Our family had a delicious Easter dinner here. As we bid farewell to a wonderful restaurant that has provided good food, attentive service, and wonderful memories to us over the past 10 years, we wish Nino and his family well as they move on to new adventures.

The closing of Nino's is a great loss to the community. It has been our go-to restaurant for years, with excellent food and service. All the best to Nino and his staff.

This was our last visit before Nino's closes after April 20 dinner service. Went there 4 times in the last 10 days. The pastas were wonderful, the tuna tartar and brussels sprouts were hits, the wine and cocktails were good, etc. And the place was a madhouse. 10 years of grateful customers all trying to get in a final meal, and spend some time with the Nino family. But the kitchen and FOH all managed to minimize delays. And of course we got to talk to Nino -- an element missing from a lot of restaurants these days. He is there, in constant motion in the dining room, tending to all the diners. We are really going to miss this place.

Dinner a sad farewell to a friend and a long-standing favorite. Several meat dishes had run out, but we made the most with superb grilled veal chops. Food was outstanding. The carbonara made as it should be -- with a crema but no panna Good service. And warm greeting and farewells with Nino. He was always a master of Italian hospitality. He and his family and the Osteria will be missed. Cent'anni, Nino.
