Best Italian Restaurant in Atlanta

Hugh & Spoon

Came here for a team dinner and it delivered. Rigatoni Enzo: tender lamb meatball, incredibly flavorful, not dry at all. Rich red sauce w/ perfectly cooked rigatoni. Freshly grated parmesan tying everything together beautifully. Comforting but still refined. Chicken Parmigiano: classic, well-executed, satisfying. ... Clean flavors, balanced sauce and cheese. Melted perfectly. Plates wiped clean. Mussels & Calamari: fresh, well-seasoned, great starters. Bright, savory, nicely prepared. Portions slightly smaller than expected, but still generous enough and very satisfying. Valet $5: absolutely worth it. Ambience: polished and professional, yet intimate enough for a romantic evening. Old-school charm. Classic Italian atmosphere. Oldest Italian restaurant in Atlanta (57–58 years) – you can feel the legacy. Looking forward to coming back and exploring more of the menu. Read More

The food was delicious I highly try the spaghetti service was quick and fast the atmosphere was also very chill and very quiet but not to quiet the price was not as high as I expected it to be. Overall five stars i highly recommend Nino’s restaurant.

I went to Nino’s the other night for a quiet date night and we have a lovely time. For some reason it had been a long time since my last visit but I found it just as nice as I’ve always remembered it to be. It’s not at all pretentious and is a nice part of my memory of growing up in Atlanta - it’s a good, solid, ... old-fashioned red-sauce Italian restaurant. It’s not dressy, but it’s still white tablecloth and has some great staff. I had a veal special that I loved and my husband had the gnocchi in bolognese. We had escargots and fried cheese to start and an almond cake to finish - everything was very good. In summary, I was really happy to find this old classic was still a solid choice and I’m looking forward to putting it back in the rotation. Read More

We were the final table to get seated at Nino’s this past week. Came in a little late but we’re looking to celebrate with some friends. The service was excellent in a way that you kind of forget about sometimes. They weren’t asking us how are meal was every 5 minutes, they knew the menu like they grew up reading it, ... they were warm and funny. Nino’s is the kind of place you walk into and it feels like everyone there is family and they’ve all been there 15+ years. They were cleaning up as we were leaving and we saw one of the floor staff bring some wine pours back to the kitchen and heard some big laughs — It’s nice to know all the people who work there care for each other. My group wasn’t drinking this night cause we drove so I won’t speak on the wine. The food was phenomenal. We started with calamari, fried Motz and a caprese salad. Great, light starters perfectly portioned before the entrees. Entrees: Capellini Elena, creamy, shrimp done perfectly. Well proportioned. Had everyone trying to get a bite off my plate. Loved the dining experience, will be back with more friends again soon. I think we spent ~180 for 3 people with 3 apps, 3 entrees, 1 glass of red. Read More
