    Cheese Pie Slice
    Michael D.

    Being a long-time fan of the Nino's Coal-Fired Pizza restaurant(s), I was eager to try Nino's Bistro Express once I passed it several weeks ago and found myself drawn in by the modern style of the window signage and lights. Upon passing Nino's Bistro Express for probably the third time I impulsively visited to try two slices prior to dinner, as I typically have a late lunch. What I didn't expect was to try every single slice of pizza on the counter, sans the Bella Bianco, and have that be my dinner for the night just because I enjoyed the first two slices so much. I'm happy to report that all of the slices were varying shades of excellent, as was the garlic knot. I was particularly fond of a thin square Margherita-style slice, which used an extremely high-quality mozzarella. The chicken on the buffalo chicken pie, which was artfully done, was higher quality than average. Even the red pepper flakes seemed larger and better than the typical shaker. Square pizza is admittedly my favorite style, and the Sicilian was also quite unique: crispy dough, interestingly browned on top, with the airy texture that it's supposed to have. The sauce and cheese were in a top league for this. Even the cheese pie was a great value for the quality. Every pizza had signs of freshness and quality, with incredible dough that the menu mentions is imported from Italy. Despite utilizing more conventional ovens rather than the coal-fired ovens that this once local chain of restaurants is known for, the pizza had a crispy exterior and pleasantly large air bubbles. In fact, I think I prefer this style of pizza to the coal-fired personally, which is saying a lot since many coal-fired pizza restaurants are ranked as some of the best in the world for their oven. The flavor, portion, and quality of toppings made each pizza worth trying. They were also all completely different from what I'm used to at the Brick location, in a good way. Service was friendly and served each slice with a smile. Efficient too, as I saw other customers that were in and out with a hot slice of pizza within a minute or so. It's slightly small inside, which fits the Bistro Express style, although they do serve their entire dinner menu as well. Nino's Bistro Express may just be the best Nino's concept yet, with a phenomenal variety of high-quality pizza and a more price-conscious menu.

    Wow wow wow! The food!…read more The presentation! The ambiance (gentle lighting, semi formal, but cozy)! The service! I was beyond impressed. The food exceeded my expectations entirely. This place was quiet at 5:30 on a Sat night. At 6pm a party of 4 came in and at 6:30 a party of 2 came in. I don't know how this place was not PACKED because this food is INCREDIBLE! Truly. This gem is hidden away in a plaza right off of the highway. The chef is also the waiter, and likely the owner. You can tell he takes pride is his food and knows exactly what he is doing in the kitchen. Although we don't eat meat, both the lamb and chicken specials sounded delicious and I am sure they are! Do yourself a favor and have an incredible meal here. This guy deserves to have a line out of the door!

    I can see why the place was empty on a Monday evening when I arrived. The server who apparently is…read morethe cook as well was pretty slow and not very attentive despite the fact that I was the only one there, likely for the last few hours. Before I left, there was a couple who came in who he badgered loudly when they asked him for suggestions. He's definitely not a people person. He does a better job being in the back of the house as the food was grilled well. I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and tried something different that I wouldn't normally gravitate towards. Lamb is not my favorite but I ordered it anyway despite coming in for the salad. I also had the lime and mint drink. Pretty expensive for a small glass and no refills. The food wasn't worth the price and the service was poor. I literally had to go to the back to ask him for extra napkins which he eventually took from an adjacent empty table. Did I mention the place was empty for most the of the time I was there? I also had to get up and go to the back to ask for more water and finally for the check. He was busy washing dishes the last time. Glad I tried something different but next time I do it won't be at cafe 28.
