Trattoria Nina: Reviews & Ratings
Food was absolutely amazing! We had the Caesar Salad, fresh Pappardelle Pasta with Lamb Ragu, the Vegetarian Lasagna with a Smoked Tomato Sauce, and the Strawberry Lemon Tiramisu. Everything was delicious Can't wait to go back!
From the second we walked in to the establishment, our experience was phenomenal! The service, the food, the ambiance ... 10/10. We started with the burrata (easily the best I’ve ever had), then enjoyed the lobster ravioli and the salmon fettuccine special, both of which were out of this world. Ended with the chef’s recommendation of the chocolate mousse cake and goodness, am I glad we did! Looks like we just found our new celebration spot! Thank you, Trattoria Nina - see you soon!
Such a special and intimate spot! We had a fantastic meal here and will be coming back.
Wonderful food, ambience, and service. Wish I had come here sooner, but I will be back!
Authentic Italian cuisine right in the heights! We love the lobster ravioli
Food was excellent, we had the mussels pasta, lobster ravioli, and the Nina salad. All were perfectly made and the mussels pasta was exceptional. Highly recommend this restaurant for any interested in tasty Italian cuisine.
We all had something different and everything was equally delicious. We started with a Caprese salad (amazing) and then each had a different pasta dish - including spaghetti with mussels. The sauce was slightly spicey (as advertised) and SO GOOD! The chef’s specials were perfect. We enjoyed the relaxed interior and could comfortably converse in the cozy and authentic space. The chef checked in on us multiple times and the waiter was friendly and attentive. We HIGHLY recommend this local gem!
Love sitting outside here. The owner and his sons are very welcoming and the owner takes your order then goes into the kitchen to cook it which is lovely! He speaks very passionately about his food and makes great recommendations. Their menu is smaller as a result of the pandemic but it states they can cook older dishes if you ask. The prices are reasonable considering the cost of EVERYTHING everywhere (but specifically in the restaurant industry) has gone up. It’s a lovely neighborhood spot on a warm summer night.
