta lovers, pizza lovers, pescatarians, vegetarians and vegans. All the food is excellent, I would personally recommend any of the pasta dishes and my wife loves the swordfish. Oh and if you have the chance to try a cheesecake special, i promise you, you will never have tasted a lighter fluffier cheesecake in your life. Go there, you will not be disappointed...

I had a wonderful experience at Valle Doro in Newbury. The Italian food was exceptional, and the staff went above and beyond by making a room reservation for me, ensuring my visit from Florida was seamless. Highly recommend this place for authentic cuisine and excellent hospitality!
