Fantastic meals in a beautiful space. Our only complaint is that we were seated a long time before a drink order was taken and a long time to receive them. Food came out super fast and was incredible. We tried many things and I would order them all again!

About the restaurant

Nino’s Cucina Italiana is a tribute to our father, Nino. He still travels constantly to all the locations to make sure everything is done “Nino’s Way,” with quality food, personality, and love.

Over 75 years of an Italian family tradition in baking and cooking from three generations has culminated in Nino’s Cucina Italiana. Our Italian dishes are centuries old recipes handed down from our family throughout the years. We prepare all our food daily—making fresh dough, sauces, mozzarella cheese, pasta and our delicious meatballs in-house.

The pistachio pesto ravioli with grilled shrimp may be a meal I’ll dream about from now on. Absolutely amazing! All of our meals were good, but I won with the ravioli!!!

About the restaurant

Since 1995, we have been proudly serving the locals, students and visitors to Chapel Hill. A lot has changed in both our town and the craft beer industry since we opened our doors as the culmination of a business school plan I wrote my senior year at UNC. Today, we celebrate our North Carolina roots with a made-from-scratch menu focused on Carolina foods in a newly renovated building. I hope you enjoy a true Carolina experience here at Carolina Brewery and will look for our award winning beers on your travels throughout the Carolinas.
Cheers,

Visited with 6 people, and every one of us was very impressed with our meals. I had one of their seasonal specials, the chipotle smash burger. It was excellent! Casual atmosphere and a great place in general. I will be returning!

Veggie tacos were good and decent price but the meat and seafood items seemed overpriced but in full disclosure I did not order them. Service was great and the place is gorgeous. However, the music was this awful fake pop music (re-recorded pop songs, so not by original artists) and there were commercials that played in between some songs as well. It was very distracting and given the price point of the restaurant, off-putting.
