Visita con amigos para el almuerzo. Tenía hongos rellenos seguidos de escalope de ternera con penne en salsa de tomate. No me apetecía desertar ya que estaba lleno. Gran servicio amable

First time at Nino’s and I enjoyed my experience there. As soon as I walked in I was immediately greeted and felt welcomed. Was shown to our seats and was served with bread and butter. The bread was warm and delicious and the butter was quite hard so it was difficult to spread on the bread but that doesn’t chance the overall quality of the food this place has provided. I ordered a spaghetti bolognese, the portion was good and it was filling. Came out really hot and the ratio with pasta and meat was amazing nicely balanced. My friend order the spicy garlic shrimp, that was lovely and they provided extra service by removing the shrimp shell! Very accommodating and pleasant. Overall a great experience with the service and food. :))

Una vez más, Nino's no decepcionó y estaban en plena 'canción' en la amistad, el servicio y la cocina. Visitamos este delicioso restaurante para una celebración tardía de cumpleaños. Al entrar, te sumerges en la cálida iluminación y los felices saludos de todos en Nino's. La música de fondo era suave y estableció el ambiente para una comida relajante y encantadora. Armados con un Aperol Spritz y un Pornstar Martini, hicimos nuestra selección de un menú muy amplio, especialmente cuando incluyes el tablero de sus especiales. Nosotros tres teníamos los mismos entrantes: Mango al Granchio, y fue perfecto en presentación y sabor; Nino's hacen lo mejor de la región. Para nuestra red: uno fue por el Gamberoni Linguine; otro, por la Saltimbocca y los costados; y yo fui por la Langosta. Una vez más, la preparación y presentación fueron impecables, con sabor y buena textura. Mi langosta estaba exquisita y preparada con lingüina y una salsa deliciosa que se había marinado en la langosta y pasta - brillante, y todavía estoy babeando - gracias, James. Esta perfección culinaria fue bautizada con un refrescante Orvieto Amabile: un blanco italiano con un toque de dulzura. Luego fuimos de postre: profiteroles y dos cucharadas de helado de chocolate con la adición de velas para la cumpleañera con el 'equipo Nino' cantando 'Feliz cumpleaños' con los peculiares sonidos del cuerno - encantador. Concluimos esta edificante experiencia gastronómica con té de limón, capuchino, americano negro y Sambucas negras. Además, los de cortesía de nuestros amables anfitriones. Y, James - propietario extraordinario - encontró tiempo para salir de la 'sala caliente' para una charla rápida con nosotros; siempre es genial ponerse al día con él. Una vez más, Nino ha alcanzado la estratosfera en excelencia gastronómica, servicio, charla y risas haciendo que nuestra experiencia gastronómica sea especial. Grazie Mille a todos en Nino's por un tiempo espléndido. Esperamos ponernos al día pronto. Hasta entonces, sigue sonriendo y sé feliz. Ciao.

We loved our late Sunday lunch visit to Nino's. White tablecloths, efficient friendly service and the food was exceptional. We all chose from the Specials board and were very glad we did, veal cutlet, lamb cutlets and prawn linguine. Nino's has the atmosphere of an up-market family Italian. It's busy and noisy. It's a very good place for lunch but it was full, so book a table! Highly recommended.

Excellent foor, super friendly staff and food is made from fresh ingredients which awesome it even better. Had to wait at least 10 minutes to eat as it was super hot 👌🏿👏🏿🙋🏿♂️ I would give them an 11 out of 10. So professional, we need more restaurants like this in our local community, it stops us for paying ridiculous prices for low quality food in Central London. Keep up the good work guys, it was a pleasure and you shall be seeing me soon..

I've been a loyal patron of Ninos for years, and it consistently delivers an unparalleled dining experience. From the moment you walk through the doors, the welcoming atmosphere and attentive staff make you feel like family. The service here is truly top-tier, always attentive and friendly, ensuring every visit is memorable. The food here is nothing short of sublime. Every dish is crafted to perfection, bursting with flavor and presented beautifully. Whether it's a special occasion or just a night out, the menu offers a variety of delectable options that never disappoint. What sets Ninos apart is the genuine warmth and hospitality of the staff. They go above and beyond to create a comfortable and inviting environment, making every guest feel special. It's rare to find a place where both the food and the service are exceptional, but Ninos consistently achieves this balance. If you're looking for a guaranteed wonderful time and a chance to enjoy quality food in a delightful setting, I highly recommend Ninos. It's a gem of a restaurant that never fails to impress, and I always leave with a smile on my face and plans to return soon.

Three of us invaded this wonderful restaurant last Sunday, and it was a great dining experience. We were greeted with customary warmth and shown to our table, and the welcome banter, chat, and laughter soon began. The decor remains unchanged: romantic lighting light-coloured tiles and walls. We perused their quite wide-ranging menu, especially when you include their specials' board, which should suit most palates. Armed with an Aperol Spritz and Pornstar Martini, and to the accompaniment of smooth background music and chat from diners already there, we made our selection. There were king prawns, and two went for the parma ham and melon; it was simply delicious and a great precursor to the main event. We all had the halibut in a butter-garlic sauce off their specials' board with sides; the flavour was truly sublime, and the fish was prepared to perfection: moist with a great texture. This culinary excellence was baptised with our favourite Italian white: Orvieto Amabile, which has a lovely bouquet and a hint of sweetness. Being inveterate gannets, we found room for dessert: apple tart drizzled with Amaretto, and a chocolate fondant - exquisite. We concluded this gastronomic delight with lemon tea, cappuccino, black Americano, and black Samubas - plus complimentary ones from our gracious hosts. Nino's is truly a benchmark in cuisine brilliance, friendship, and service. Our compliments to the talented chefs in the 'hot room', and a huge grazie mille to all at Nino's for the chat, laughter, and friendship. Until the next time, keep smiling and be safe. Ciao.

We have visited this restaurant on quite a few occasions and have been happy with our meal. Yesterday there were four of us and we ate from the fixed lunchtime menu. However this time not very happy with one of the main courses which was aubergines with mozzarella and tomato. It tasted very nice but this was a very small portion of food the size of which would have been adequate for a starter but certainly not a main course. I called the waiter over and told him that I thought the portion was very small for a main course but he didn’t seem to care and basically just walked away. Was not impressed.

The restaurant was nice inside (although could do with a re-paint) and the service was excellent, but the penne arrabbiata was horrifically spicy. I'm very good with spice but this was on another level and sadly I could only eat around one third the dish.

I haven’t ever written a review for an evening out before, but felt I had to this time as it was exceptional! It was for my husbands 60th birthday and I found this little gem of a restaurant through recommendation. I was surprising my husband so he knew nothing about this & I can honestly say he could not have been happier. We were a large group and the friendly staff helped me with all of the organising and preparation to ensure the night ran smoothly. Gaza & James organised a perfect set menu which had a number of fabulous choices of dishes for starter, main & dessert. Everyone commented how fabulous the food was. On the night Gaza & all of the staff looked after us throughout, it truly was a night to remember, and I am so grateful to the Nino’s team, what a great job! My only request would be please can you open another restaurant in Hornchurch:)))

A good first time experience at Nino's. Very friendly staff but not enough servers for a busy evening. We were going to order dessert but it just took too long. The food is good, portions on the smaller side and designed to go with starters and dessert for a full meal experience. It is a small place so we ended up being seated so close to the party next to us. Staff are polite and friendly, prices ok for the quality.

We three gluttoneers invaded this delightful eatery to celebrate my wife's, Angela's birthday last Tuesday night, and it was better than great. We were welcomed into an inviting ambience of romantic lighting, light tiles and coloured walls, and shown to our favourite window table. Amidst the polite murmer of chat and laughter from diners already there, and the lovely background music, accompanied with a perfectly concocted Aperol Spritz and a Pornstar Martini, we made our selection from a varied menu, especially when you include their specials' board. James, the proprietor extraodinaire, and the others made us feel right at home with the banter and laughter - great. We soon made our selection. All three of us went for the Mango al Granchio; Nino's do the best this side of Essex. There followed Involini Pescatrice, Saltimbocca Romana. and Linguini Gamberoni; all were faultlessly prepared and presented, and the flavour was astounding. This culinary perfection was baptised with a chilled Prosecco, and it truly woke your palate up. We then concluded this gastronomic extravaganza with a shared Apple Pie and ice cream with a surprise candle and team Nino's singing 'Happy Birthday' with their quirky horn - wonderful. We finished off with a lemon tea, black Americano, Cappuccino, and black Sambucas - plus complimentary ones from our gracious hosts - grazie mille! Yet again, Nino's have raised the benchmark in cuisine excellence, friendship, and laughter. Our compliments to the chefs in the 'hot room' for their artistry and kind attention, and a huge 'thank you' to all at Nino's for an uplifting dining and birthday experience. Until the next time, keep smiling and be happy, ciao.

Nino's is an exceptional local Italian restaurant. Everything is fine right here, the staff are always welcoming and friendly. The menu offerings look simple, but the preparation and execution of the meals is fantastic. Spaghetti Carbonara is the best I've had here. It is also always worth looking at the specials of the day, we often order our starters from it. The scallops we had last time were amazing. Everything is reasonably priced here and definitely offers great value. We're very fortunate to have such a great restaurant so close to us and already looking forward to our next meal there. If you're in town, give this place a try. You may find yourself returning again when you crave Italian food.

I thoroughly recommend this restaurant who have provided consistent welcoming service to friends & family for more than 5 years. They managed to accommodate our group around a single table setting even though since the initial booking our guest numbers grew from 11, to 12 and finally 13. Staff were very attentive and flexible. We were able to bring our own cake and incorporate this into the dessert service. Many thanks to the whole team!

Had lunch at Nino's, it was a pleasant experience the restaurant was clear and attractive and the staff was warm and welcoming. As it was a mid-week lunch it was quiet with attentive staff. We opt for the lunch menu you could get 2 courses for £19 or 3 course £23 - which is a great deal. I wasn't a fan of the calamari or mushrooms starter. As I felt the calamari was a bit oily and didn't particularly like the texture of the stuffed mushrooms. The main course was good portion size left feeling full. The Apple pie dessert was definitely the highlight it was delicious. For parking, we utilized Sainsbury's 2 hour free parking just across the road. All in all it was pleasant and if I was in the area I would go again - to see Saci and the team.

We three gluttoneers descended on this brilliant eatery on Sunday, and we weren't disappointed. The decor remains unchanged: romantic lighting, light tiles, and prints on the walls. You're always greeted warmly and shown to your table. But we've come to know them all at Nino's over the years, and it's like meeting friends, and we were soon made to feel right at home. The background music was at the right decibel level and pleasant. It was quite busy, and the hum from other diners already there created the right ambience. The chat and laughter soon began, and armed with a perfectly concocted Aperol Spritz and two Pornstar Martinis, we made our selection from a varied menu, especially when you include their specials' board. Our starters comprised of one Avocado and prawns, and two parma ham and melon dishes: the parma ham was a wonderful contrast to the sweetness of the melon and a great precursor to the mains; the avocado and prawns vanished in seconds, ably devoured by my sister. For our mains, we all went for the whole lobster linguine; it was fabulous in texture, freshness, and flavour, with the pasta having absorbed the sauce to perfection. This culinary delight was baptised with an Orvieto Amabile: a crisp, white Italian wine with a hint of sweetness that complemented our meal splendidly. We were just too full for dessert, so concluded this gastronomic debauchery with a Cappuccino, black Americano, and lemon tea with accompanying Sambucas. Plus complimentary ones from our gracious hosts. James, the proprietor extraordiaire found time to have a chat and share some laughter with us after his efforts in the 'hot room', and it was great catching up with him. But this is what makes Nino's so special: their friendliness, chat, and banter which uplifts your dining experience to the stratosphere. Grazie mille for an unforgettable dining experience, the chat and the laughter. Our compliments to the chef for all his artistry and effort, and to all at Nino's. Until the next extravaganza, keep smiling and be happy. Ciao.

We went to Nino’s last month and had a really delicious meal. We don’t visit this restaurant that often, but we received a warm welcome from the waiters there when we arrived. Whilst looking at the menu and the specials board I had a very well made Cosmopolitan cocktail whilst my other half had a gin and tonic. We then both had the mango granchio, which is a really tasty starter consisting of mango and fresh crab, which we had on a previous occasion and enjoyed so much we had already decided to have this again if it was on the menu this time. For our mains we had their Involini Pescatrice and a Abbacchio Forno, which once again were delicious. I then had my favourite ice cream which is rum and raisin, which we shared and then from our window table we then did a spot of people watching whilst finishing off our bottle of chardonnay. It’s a touch expensive, but the food that you get is really good and I can highly recommend that you visit.

Firstly the food was excellent however, the restaurant automatically charges a 12.5% service charge. With Karen mode engaged, I must say this is a massive shame as dining at the restaurant, including the not so cheap imbibing of beverages should be enough of a monetary reward. I fully understand this seems to be a trend these days but it really doesn't take into account people's circumstances (what's to say someone hasn't saved up for a meal as a once a month or indeed yearly treat). I also understand that such a charge can be challenged however, patrons shouldn't have to do this in a public arena and made to feel awkward and that they are being difficult. A service charge or "tip" should be based on subjective circumstances and of course the subjective experience of the patron at the restaurant: this isn't the USA and if staff are relying on the service charge to top up their wages then this is worrying in the extreme. So just to confirm, fantastic food but the service charge clearly is an issue for this Karen.

Was treated to dinner there by my visiting mother-in-law. I ordered the linguine with steak slices with mushrooms and cream, whereas my wife had duck breast with orange and veg, and my mother-in-law had the spaghetti marinara (with seafood). Food was exquisite, great pasta with oh-so-soft steak slices. The other two also loved but their dishes, but unfortunately, couldn't finish (I'm a big eater). However, they had space for dessert (don't they always), so they had apple pie and crème brulée, followed by a cappuccino for wifey and a limoncello for myself. Great food, very friendly waiters and a lovely little restaurant overall. Only criticism from wifey: smaller portions for the mains and bigger portions for dessert 😜

On a cold, snow-bound Wednesday night, we three gluttoneers bravely journeyed to this delightful eatery. The welcome and chat warmed the winter chill from our bones. The decor remains unchanged: romantic lighting and inviting background music. We were shown to a window table - just right. Armed with a perfectly concocted Aperol Spritz and a Pornstar Martini, we made our selection from a varied menu, especially when you include the specials' board. Our selection consisted of scallops and bacon, avocado and prawns, and mussels in a Pernod sauce; all were perfectly prepared and delicious. Our mains were as good: halibut with trimmings, and two of us went for the gamberone linguine; the taste was an explosion on the palate. This culinary delight was christened with a superb Orvieto Amabile: a brilliant Italian white with a crisp and slightly sweet taste. One of us found room for profiteroles. We concluded this gastronomic extravaganza with black Sambucas, black coffee, lemon tea, and a cappuccino. We then had complimentary ones from our gracious hosts - grazie mille. We were then presented with a gift of a bottle of our favourite wine - perfetto. It's the friendship, chat, and laughter that elevates our dining experience at Nino's. Our heartfelt compliments to their talented chefs, and we wish you all Buon Natale and Buon Anno. Keep smiling and be safe. Until next time, ciao.

The food was very good - classic Italian - and the wine and the service were excellent! For a Wednesday night the place was packed which must tell you something! How ever the bill was horrendous! £300 for 2 of us!! (must have been the wine)!! Will save up and go again!!

Great atmosphere but food was over priced, under seasoned and not as described on the menu. Service was ok. Was sat at the table and given a drinks menu, but no food menu for about 30 minutes. Had calamari to start which was so stringy I almost chocked 3 times, it tasted like frozen calamari that you would buy in a supermarket and I left more than half. There was no seasoning or flavour at all. I ordered the steak pasta for my main, however it had only one piece of steak (that was tiny, about 3cm) - I raised this with the waiter who asked ‘are you sure you ordered steak pasta’ and then said he would speak to the kitchen but never came back and nothing was done. The flavour of the dish was lovely, but I paid £18.50 for a steak pasta with no steak? They also take a £20pp deposit on booking, which of course comes off the bill at the end but £20 is a high deposit when most places are £10. I wouldn’t go back and don’t recommend.

Had a lovely meal here. Food was really good and the service was excellent. I recommend you go before 9pm though as it gets really busy after that and the music get's pumped up and the Younger ones start to party. Not that it bothers me but if ur just out for a meal with ur partner and wanna a chill night then book table for 7 or 8pm or maybe go during the week.

We three gluttoneers descended on this brilliant eatery, and we weren't disappointed. We're always welcomed with such friendliness that we feel right at home in no time. With laughter and banter in full flow, we were shown to our favourite window table. The decor remains...

So refreshing to experience really amazing service. As soon as anything was required, the waiters were on hand... such pros. Waiting on is a lost art in London and we felt very lucky to be there. The restaurant was cool in the heat and air...

Staff are very friendly, great atmosphere and fantastic food! Definitely recommend to anyone! Only thing that could be improved is having vegan options listed on menu rather than having to request/ask.

For me the star of the dish were the lamb cutlets with the mint sauce. The meat was cooked to absolute perfection and it’s one of the few places where the lamb melted in my mouth. For starters we tried the prawns, bruschetta and the mushrooms filled with veal meat which were all a bit underwhelming. Overall I feel like there was lack of seasoning for my liking however the meat was cooked with a lot of care. You should definitely go an try this place at least once though as it seems to be quite popular with the locals. For me it’s a 3.5/5.

Visited Nino’s for dinner on the 10.06.22 with a good friend. We both loved the place. Staff are amazing including the owner who made us the most delicious cocktails. The 80s music was on point and the vibe was just perfect. Best food ever.

Amazing food, friendly, cheerful and quick service, and good atmosphere. Everything was great from the food to the service to the wine. Crispy garlic bread and garlic prawns were delectable and still thinking about it a few days later. A true independent ran restaurant with so much charm. Got there at 5:45 on Saturday for first seating and the whole restaurant was full at 6.

A cosy Italian tucked round the corner. We stepped in and were treated to a lively buzz if conversation. We waited about 30 seconds for waitress to seat us and provide menus. This was the standard menu and a small but delightful specials. Within a few minutes we were asked if we wanted drinks whilst considering the menu and these also arrived quickly. I can't comment on the main menu as we were both enticed by the specials and had a prawn sharing platter to start followed by a seafood linguine. Yhe prawns were large, sift and succulent. Half in a thin filo pastry cooked just right and the other half I a light delicate crispy tempura batter tempting another bite with each crunch. The linguine arrived after a nice interval. Black pepper and parmesan were then offered. The linguine was beautifully cooked with a nice bite but not raw. The cooking juices/sauces mixed with the cheese to provide an exquisite texture of creamy luxury and shellfish flavour to create a wholesome and complete dish. The bowls were scraped clean
