   Ninos offers white tablecloth, service paired with excellent food. The service was impeccable. My spaghetti Limone had perfectly cooked seafood, as well as a delicious sauce. My husband‘s dinner was equally delicious. This would be a special place for an anniversary or birthday.

   Arrived at 7:55 to our 8PM reservation. It was thirty minutes to be seated even though we were told we would be seated “in a few minutes”. After being seated we were promptly greeted by Olivia our waitress who got our drink order. Shortly afterwards we ordered our food. Everything was fine until the main course. We ordered 2 entrees, we received an entree split two ways and were told that is what we thought you ordered. When we informed and reminded her that was not what we ordered to begin with. After being informed that the order was wrong when we got to paying for our meal we were additionally charged for the entree being split that we didn’t order that way. We have been going here for months we love the food, but this was the worse experience in regard to service.

   Arrived right at our reservation time of 7:45pm, told to wait as our table was not ready. We were finally seated at 8:05, very delayed table service with over 10 minute wait just to get drinks. Then another 10-15 minute wait to get calamari appetizer which was overcooked. Entrees finally arrived to the table at 9:10pm, after we were told at 8:50 the kitchen had messed up the order and it was being re-fired. Pasta was good, food could have used more seasoning as the flavors were bland. Overall, experience was OK as we drove 1.5 hours based off a good friends recommendation who lives in Greenville. Will likely not return as my wife was not very impressed with her Mother's Day dining experience.

   Although my husband’s family has lived in Greenville their whole lives and we visit regularly, this was our first time trying Nino’s. We were not disappointed. Our party of 4 was seated promptly at our reservation time, our waitress was friendly and checked on us regularly and we all ordered different entrees and each loved what we had. Prices are in line with any higher end restaurant and portions were good. Only one of us was actually able to clean their plate. We have already requested to go back next time we are in town.

   We return to Ninos on a regular basis. This visit was to celebrate a friend’s birthday. It was a great time and they brought the birthday girl a dessert to top it off!

   Great appetizer, entrées & desserts! Our friends hadn’t eaten here before & thoroughly enjoyed it! Thanks for having outdoor dining for those of us still Covid cautious due to underlying health issues. Only complaint is please bring back table side Parmesan wheel. Thanks!

   We went as a celebration for my daughter passing the HESI exam. Definitely glad we made a reservation. Happy we were able to sit outside on the patio. Would absolutely go again.

    Food was great! I payed for the meal using cash but wanted to give tip using card. To do this the waiter had to charge me with a sweet tea and I think there could have been a better way to pay tip by card. All together though, great experience like always!

    The restaurant looks really beautiful. The setting is very romantic and also really nice to just sit outside when it is warm. We were not the biggest fans of their way to make a bruschetta but our main dishes were really good. Will go there again.

    My white sauce pasta was very good with seafood; but the red sauce pasta my son got was awful. TOOO... much red sauce, and not really sauce--just tomato paste it appeared. The sweet waitress was a bit "valley girl" for us, and scattered so not really great service; but she was sweet. The ambiance is good; but the portions are huge, and that's not so fun when the food is not good. Choose wisely--look around before ordering.

    Food was tasty. Service was fine. We felt a little rushed. Waitress wasn't especially friendly but adequate. The atmosphere is very nice. I liked that there was live music but it wasn't so loud that you couldn't have a conversation with your table mates.

    Quiet dinner for two. We were seated in a quiet corner by the windows. Our sever was attentive and answered our questions regarding the food choices and wine. We had the calamari as an appetizer, the caprese & spinaci salads, wild mushroom ravioli and rack of lamb for our entrees. All the dishes were prepared and served well. A great experience!

    This was our first but certainly not our last time at Ninos. We are from Ny and this is the closest thing to the Italian food that we are used to that we have found in Greenville. The service was amazing, our server Emma was spot on. I had pasta, the husband had pork chop. Both delicious! The calamari appetizer was also wonderful. The only downside was that it was a little expensive, but I’ll pay for good Italian any day.

    Mocktails were bitter, calamari was okay, Alfredo pasta was swimming in sauce and a little bland, second pasta was dry and did not like breaded chicken, did not feel like it was worth the price. However our server Isabelle (I believe that was her name) was GREAT and she was the best part of the experience.

    I like going to Nino's. I tried something new this time and was disappointed in my choice. It just wasn't what I wanted. And the sweet, iced tea was not very strong. Service was as always, great.

    Reservation was ready with no waiting and food was very good. Server was very nice, but for 2nd visit in a row, the quality of service not quite to the level of the pricing of the menu. If that makes sense. No wine taste, just poured. No spoon for pasta, no clearing of finished drinks or plates for long stretches. None of these things are major, just noticeable from someone who used to be in the industry.

    We dined at Nino's in Greenville tonight. On arrival they seated us pretty quickly (We arrived about 20 minutes before our reservation). Initial impressions were NOT good. They sat us RIGHT next to a large family with young boisterous children despite empty tables evident in all directions. Our menus were soiled with food film smears on the outside and greasy fingerprints on the paper inside. The restaurant was freezing. A bartender (I think) was repeatedly tossing empty bottles into a trash can or something so there was a periodic loud glass crash. Being an old curmudgeon I of course had to of course complain. The manager came over and apologized and the noise stopped. Temporarily. Until the bartender forgot and did it again. I had hoped to get the (recommended) Pork Ossobuco, but it was not on the menu tonight and was probably a special. I inquired about it and the waitress replied "What is ossobuco?" She then brought us a bread service of four VERY oily soft squares of focaccia which were really delicious. I know now where the greasy fingerprints on the menus came from. My wife ordered chicken parmesan and thought the flavor was good, but the chicken breast was a little chewier than expected. It was served with spaghetti and was a large portion. I ordered spinach pappardelle with a wonderfully rich and creamy burrata and white truffle sauce topped with blackened shrimp. This dish was VERY good and I'd order it again if we return. The shrimp were cooked perfectly... just the right complement to the delicious sauce. We enjoyed a bottle of Nino's Falanghina, a white wine somewhere in the ballpark of an albariño or sauvignon blanc. It was very good and was a good value. It paired very well with the meals. We passed on dessert but there were several interesting options. All in all, I truly enjoyed my meal and would order it again. My wife felt that the chicken parmesan was pretty pedestrian and was no better than we can make at home or get in

    This was our first visit to this restaurant after recently moving to the area. We were greeted by a very pleasant hostess who sat us at a table which had food stains all over the tablecloth. It was not clear to us that it was changed between customers. We should have asked for another table but instead asked for clean napkins to be put over the stains. We also thought about leaving but instead decided to stay to see if the service and food surpassed this unpleasant introduction. Suffice it to say that the service and food did exceed our expectations. Their food was better than most of the Italian restaurants we have visited in the NY area. The prices pretty much made sense except for the alcohol (they charged an extra fee for "ice"). Anyway, we plan to give it another try......
