5.0 of 5 stars. Nino's is the standard by which other Italian restaurants in Atlanta should be judged. Tucked away in a modest house on Cheshire Bridge Rd., Nino's offers a superb menu with enough old warm charm to…

4.0 of 5 stars. For a friend's b-day, she chose a special little place nestled amongst the peep shows and sex shops of Cheshire bridge...the old school Italian gem that is Nino's. Opened in 1968, it is Atlanta's…

Very Romantic Italian in Atlanta

Being the oldest in Atlanta, they have been doing something right. Service is very entertaining. The food is great. The low light and white linen make a very romantic evening. The wine list is limited but...

No Frills Italian

Traditional Italian cuisine, nothing fancy. Not the best I've ever had but not the worst either. Good service. Try one of their martinis, I hadn't heard of several of the vodkas.

I've eaten at Nino's a number of times and it keeps getting better. Try the mussels and calamari to start, they keep the calamri light by not frying it so much like other places do. The specials are always...

An absolute must!

Nino's is Atlanta's hidden gem where Italian is concerned. Tony and his staff are very personable and service oriented. The food is fabulous. Don't let the Cheshire Bridge location throw you off.
