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.

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.

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.

    We had a great time at Madre Selva celebrating Valentine's Day weekend! The food and drinks were exceptional, service was outstanding, our server Jenny was amazing and made great recommendations on food and drinks. This is the first Peruvian restaurant I have been to here in Atlanta that actually serves Classic Picarones

    We really enjoyed Grana! Food was excellent. We ordered the garlic bread, the hot honey pepperoni pizza, and the rigatoni pasta. All three dishes were excellent! All were served quickly even though the restaurant was packed. Our server was so sweet and attentive. We will definitely be back!

    Service is always exceptional! Food tasted great as usual. Only issue we had was one of the plates ordered was steak and lobster but only lobster was served. Chef said it was noted as only lobster. All in all there was so much food we all got more than enough. We were celebrating a birthday and they brought a special dessert with waiters singing. Overall we had a great time as always!

    My husband and myself had not been since our anniversary, so the renovations took us by surprise. The blue and white tile with the lemon décor made you feel like you were visiting someone on the Amalfi Coast. The food as always is top tier. The treatment from the time you walk through the door until you leave is unmatched. Places like Nino's are the reason we decided to live in the city. It is a part of the neighborhood. It provides warmth and a sense of comfort to the guests. It is a part of the community.
