Very limited lunch menu insofar as quick lunches. Wanted a chicken Parm sub but they only offer meatball Parm sub. Ordered fried calamari, when it came out the calamari was well overcooked and rubbery. I notified the woman manager and she stated she would advise the chef. The chef never came out to see what was the problem and they never, at any time, offered to remove that from my bill. The total cost for lunch for 2 was $60 Including tip which is way overpriced for this area. So I will say that I will not be back there again.

We ordered the cheesy breadsticks. It was fried dough that must have been fried sometime in the past and then microwaved so it caused the outside to be really tough but not at all crispy. My entree was chicken Marsala. It didn't come with any pasta or mash potatoes and the sauce was very thin and didn't stick to the chicken at all while also being flavorless. Basically boiled chicken. I usually like to get desert when out at dinner, however the deserts in their case looked so unappealing, we decided to drive 15 mins away to get cake from the Sea Horse cafe. The two servers were okay, generally polite but didn't look at you when passing the table so it was hard to let her know when you needed something.

Long post alert On the afternoon of January 14, 2025, I…read morewent to pick up a food order for my co-workers and I. I ordered a meat lover's stromboli. When I opened my box, I noted that it appeared I had actually been given a calzone, that was super thin, barely had any cheese inside and was not fully cooked on top in the center. I tasted a piece and realized that it was indeed not thoroughly cooked as it tasted doughy. I called back and spoke to the young lady at the front register. She apologized and told me to bring it back. When I arrived back at Marina's, she asked if I wanted a replacement, something else or a refund. I told her that I'd get a refund. The lady that owns/runs the establishment was in the kitchen preparing food. The young lady took my food and showed it to her and informed her of my complaints and that I was requesting a refund. The owner began raising her voice at me from the kitchen, saying the food was cooked, couldn't I see that? I didn't respond to her, I just waited to see if I'd receive my refund. She walked from the kitchen, food in hand, still raising her voice, telling the young lady that this day was a day of complaints. She then turns to me and says that I must have paid too much money for the food and couldn't afford it and that's why I returned the food. I replied to her that I wouldn't have had food to return if I didn't have money to pay for it originally. She went on, ranting and raving, calling me stupid, suggesting that I call the health department if I felt like her food was uncooked. I told her that I didn't wish to argue with her, or see the need to call the health department, when she could just refund me my money and I could go on my way. I even apologized to her for her having a seemingly bad day, to which she replied that she was not having a bad day and that I was the problem. I told her that she was clearly having a bad day since she was insulting paying customers the way she was. I have been to this restaurant on many occasions and have never had an issue with anyone that works there, her included, and this was actually the first time I have had to return food. She's always given me a "thank you lady" farewell in past visits. I truly feel so disappointed in how I was treated and that I even went back and forth with her because I am not an argumentative person. After she gave the young lady the okay to refund me, she went on to tell me to do her a favor and not return, which she did not have to do, because after being verbally accosted like that, I have no plans on it. Even with Enfield having slim pickings on places to eat (which is to her advantage), she will not have to ever worry about my coins being spent with her! The food was better when her husband ran the place anyway and the food is overpriced for what you get! I gave 1 star because I couldn't leave it blank, and this terrible experience trumped all my other visits. I wish had taken a photo of the food but I didn't snap one; wasn't expecting the hoopla I received.

I discovered Nino's when looking for places to dine over my stay in Greenville, NC. I read it was a…read morebusy place so I made sure to make a reservation. When I arrived, I thought I was going to a fine dining establishment with the decor outside and patio. Even the chandeliers and painted ceiling when entering set my expectations high. Then I was seated in the empty Rat Pack room. It was obvious that I was exiled to be hidden away from the other diners in the main dining area. A couple did join me over an hour later. I would have been fine dining in the room to myself if the staff standing around the hostess stand were not loudly complaining about their personal problems such as their high electric bills, rent payments or needing to complete homework. These conversations belong in the break room, and not for guests to need to listen to, so much for the fine dining atmosphere. My waitress was friendly but did not go over the specials, or seem that familiar with the menu. I started with the Sicily Sunset and some bread. Then I ordered the Pear and Cheese Sacchetti. The pasta pouches filled with cheese and pears in an Alfredo sauce. It was to come with the garnish of cracked pepper, Romano cheese and parsley but that was missing. Parmesan was added at the table. I was a little shocked when my dish arrived within minutes of ordering. It made me feel like I was being rushed as I was isolated and the food came out too quickly. I do wonder if it was freshly made. I could tell they were trying to turn the table quickly as then the dessert menu arrived while I was still eating my entree. The pasta dish was good with the textures and flavor. I would have had a better opinion of the food if I had just ordered that and skipped the dessert. The dessert menu wasn't very Italian so that was disappointing. I had to laugh that the assorted Italian cookies contained chocolate chip, sprinkles, and a chocolate dipped cookie. I did take a photo of the menu, so you can read it yourself. I went with the profiterole, not realizing their version was pre-made. So they took it out of the refrigerator and served it cold. The pasty's texture was changed by the temperature and was chewy. The chocolate ganache had hardened rather than flowing like lava. The dish was not good and I didn't finish. I did mention to the waitress that it was not good and she just said that they might make it different. They pre-prepare it so it isn't fresh. For the price, the service, atmosphere and pacing were below professional standards. I do not recommend Nino's if you are looking for an upscale environment. I would not return after my experience.
