Nino's Tuscany provides a cozy, welcoming haven and unfussy, well-executed cooking from its namesake central Italian region. Pastel-hued murals of the idyllic Tuscan countryside, brickwork, and softly-lit elongated sconces set a pleasant mood that's enlivened in the evenings by the sprightly piano playing of irrepressible nonagenarian, Irving Fields.

"My family had dined at Nino's before, however, you wouldn't have known it since everything we ordered This time, seemed to be Extremely Overpriced!! So much that my entire family felt as though we were being taken for "A Ride" down the "Over Priced A La Carte, Highway". No matter what we ordered, or how we ordered, it seemed as though the waiter was set on charging $55+ for an entrée '!! I even commented to the waiter on how outrageously priced their entrées seemed to be! Unfortunately, the waiter was not very sympathetic nor helpful and only attempted to justify this by stating that the "fish was fresh"?! This unfortunate experience has taught me Never to go back to Nino's!!!"

"My husband and I had a rare opportunity to go out without the kids. This place was great. The ceasar salad was one of the best I ever had and the dressing is made fresh table side. We shared a clam linguini and it was so delicious, I dreamed about it. This was a great evening."

"The food was relatively mediocre, menu rather pedestrian for foodies, nothing that interesting. We had fish which was very fresh and that was appreciated. Had a panna cotta for dessert. It was in the refrigerator just long enough to pick up the frig smells and taste. Value for the price wasn't there. We should have walked across the street to Seasonal and had a great meal."

"The food is very good. The steaks are prepared to perfection. Seriously perfect and sizzling. The gentlan who plays piano is precious and the service is warm. What else would you want. It's kind of old world and pricy. Especially the specials! 52.00 for Dover sole with no sides. That's being said, I keep returning"

"The food was very good and the service was very attentive. My granddaughter, a teenager, who is a very picky eater found something to eat and enjoyed it. A little expensive but there were 7 of us. I would definitely visit again."

"When the restaurant called me to confirm I asked if they would have their regular menu available even though it was Valentine's day. I was told that a special menu would be available as well as the regular menu. It was not.y husband did not like anything on the special menu and had to get two appetizers from the special menu at ala carte prices.
The food was good, but it was disappointing.
It was not worth the trip accross town."

"This restaurant is in a time-warp. The kitchen needs a complete overhaul. Our fried calamari appetizer was soggy, tasteless and the calamari itself did not taste fresh. The tomatoes in the tomato mozzarella salad were pink,icy cold and tasteless as was the pre-packaged tasting mozzarella. Although the pasta dish had a good flavor and the pasta was not over-cooked, the sauce itself was too heavy. The cheese cake was flavorless."
