    Our soft drinks (Pepsi and Dr. Pepper) both tasted like chlorine or soap or some cleaning agent. Had to just drink water. The calamari was a little too heavily breaded and a bit overcooked. The rack of lamb was awesome as was the chicken Alfredo. Our server was exceptional and showed great talent and artistry with our anniversary dessert.

    We took our daughter here for a special dinner at parents weekend at ECU the food was great and the service wonderful. We all had pasta, Spaghetti with meatballs, mushroom ravioli , and rigatoni with vodka sauce. We also had specialty cocktails , the bar area looked very nice too , the only area of improvement would be the calamari was a little over fried but otherwise 5 stars all around - did I say the service was great

    Our app came out the cheese and sliced meat- gorgeous board and was totally enjoying it - about 5 mins later our entrees came out! My white truffle paprdelle was horrendous. Highly recommend the chicken parm My other daughter hated her meal too thought it was gonna be made in the Parmesan cheese well

    Food and service were excellent. Saltimbocca with vegetables was sublime. Several large groups seated near us, plus we were next to the bar…lots of loud, raucous conversations which made it impossible to converse. So we spent my birthday dinner smiling and nodding at each other.

    Nino’s is always a perfect dining experience from beginning to end. Plenty of variety on the menu, and every dish is excellent. Great wine list and delicious desserts. The atmosphere is lively without being loud, and we love the outdoor seating option. Service is always impeccable. Greenville’s best restaurant!

    Best Italian food anywhere in NC and the best restaurant in Greenville. Nino's has both a "neighborhood gathering place" feel and a semi-upscale fine dining atmosphere. Great place for drinks after work, a place to entertain and impress out-of-town guests or dinner with family and friends. It's impossible to leave hungry, and I've never had anything there that I didn't love.

    The food is very good and it’s a good place to go. The only problem I have is when you buy an alcoholic beverage the amount is so little that you are paying a high price for a taste. When I say a taste it’s a taste. To get a full glass you have to buy about 3 drinks and that’s ridiculous. I love coming to this spot but if I can’t have more instead of less when I purchase an alcoholic beverage I may need to reconsider my options and go somewhere else. I like to get my moneys worth and not rob with measuring out drinks. If it got to be measured then you all don’t need to serve it. The big ice cube in the glass is more than your drink you get . I like to taste my alcohol and the amount is so small I can’t even tell it’s there. I bought an Ameretto Sour and when I removed the block of ice if I had an inch of drink in the glass you could have fooled me. All the glass and a drop of drink. But when I seen somebody else glass same size as mine at the bar it was full to the top. I guess it’s different strokes for different folks. So sad I am truly disappointed.

    I waited 48 minutes wondering where my food was. In the meantime, I was so irritated I lost my appetite. I cancelled my order. Our waitress was missing in action, walking by us constantly going to other tables but ignoring us. Won't be going back. This isn't the first time something like this has happened there.

    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.

    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.
