Good food unfortunately terrible management! I mentioned that a pizza was overcooked and was banned by the lady manager. I guess that this business is not open to constructive critizism. read more

All of our meals were delicious and the owner was amazing at making sure my sons, who have bad food allergies, were taken care of. Wonderful experience and great food. Definitely going back again and again. 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

Delightful! Anniversary dinner was really nice. Totally warm and attentive Meg represented NP's so graciously I asked her if she owned it. Started off with their signature Pino Puffs, shredded zucchini with 3 cheeses formed in a light puffy ball, a really nice appetizer. Main courses included the seared Salmon special with garlic mashed and the sausage and red pepper pasta which I ordered over angel hair with a ricotta & marinara sauce. Both really made us happy. Monday is half price wine bottles which we chose a Santa Margarita Pinot Grigio and took some home. A slice of cheesecake shared finished our visit. read more

FANTASTIC restaurant! Loved every bite. Visiting the area on business. Found on yelp. SOOOO great. Perfect service by Erica and wonderful young men who bussed the table. Owner is so nice. The food: wow! Gnocchi special with spinach, beat salad, almond tiramisu. DELICIOUS! Atmosphere is super nice too, very comfortable. JUST GO HERE! read more

This is one of my FAVORITE Italian restaurants! The meat sauce they have here is to die for, and I love both their bow tie and angel hair noodles. It's so nice because I love spaghetti, but they have tons of options of noodles and sauces that you can choose from. You can choose spaghetti, penne, bow ties, angel hair, linguini, or angel hair. For a dollar or two extra, you can choose whole wheat noodles, gnocchi, or gluten free. The sauces you can choose from include marinara, besciamella, alfredo, garlic and oil, ricotta and marinara, or meat sauce. They do have a bunch of other dishes on their menu, but with all of the different noodles and sauces to choose from, I feel that anyone can find something they enjoy! Prices are totally doable for how much food you get per serving, and the make your own pasta dishes start at $12 for a huge bowl. My mom LOVES the stuffed eggplant rolls and always gets those, which are under the appetizers section of the menu. The atmosphere and decor is super relaxing and pretty classy. The place is pretty dim and they have white table cloths on each table, and you use the cloth, reusable napkins. This place gets very busy in the evening, because it's only open for a few hours every day for dinner, and it's a pretty small place. I personally wish they were open for lunch, too. My sister's wedding shower was held here, and they are very accommodating and great for private events. It is also perfect size for a smaller group of people. The owner is always there and is extremely friendly, and I have never had a problem with any of their service or waitresses. Even the guy who does valet on Saturday nights is so friendly and helpful. Overall, I 100% recommend Nonno Pino's! read more

I was here with a Seniors group for lunch before seeing a show. The restaurant opened early to accommodate us. For that reason I'm withholding any comments on service and noise level. Our experience may not have been typical. But lest I give the wrong impression, let me say we were treated superbly! I can comment on the food though. We were served a five course meal from bread to salad, to pasta, to entree to dessert. Each and every course was outstanding! I have eaten at a lot of Italian restaurants. None has ever served a better meal. I had a baked tilapia that was finished with artichoke and asparagus tips with a side of potatoes that were very much like Vesuvio though a bit different. Others in the group had a chicken entree that was served in exactly the same style. Next time I'm in Edison Park I plan to visit again. read more

Nonno Pino's - Interior - Italian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great service and ambiance. They were very flexible and accommodating of individual needs

Nice local Italian place in Edison Park, about 5 min drive east of the old Pickwick Theater. Casual chic vibe. Nice wine list, full bar. More than just pasta with red sauce here. Nice appetizer selection - we had arancini - very tasty. All entrees include soup or salad (house or Casear). Asiago encrusted chicken was darned good. Chicken & mushrooms also quite flavorful. Friendly, efficient staff, relaxed but good at what they do. Parking best to do their free valet read more

Solid 3/5 for me. I didn't think anything was amazing. Our server was not exceptional either. They did have a wide variety of things to choose from, as well as good ambiance, but I wouldn't recommend people go here over any other Italian joint. read more

My brother returned to Chicago for the holidays and where did they want to go 1st? Nonno Pino's! They graciously gave us a large table in the back, did not rush us through ordering and our group probably tried a good 40-50% of the menu with emphasis on the specials (which are written on the chalk boards). They also delivered a lovely tiramisu for my Aunt's b-day. This is a favorite restaurant great for families and special occasions. read more

Started with apps of bread and calamari followed by a pasta dish which was amazing. The atmosphere here was awesome and felt like little Italy in downtown Chicago. Waitress was sweet and service was very quick. Love it read more

This is my favorite restaurant. The service and food are always great. I particularly like the pistachio chicken. The deserts are also very good and you cannot beat the prices. I highly recommend. We use Nonno Pino for catering of family parties and have had multiple showers and parties at the restaurant. read more

Food is good, service is a little slow because it's always crowded. Ambience and staff are very friendly.

My husband and I had the pleasure of stopping by Nonno Pino's this weekend and it not disappoint. The food and ambiance were both great and the service was perfection-Jennifer was beyond amazing and was so helpful with menu selections-thank you again Jennifer we'll be back! read more

Fantastic food, quick and considerate service, and a very relaxing environment reminiscent of street dinning.

Had a special party there last year. Food was delicious, excellent service and lovely setting. Mike was very helpful and we enjoyed this celebration with friends and family. Definitely coming back with guests. read more

Nonno Pino's is my go to place for a casual Italian dinner in Edison Park. The place has an inviting vibe and a very attentive wait staff. They can accommodate small or large groups and can work with you when hosting a party. The free valet parking is a plus, especially on busy weekend nights. There is a small bar area, but this is more of a restaurant. The food at Nonno Pinos is the real standout. Prices are all very reasonable and portions are huge. Pino Puffs are the best appetizer - little fried dough balls with cheese. The penne with pancetta is amazing - this is always a highlight. The other pasta dishes are good, but have been too heavy in my experience. The chicken dishes are all huge portions and cooked perfectly. Kids meals are always a hit and keep the little ones happy. I highly recommend Nonno Pinos if you are looking for great Italian food in a relaxed atmosphere. read more

Always a great place for dinner. Service is always excellent. Favorite dinner spot for any day.

I'm so glad to have chosen Nonno Pino's for my son and future daughter-in-law's bridal shower! The food and service were exceptional. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. Thanks especially to Mike for his guidance in helping me plan such a wonderful celebration with family and friends! read more

Absolutely loved this place! Large portions of delicious food reasonably priced & service was friendly & terrific. Can't wait to go back!

Great place. Rock solid Italian cuisine and decent cocktails. Afternoon bar special is insanely affordable as well. Something like buy a drink get a small plate for 2.50 (yes two dollars and 50 cents). It's a limited menu of course but plenty of great choices! read more

Ate dinner here with a friend on a Friday night. We made a reservation, but didn't need one. Our waitress was very unfriendly and seemed to be annoyed by us throughout our time dining. Once our food came, we didn't see anyone until a man came and asked if we wanted our food boxed. We were never asked how our food was and as soon as the waitress saw our food boxed, she brought the check. We had had a few beers which were empty, and were not asked if we wanted another round. While the food was good, the service was terrible and we ended up taking our business elsewhere for the rest of the night. read more

One word...OUTSTANDING! This is my second time here but I promise you...I will be here at least once a week now and I am a cooking machine, so that's a lot! Their food, drinks & specials are thee most amazing prices, portions and quality. Katie is a killa! And I mean that with upmost love. She is a beast behind the bar, on the phone, serving nearby tables and makes a delicious desirable drink! Happy Hour is like no other...I put that on my mother. TRY IT ALL! Nonno Pino's you are at the top of my happy hour list and after a long, hard day of work...you are my everything (Makes me reminiscent of Mary J. Blige). Buon apetito! read more

Great food, great service! Beer list could be improved with more non domestic, non-IPA choices.

Great food, good service and nice ambiance. Prices were not bad either. I definitely recommend it.

To me, this is one of the best places to eat in Edison Park. The Pinot puffs are an absolute must. I can't really describe them other than to say I think they're made out of zucchini but I know they are very worth it. Every single time I order them and a guest tries them they are in love. Otherwise, this place is fantastic! I recommend a marinara sauce over any of the other sauces. I know it sounds boring to recommend but it's really that good. It also has really nice romantic atmosphere if you're going on a date but even more important, it is 100% comfortable if you are single and looking for just a nice Italian dinner at the bar. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is great and I just really like it here! read more

Giving 5 stars because I can't give 6. I was here last year for my sister-in-law's wedding and remember saying "These are the best meatballs I've had in my entire life." Fast forward to today one year later- My sister-in-law and her husband went back to Nonno Pino's for their one-year anniversary. I called and spoke to a woman named Heidi about bringing a bottle of wine to their table as a gift when they sat down for dinner. Heidi sent me a wine list and had everything arranged. We asked if they wouldn't mind writing a short note wishing them well, and Nonno's went the extra mile with a handmade decorative card to help make it even more special. So I want to say THANK YOU to Nonno Pino's and to Heidi for helping to create more great memories at your restaurant. We will definitely be coming back! read more

Hosted a Wedding Shower ...... Amazing! Awesome! Fantastic!! Bottom line...PERFECT!! Mike and his staff were outstanding. The service, the attention given was spot on! Hosted for 60 people. The food was tops...appetizers, salad, pasta, Offered 3 entrees, Asiago crusted chicken, blackened salmon, grill pork in balsamic, nothing but praises from guests for each entree!

Nono Pino's I thank you for making this shower memorable for family and friends. A once in a lifetime the future Mr & Mrs will always remember! read more

Had great dinner! My friend ordered a cesar salad and mushroom ravioli and it tasted great. I ordered a beat salad and the asiago chicken. I've had it there before and it's always good but last night it was excellent. We had Arancini for an appetizer and it was just OK, but our meals were excellent. Great price too, good portion size and fair price. Overall, another great experience at Nonno Pinos. read more

Great food. Ambiance is like a small town in Italy. Becky is a great bartender and everyone greets the customers warmly.

We came to Nonno Pino's during Restaurant Week 2018. We were SO excited. We were seated immediately, though the room looked very busy. I wasn't too impressed with the service, our glasses were refilled once the entire time we were there and our server came by our table a total of 3 times: to take our order, check in, and give us the final check. Not sure if this is standard but there was a point we would have ordered wine, but since she never came before/as the food arrived we really didn't get a chance to! As for the food itself, it was just okay. I ordered bruschetta for my appetizer and it was stone cold. My husband ordered mussels in a sauce and it was delicious. For main course we ordered a Cod which was delicious but in a very sweet sauce and pork that was cooked to PERFECTION. As for dessert, it was underwhelming if not insulting. I ordered tiramisu which had no lady fingers or coffee flavoring of any kind - just sweet on sweet. My husband ordered caramel pudding which was just a tiny Dutch baby. Not sure what that was about. Overall - okay at best. I imagined that for restaurant week the restaurant would try to showcase it's best effort, but really it felt like they were just cutting corners to fill the place. read more

Best chicken vesuvio I've had in a very long time. Took me back to my childhood days.

Very good place to get a nice Italian dinner. Peaceful calming atmosphere. Great serving staff.

We happened upon this place after walking out of Moretti's around the corner, where we sat for 20 minutes without a server coming by while some oblivious teenagers were overseeing the patio. Service was impeccable, food was terrific--a pleasure to be served by true professionals. Will DEFINITELY go back! read more

We have placed several "to go" orders from here and are NEVER disappointed in the quality or quantity of food. The gentleman who takes the orders is kind and patient. read more

Always look forward to seeing mike and his excellent team at Nonno Pino's. Been coming here since they opened when a friend of mine owned it and then switched owners and they never missed a beat. Solid food , great atmosphere and easy to get to ! No need to waste your money and time going downtown for an overpriced meal...... these guys beat them hands down all day long ! read more

Catered for a business lunch at the Resurrection hospital not too far from the restaurant, good Italian portions. The house salad was very fresh and tasty. The person who took my order was Katie, excellent customer service. read more

Walked in "wasted" after 5 Duvels and told waitress we needed something to absorb the liquor. She recommended "bread" and we ordered the prosciutto pizza. When it came, I was concerned as it was piled high with arugula- totally not what pizza should look like. But it was delish- fresh olive oil, gentle cheese and all around outstanding flavor. I would come back sober and have dinner! read more

Mother's Day Buffet I've eaten here where you order food to the table and I couldn't say anything negative it was very good. However Mother's Day buffet ( where I invited family from out of state ) and I have to say we were disappointed there was no steam tables, no steam /sneeze hoods to keep warm and avoid germs, the buffet table was set up in front of the entry/exit doors. Food was cold, meat especially cold and chewy, with only a butter knife to cut the prime rib. I felt that the salmon was under cooked/watery. read more
