We made a reservation for Sunday evening. The restaurant was full of customers at 5:45 pm. They gave us a lovely booth. The waiter was amazing. Do not fill up on the delicious garlic bread, the servings are huge. I ordered eggplant parmigan and my friend has chicken parmigan. Dinner came with salad or soup, we had the nice fresh crispy salad with their homemade salad dressing. The eggplant was served in at least 5 layers of eggplant baked to perfection. The service was exceptional. The chicken was very tender and moist. I could not finish the pasta. I wish we had room for desser5. The price was sooo reasonable. The ambiance was lovely, low lighting and nice decor. read more

This review is not about the food but rather the business practice of the establishment. I have been going to Nino's for years and have enjoyed the food and occasionally the service (some servers not so happy). I sent the below letter to Nino's management, twice, which has gone unanswered. Perhaps they'd prefer I share it with others considering visiting their restaurant. here goes... Dear Owner of Nino's, It distresses me to write this letter of complaint as over the many years of dining at Nino's I have had pleasant experiences. On Wednesday evening my wife, two of our friends and I dined at a rather quiet Nino's. When deciding what to have for dinner I recommended the veal chop, certainly my favorite dish at Nino's over the years. While I hadn't ordered it on more recent visits (we are full-time residents here), I was really in the mood and even convinced my friend to order one as well. I have seen the price creep up over the years so the $32 price on the menu didn't scare me. When the server took our orders, she told us that the chops "were very large" and I told her that I have had them previously and was aware. The dishes arrived and as usual we enjoyed the meal immensely, as usual. When the check came, I looked at the bill and noticed that we had been charged $42.95 for each of the two chops so after the server's eventual reappearance I asked why the price was different than the menu. She said, "I told you that they were large and more". Four of us simultaneously told her that she never said "and more" although she insisted she did! I asked how she could be right and the four of us wrong and she again insisted "I told you". Had she said, "and more" that would have prompted the questions, "and more what?" or, if it was understood that she was talking about the price, "how much more?". Well, neither of those questions had been asked since she never said and more. We then asked why she didn't offer us the smaller (menu price $32) chop and she said, "there isn't any smaller one". When questioned why the menu had the $32 price for something that didn't exist, she guessed it was possibly because they (you) didn't want to pay for new menus. As I could see she was not budging nor willing to do anything about this I told her well it's unfortunate that I will no longer be a regular at Nino's due to its deceptive pricing policy. If the chop is truly more, and the menu price is incorrect, it should be incumbent upon the server to inform the guest that the situation has changed, Nino's provides a large chop that is priced at $42.95! Having told the server that I would no longer be returning I thought that she would naturally inform and seek the manager (or owner) to visit us but that didn't happen. She just walked away in a huff! Please understand that I am not writing this because I want money back, free food or anything like that. I am writing because you have created a situation in which you have alienated several good customers (whose other friends also dine at Nino's and will hear this story) and perhaps you are unaware of the situation or your server did not do what she was taught to do and advise the specifics to the customer. At this point I will await a further response as to whether (and what) you plan to do to rectify this situation if anything. I hope that at some point we can all return to Nino's knowing that this situation has been rectified and the owner taken responsibility for this issue. No response from owner...... read more

I've been here a bunch of times and NEVER had had one item I didn't thoroughly enjoy. The service is attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. The dishes are superb! You can ask the server about anything in them, they're very knowledgeable about ingredients and how they're prepared. My favorite... The chicken Parmesan. But the eggplant Parmesan is also amazing and the pasta fagioli soup is to die for. It's busy most nights especially in season. It can get a little crowded and they do pack you in! They have a really great sunset menu sometimes if you like to eat early like I do! You will not be disappointed here! read more

The billboard outside listed stuffed artichoke, so we had to go in. That artichoke was outstanding! Plenty of breading and garlic and a light lemony sauce. We had garlic rolls too - totally vampire proof now! Nino's is a cozy neighborhood place which we'll visit again. read more

After two years, we made our way back to Ninos for a classic Italian dinner. Actually we had a reservation somewhere else new in town and as we were walking up to the restaurant one of the patrons came out and said don't waste your money. She was very unhappy with what she ate and the owner wasn't kind. So she said why don't you eat at Nino's which is one of her most favorite places. So we hopped back in the car and ran over to Nino's for a 730 dinner reservation which I made on the way. It's been two years since I last ate there. I had chicken cacciatore on the bone with vegetables and one of their house wines for $8.50. Paul had a glass of beer and chicken francaise. All entrées come with soup or salad and vegetables or pasta. They do not have other alcohol aside from wine and beer. The prices are still very fair and the portions are very generous. Dave was our waiter and he was terrific. He was personable and adept at his job. We indulged with a spumoni with pistachio strawberry and chocolate ice cream. It was very yummy. The venue itself is old and really needs a revamping. But it's clean and comfortable and a favorite to so many people. I'm happy we finally made our way back. Living in Palm Beach County, there are so many restaurants to choose from. But now that the snowbirds have left, it is much more comfortable eating out and not having to face all the crowds. read more

Visiting family and this was where they wanted pizza. I went to pick up order and it's a busy nice cozy place with warm decor. The plain pizza was okay , but I thought the gargonzola salad was rather small for the $22. A bit too heavy on the gargonzola where it overpowered the entire salad. Went to Publix next door and picked up tomato and cucumber to build the salad up more to feed 3 people. read more

The food is delicious and huge portions. Honestly they are big enough to split or have leftovers for days. The split pea soup was so good as well as the eggplant parmigiana. The mozzarella sticks we started with were good but definitely overpriced for the portion size. We had a fantastic waitress named Dawn she was very friendly and personable. The only real negative experience we had was with the hostess. She was rude, unfriendly and definitely didn't seem to like her job. read more

Nino's is a very nice old fashioned Italian restaurant that sells pizza as well as a variation of delicious Italian dishes. Each meal comes with soup or salad and a pasta. Our dishes were all had very nice portions and were very tasty. The shrimp fra Diavlo was delicious. Each table has the option of plain dinner rolls or rolls smothered in delicious garlic. Our server was very nice and accommodating. We will definitely be returning to try more dishes. read more

Pizza Rating: 7.4 Tried Both the Margherita Round Pie & the Upside-down Square Pie. Overall, Good, but Sauce is a bit too Sweet, needs less Sugar, and be more Meaty (too pureed). Needs that to "Kick This Up to the Next Level". Dough/Crust needs a lil more Hydration. Sure, this may be My Preference after 60 Years, and for "Some", it's just Fine, I'm sure...and based on the amount of business witnessed, they're doing just fine with or without Me. Just lending a Good Critique that can help, not hurt. Been to all the Best in NYC and So. FL, over 33 years. Nino's IS Worth a visit. Great Staff & Service is a Plus here too. read more

I have been going to Nino's of Delray Beach since l used to live in New Jersey and visit my dad who lived in Delray Beach years ago. I remember it from back then as a cozy, family friendly neighborhood restaurant with good food and big portions. I now live in Delray Beach and Nino's is a go to place often for myself and my husband. I often take out their delicious fresh, hot pizzas often taken care of by the friendly staff especially Jose and Ashley who are friendly and remember you as a "regular"! We also enjoy meeting friends there for dinner as the food is delicious, the service is great and the location is convenient in a strip mall at the corner of Jog Road and Lake Ida Road. During the winter months with many snowbirds in the area, there may be a short wait, but the take out service is fast and there is a usually a fairly fast turnaround with tables by the efficient staff. This is a local mom and pop restaurant family business and the Nino's reputation is very favorable! Give it a try and you will not be disappointed! read more

Nino's was kind of a staple for us when visiting my mother-in-law in Florida, but for some reason, we hadn't been in a while. It was her birthday weekend, and her friends wanted a fun night out, so they picked Nino's. The décor is all Italy-themed, which is pretty classic. They were nice enough to give us the early dining menu since our reservation was at 5:15. We had about 10 women, and by 5:30, it was getting a bit busy, but they were patient with us -- even though I could tell the waiter was a little frustrated at times. The food was okay -- I probably should've gone with a recommendation. I ordered the chicken parm, but honestly, it was pretty standard, not much flavor. read more

I want to express just how significant this place is to me. We go there every other Saturday, and I always look forward to it. Afterward, we catch a movie at the theater in Delray Beach on Hagen Ranch Road. We prefer arriving early to take advantage of the fantastic food and the early bird special. It's bustling with people enjoying themselves, and the food is abundant--enough to share with your family or save for later in a doggy bag. The decor perfectly captures the essence of a local Italian restaurant, set in a spacious shopping area with ample free parking. As someone who uses a wheelchair, I find accessibility is not an issue, especially if you go early. Just avoid the rush that comes close to earlybbird special time, particularly with the winter snowbirds filling up the place. read more

You always get great friendly service and VERY good food. I like everything about Ninos. From the pizza to the manicotti.

Great lunch today. Pizza special. Get there!! Good. Clean. Quick. Nice staff. Lots of parking. Large center.

Staff is always wonderful. Our server couldn't have been nicer to our son. Brought him pizza dough to play with. Also put his slice of pizza in refrigerator twice to cool it down for him. Don't forget the pizza is great ! read more

Wow! We arrived about 6 and had to wait about 25 minutes. We were able to purchase a glass of wine to bring outside to wait for our table. Obviously, no reservations, the hostess, wonderful, the service which was there for take out, etc. , was awesome serving us our Chianti. Very reasonable and a nice glass of wine. Seated , service good, but food outstanding and very reasonably priced. My veal parmigiana was so tender you could cut it with a fork. My friend's clams in garlic sauce she said was as outstanding as my veal. Definitely a place to go read more

It's been a year since I last did takeout from Nino's and I was disappointed. I ordered a Chicken Scarpiello. I asked that they do not include olives and no extra salt. When I went to pick up my food the friendly counter man went to the kitchen to see if it was ready. I again said please no olives and no added salt. He came back with my order packed up and I took it home. When I opened it I saw a few olives and the taste was very salty. My wife and I took a few bites and then threw the rest in the garbage. That will be my last time ordering from Nino's. read more

Very average chicken cacciatore and lasagna carry out last week. The food tasted like it was made the day before - not old or bad at all, just not cooked the same day - was looking forward to big juicy pieces of freshly cooked chicken pieces with a lot of good saucy gravy - in fact, there none on the lasagna- just dry. Also, the chicken had chopped drumstick ends with just rubbery chicken skin on them - like little nuckles. And the skin on the chicken pieces was rubbery too. Maybe not cooked in the sauce until heated up at the end? The restaurant was full of diners, so maybe we just chose the wrong entrees. read more

Excellent food and service Josephine's recipes are the best! Love the pizza and crust, a must try if you like Italian

My friend had a birthday party their. The service was excellent Most everyone order the usual Italian Specialties. Some walked out with a meal for the next day. That is to say, large portions. I was trying to watch my calories so chose the chicken picata. Sauce great , chicken was hard, that is not tender. I just picked the wrong entre. I would go back when I can eat their yummy Italian entres. Over-all very good. read more

This place usually fires on all cylinders. But the last couple times have been pretty bad. Waited almost 15 minutes for my server to greet the table. Pasta fagioli was flavorless broth, all pasta with almost no beans. Chicken francese was just as bad, pretty much chicken cutlets wrapped in fried egg, in a butter sauce that had zero lemon to it. Idk what's up with Nino's, but it bums me out watching them lose their charm. read more

Came here for the Monday special on Pizza. Enjoyed a great fresh pizza with some toppings and shared a dinner size Caesar salad.

We're definitely coming back! read more

We were really sad when Nino's in Boca closed. We read where the Delray restaurant was started by Nino's son 20 years ago. So we drove a little farther and were so glad we did. The restaurant was similar - a pizza side and a larger dining room. The service and ambiance were the same. The menu and recipes were just as good. So we now know where to go for veal parm and the veal/eggplant combo. The unexpected bonus was the early dining menu. read more

Been coming here for years. great food and service always! Best eggplant parmigiana in west delray.

We went out for a quick dinner, Karen was our waitress, so nice, so professional! I had lasagna and my husband had Baked Ziti Siciliana! Salad was fresh and cold, rolls were great! We really enjoyed dinner! Give it a try. read more

Our server was exceptional. Leon is such a great guy. He really hustled getting everyone their food. This was our first visit and we are already looking forward to coming back and also seeing Leon. The veal parm was delicious as was the chicken parm. Both dishes were super tender, the sauce delicious and served quite hot and quickly. The salad was ok just romaine but fresh and the garlic knots were served warm and crispy. I couldn't finish my meal but my husband devoured his! See ya soon Leon read more
