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!

Some recipes, including the falafel, have been passed down for generations through Baum’s (our owner!) family and were first served at Rina’s own falafel stand in Israel in the 1950’s. No wonder she chose to name the restaurant after the women who embedded some of the fondest memories of her upbringing.

Chillllle…..FOOD is TRASH ! The wings was dry and overcooked , the Surf and Turf was chewy , Lobster tasted like it was cooked in the microwave . Then we tried the Higness… bland and dry , the rice tasted like it was cooked in water from the beach and the meat was tastless . Moving on to drinks … watered down! We paid $150 for 4 shots. Overall the ambiance was straight , expect a lot of smoke from weed . The hookah sucked too as there was no taste . The DJ and TVS is keeping this place alive . Won’t be returning
