It's a wide open concept with lots of seating. The waitress and staff are very attentive. Baked Clams - we nicely breaded taste good Pino Puffs - Shredded zucchini and 3 cheeses formed into a light puffy ball, served with besciamella sauce- was good Potatoe Sausage Soup - ok...it wasn't as creamy as I thought it should be. It was ok Beet Salad, too much dressing. It was ok. Country Rigatoni- Tomato cream sauce with grilled chicken, sliced Italian sausage, peas & fresh mozzarella - nothing to rave about. Basic pasta with sauce Tiramisu - ok. Needed a little more flavor Bread Pudding - ok too Nothing really stuck out. It was ok food, I can't say it was great. read more

This place has been on my list of places to go to as im in the area. Our server was pleasant and friendly, and place gave a nice old school Chicago italian pasta and pizza vibe. Food was extremely delectable and prices were excellent compared to other locations. An excellent neighborhood restaurant. read more

They have good nightly specials there. It's usually easy enough to get a table. I love their soups.

The food here is awful and i don't understand the 5 star reviews. Everything I've eaten from here has a terrible taste and literally has made me gag. The last thing I had was spaghetti and meatballs. The sauce had such a bad taste. the meatballs tastes like fish! I gagged and threw it up in my napkin. And it's expensive for such terrible tasting food. I will not order from here again. I've wasted way too much money on this place. read more

Wonderful food, great service, and the atmosphere was perfect for our friend reunion.

The food was delicious! The pino puffs were so tasty but after 1-2, it felt a bit salty to me. Pasta dishes came with salad. The warm bread and olive oil was a perfect addition as well. I got the Penne Asiago and it was so delicious. My partner got the Bowtie Chicken, he really enjoyed it but it did felt a bit heavy. All in all a great meal. The service was great and we were definitely tended to the entire evening. The restaurant has such a cutesy feel. Would definitely go back! read more

Thought I was here in the past but family and friends said no. The restaurant had that familiar feel I guess. Nice decor with the brick walls and bar in front. Service was very good. It's a little noisy so you'll need to talk loud to carry a conversation, but other than that, great experience. Complementary valet parking is nice but there's good amount of parking down the street as well. Really enjoyed the chicken with mushrooms with great infusion of Marsala. Maybe a bit less oil would have made it better but it was still a great dish. read more

I had the Special of Fettecini in cream sauce with shrimp and the Pino Puffs. Food is superb. The fettuccini's cream sauce was light with some nice crunchy bread crumb topping. Perfectly cooked pasta, this is a must order again. The Pino Puffs were a big surprise. They had this crunchy slightly oily exterior, and then this perfectly moist interior that you would not expect. The Fettecini was really very good pasta, but I can't stop thinking about the Puffs. The sauce is ok, but the Puffs are good enough to stand on their own. read more

Christmas ambience was fabulous. Attentive wait staff. Excellent seafood pasta! Had to sit at a high top near windows, very chilly but the taste of the food and the good service made it enjoyable. read more

First and foremost the service here as always was impeccable. Never anything but the best from the front of the house. Next, bread and oils were great. The pino puffs were very good. My salad with creamy garlic was mushy and I don't think had creamy garlic. Was not bad but not great. Now the bad. I ordered the bow tie arrosto. I'm not trying to be cruel but the first thing I thought on my first bite was "IHOP Spaghetti". Not great at all, wet, mushy, not a lot of flavor. Maybe the cook was having a bad night but the bow tie noodles actually fell apart when you lifted them with a fork. They've been great in the past, tonight not so much. read more

I got delivery from the Slice app. Maybe the in restaurant dining experience is better. The food was placed on the ground. I did not expect this because I didn't select no contact delivery. The salad was placed on top of the hot entree. Soo...kind of wilty. The pasta was a little mushy. I don't know if that is due to time in transit. Overall, I was a little disappointed. read more

What a great, cute Italian restaurant!!! I visited this place with a friend of mine as first timers. This restaurant did not disappoint!!! We had amazing service, fresh bread served to us, with an appetizer to start (half dozen baked clams). Delicious and served fresh!!! Everything is made fresh, in house, including their pastas. I will definitely be returning again! This is a must try if you are in Edison Park. read more

Great food and environment. I highly recommend their Pino Bites and Pistachio Crusted Chicken!

A friend of mine suggested Nonno Pino's and I'm glad she did. I've been looking at a home in Norwood Park and Edison Park, and she thought it would be a good idea to check out the neighborhood and what it has to offer. A great idea to be sure, because I rarely have a reason to visit Edison Park and, most recently, was driving from home to home trying to squeeze in as many open houses as I could. Nonno Pino's is a great place and is a lively neighborhood gathering place. Though they are open short hours (I think about 5 or so hours per night, though the bar apparently remains open a bit later) the place can fill up quickly. We came on the early end so as not to mess with my daughter's sleep schedule too much, and by the time we left a couple hours later it was well populated. They seem to be able to handle larger groups well; they were arranging to seat a party of 12 when we left, and actually the reason my friend had heard of the place was due to attending a baby shower here in the past. We started with an appetizer of bread with olive oil, which is so good when it's served with a good oil (and this was). As for entrees, I had the pistachio crusted chicken and it was really good. The menu says it's served with asparagus, but really the asparagus is kind of a garnish--you get something like five spears, so that was a disappointment since I love asparagus. Also disappointing is that they seemed to cook the entire spear--even the essentially inedible bottom part of the spear--so that part of the meal could have been better prepared, but it's easy enough to get rid of the inedible end. The polenta cakes that came with it were actually a lot better than I anticipated; I don't think I'm usually much a fan but this was good. My friend got the lasagna and a couple meatballs; I also had considered the lasagna since I never make it myself and I would absolutely get the lasagna next time I visit (and indeed I do expect there to be a next time, especially if I'm find a home to purchase in the area!). The portions were large--I took half my meal home, as did my friend. Even though it's not the most expensive restaurant in the city, and not that out of line for a good Italian place, it's nice that you can potentially get a couple meals out of a visit here. Service was pretty good as well, though once we were ready to go it took longer than expected to get her attention and get our bill; having said that, she was also trying to arrange for the large party, so no harm no foul. I'm not sure that they have a kid's menu, but mine can't eat food yet so it's not something I need to worry about at this point. Kids are welcome, though, as they had a car seat sling for me to place the baby in and that worked pretty well for the time she let me place her in there so I could eat (meaning, scarf things down before she realized she was in a carseat and how dare I). When we were leaving, some folks sitting behind us asked how old my daughter was and we struck up a conversation for a few minutes, which was kind of cool and hopefully bodes well about the friendliness of the neighborhood. As with apparently a few places in Edison Park, they offer complementary valet. There's also some street parking which you can pay for using the ParkChicago app. I think I was a little surprised and confused by the free valet--I'm not sure I've ever been to a place in the city that does valet for free--so I didn't use it, but I found a space just a couple spots down from the door. Next time I visit, I'll certainly consider the valet since it might be easier with a wee one, especially if the only parking is further down the street. read more

This place took a dive- portions have shrunk tremendously- ordered pistachio chicken and it was burnt and dry with very little red pepper sauce. Pasta was sparse Used to be my go to Not anymore read more

We've hosted a number of events at Nonno Pino and they never disappoint. We hosted my son and daughter in laws baby shower yesterday and from the moment we booked this event until the last guest walked it the door, the entire staff was amazing. They helped us with everything! And the food? I can't say enough. We have gotten so many texts and calls from our guests raving about it. Moral of the story...eat here! And/Or Host an event! Truly amazing. read more

This review is long overdue. Having been disappointed tonight at a different Italian Restaurant/bar today reminded me this positive review about Nonno Pino's was long overdue. My only regret writing this was not picking Nonno Pino's this year for my anniversary. It is my favorite go to Italian Restaurant in the neighborhood. Why? Well, growing up in an Italian Neighborhood as I did, I know good Italian Food and Hospitality. That included ambience. The entire atmosphere makes an Italian Restaurant. The positive: the service, the food, clean, and the atmosphere. It is an Italian Restaurant and Bar that knows how to stay in their lane and does not play horrible techno, music. It stays true to it's roots serving Italian Food with warm gracious hosts and the food to match. It is owned by a couple of guys that are always nice and down to earth. It says a lot about a business when the same people stay working there for a longer period of time. As for the menu we love the Pino Puffs, pistacchio crusted chicken and their chicken vesuvio served on the bone. Their lasagna is very delicious. Their penne pasta with besciamella sauce is our daughter's favorite. I also like their blackened salmon. My husband and I are always hard pressed to find meals we don't like there. We had our daughter's baptism lunch there years ago. Lesson learned. Next year for our anniversary it will be Nonno Pino's for dinner. I am sorry for not going there this year. But we will be back because it is our neighborhood go to Italian Restaurant. Thank you for being in the neighborhood. read more

Everything about this restaurant is amazing!! The food comes out hot, plentiful and delicious!! The portions are so big that I always have leftovers! The selection on the menu is fantastic and even has gluten free options! The ambiance is inviting and staff is welcoming! read more

Stopped by on a Saturday night for drinks at the bar. We had a few appetizers and a few of their bourbon specialty drinks. Food, drinks and service were all good. The bar had a great vibe, not too loud as you could carry a conversation with friends. Will be back! read more

Food was really delicious and service was so friendly. The grilled calamari and pino puffs are a must! I can understand why they have been highly recommended. The pasta was superb and had enough to bring home. We also ordered a pizza which unfortunately wasn't the best. It was depicted as caramelized onion but it definitely wasn't. Our server was very kind enough to replace it but we were crunched on time. Honestly, I would come again! It was a pleasant time :) But definitely make a reservation if you can! This place can get real busy! read more

I moved from the area 10 years ago, but every time I come back, I make it a point to eat at Nonna Pino. It was my wife and my 'go-to' place to eat. The food is always solid and so very good. The Pistachio Crusted Chicken is my absolute favorite and a must-try. Be sure to save room for dessert! read more

I ordered for delivery tonight and all I can say WOW! Delivery came extremely fast. Food was steaming hot as if it literally just finished cooking. Delivery driver followed instructions and came within 30 minutes I feel like. We ordered the Pino puffs and crab cakes for appetizers. Pino puffs are the best thing ever created. I never had anything like these before and it's just delicious. I wish I ordered more! Crab cakes were really good too but I'd prefer their Pino puffs For entrees we ordered their Ribeye dinner which has amazing flavor! Amazing char and super juicy well cooked steak. Definitely a must try! , Penne Asiago which reminded me of an elevated Cajun chicken pasta dish. YUM!!! Last is the Crab meat stuffed shrimp linguine dish. So light and elegant. Super refreshing and so tasty. Shrimp and crabmeat was cooked perfectly. I can't wait To try more delicious meals from here !!!!! read more

I tried the beet salad which consisted of arugula, roasted beets, mandarin oranges and walnut crusted goat cheese disks served with house vinaigrette and drizzled with honey. Yep I loved it. Probably the best beet salad I had in a while. I also had a personal pizza with spinach, mozzarella and cream sauce. It was a large personal pizza and I had a lot of left overs for the next day! Service was great, very attentive. Their pastas look amazing made fresh in house! Something to look forward to the next time! read more

The food is excellent, but when they are jammed... they can't handle the crowds. We called ahead and were told we could have a table for 5 at 6:30. We arrived at 6:20 but we'rent seated until 6:45. Once we were seated we received water and bread. But then didn't see our server again for 45! Minutes! The server was super apologetic saying she was "crazy busy".... we had our 2 young daughters with us. They typically go to sleep at 8:30-9:00, but by the time we ordered and the food was delivered it was almost 8:45! The food was excellent but the service was subpar. read more

Randomly showed up here on a Monday night to celebrate my birthday and had a really good time. Erica served us really well and did a great job putting up with our dorky jokes and general silliness. This place has great family atmosphere, friendly staff, and 1/2 off bottles of wine on Mondays! Since it is within walking distance for me, I will be back, and regret not coming here sooner! Our table really loved the bread + evoo mixed with grated parm and olives they served us. We all asked for a second basket! We ordered for 4 adults: - arrancini - ceasar salad (made with mixed greens that night) - 2 crab stuffed shrimp fettucine dishes - mushroom ravioli - ricotta and spinach ravioli on special that night - bottle of CS cab sauv and malbec read more

Staple of Edison park and has been around a long time but left unsatisfied today. Baked clams were very good but the pasta dishes lacked flavor. Now I'm not asking for Chef Gordon Ramsey to be making my pasta sauce but this felt like it was made by his tax accountant, edible but i could have done it myself. All the pasta eaters at the table felt the same. The hardier dishes looked good and I'll give this place another shot one day but anytime you have a tax accountant making pasta, expect an audit. read more

We love Nonno Pino's! We wandered into Nonno Pino's for dinner on a Friday evening. We had no reso and wanted to sit near the windows. We were not happy at all with the slow service. It took 10-15 minutes before a server showed up (She was also working the bar) When we finally were able to get a drink and order food, we were very happy with the quality of food. My husband thought his mushroom ravioli was to die for! We would like to come back at a slower time to actually enjoy the whole experience. read more
