Nino's is the oldest, family-owned Italian Restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia. We provide a true classic and authentic Italian dining experience, thoughtfully prepared and attentively served. Nino's Cucina Italiana has a warm, welcoming setting that's perfect for family meals & gatherings. Parking is by valet only. No cash is accepted for bills. Nino's, opened in 1968, has been owned and operated by Antonio Noviello since 1982. Originally from the Amalfi Coast of southern Italy, Antonio worked in Monte Carlo, then Bermuda where he met his wife Helen, an Atlanta resident. After moving to Atlanta in 1981, Antonio's life-long dream of owning his own restaurant became a reality when he purchased Nino's. For more than forty-one years, Antonio has taken pride in serving authentic Italian Cuisine made with fresh, imported ingredients and cooked to order for each guest. In 2006 Antonio's middle daughter Alessandra became the manager and has since taken over with her husband Micah. Alessandra and Micah take pride in keeping the long-standing traditions and reputation of serving exceptional Italian cuisine alive. Nino's has attracted devoted locals who return time and again, along with a long list of who had heard of Nino's reputation and stopped in to sample the fare. Many of the dishes on Nino's menu are original recipes brought from Italy by Antonio and his brother Giuseppe. Antonio's favorite dishes are those named after his daughters, Gabriella, Alessandra, and Michela; his wife Elena (Helen); his brother Giuseppe; his brother-in-law Paola, and himself and the grandchildren. The pasta dish which bears the name of Nino's is a recipe from Mama Noviello. Antonio, Alessandra and Micah invite you to relax and savor some of the great culinary treasures of Italy in a memorable dining experience, at Atlanta's Oldest Italian Ristorante!

We weren’t going back after the last visit. Veal chop came out raw tonight as chicken piccata and pasta was cold after a very long wait we used to really enjoy Nino’s even had a rehearsal dinner here during Covid and a memorial dinner for our nephew. It’s a shame it’s not the same as it used to be and they don’t seem to care about their supporters. We donated to their servers they are or were family during Covid. Sasha was great as always.

We’ve driven by many times and were excited to try Nino’s. Unfortunately, all the reviews are very accurate when they say the service is poor and the food is average at best. The server we had rushed us a little, we were in and out in 30 minutes. The gnocchi was good but the red sauce could’ve come out of a jar. For the price I’d go somewhere else next time.

While I have had good experiences at Nino's in the past, this was not one of them. They were out of the salmon on the menu, and the food we had was average. The service was lacking. Additionally, when we arrived we saw the valet parking signs. I do not generally valet, as I have had a car wrecked by a valet before. We pulled over and called to understand if they are valet only and were told by the person who answered the phone they are valet only, or if you want to you can park on the side street. Unfortunately the side street isn't in the best neighborhood, and thus not a good option. We will not be returning to Nino's.

I've been going to Nino's for years. I will never, ever get tired of it. Their food is fantastic and the people that work there are just wonderful. Even though I went there three days ago, I am going back tonight and very joyful about it.

Dining at Niino’s is like stepping into another era altogether, this restaurant is a gem. It’s been many years since I’ve dined at Nino’s and I’m asking myself why? The food is excellent and the ambience great as well, we’re already planning our next visit.

We always enjoy the food at Nino's. Unfortunately, they always have too few servers. Therefore, we expect to spend additional time at Nino's but the food is worth it!

A pretty average old-school Italian meal served by a waiter who still thinks the surly old waiter in an Italian restaurant is okay. In 2024, it's just tired and impolite. Service was a bit slow, food was average and a little over salted. The ambiance in the new bar area is beautiful; such a disappointment to go into the main dining room and see brown walls and booths dating to 1977. Too many other good choices in town with profession servers to waste time/money here.
