We came here on a weekday during the afternoon and it wasn't busy at all. Service was fast and attentive and I liked the darker mood of the restaurant itself. We ordered the pepperoni pizza, chicken parm sandwich, and a fruity martini. I was surprised by how affordable this all was! The sandwich was the size my of forearm and only costed $14 which was such a steal! The crispy nice on the pizza crust was so good as well and the cheesy ooey gooey melty with each bite. The chicken parm was crispy too and well seasoned. I ended up eating two meals with this sandwich that's how much this portion was! Lots of seating inside so this could also be a nice date spot if you're curious about the vibe. read more

Nino's was a really cool little underground spot with a calm, cozy vibe. Definitely nice for a casual date night or family dinner. Service was great too. The spicy rigatoni with chicken parm was a 9/10 Super flavorful and easily my favorite thing we had. We also got the gnocchi with chicken parm -- 8/10, really good as well. Only downside was there was a slightly weird smell inside the restaurant, but once the food came out, everything was delicious. Definitely enjoyed this spot! read more

I decided to go to Nino's again because of DoorDash. I had some credits to use up. I'm glad that I gave it a try. Their menu has all the Italian classics you'd expect. But from all the choices I ordered their Margherita pizza. While I thought the crust was a little too dough the pizza itself was flavorful. Another plus was that my order was ready right on time for pickup. It made the experience smooth and convenient. Overall, I'd order from here again. read more

While waiting for our cruise we visited New York City for two days. We can across Nino's 46, which looked like an original Italian restaurant. The atmosphere at 4:30 pm on a Tuesday was quiet and not busy. The staff were attentive and the pizza and wine were Excellent. Highly recommend Nino's 46 while in New York. read more

Made some reservation for dinner here before the New York Marathon to carb load. When we arrived on time for our 5:45 reservation we had to wait a little bite for our table to be ready so we sat at the bar for a little. Inside was nice though! I ordered the truffle mac and cheese bites to start. They were but I don't think I tasted much truffle. i ordered the gnocchi caprese with a meatball and really enjoyed it! The flavors were great and i really liked the sauce. Prices seemed average for new york. I left so full and ready to race the next day! read more

I love this cozy little Italian restaurant for their affordable homemade pastas. I frequently crave fresh pasta or brick oven pizza, but lately, prices have gotten a bit out of hand, especially for anything homemade. And when I'm in the mood, I don't want just one dish. I want and need variety. Mmm Nino's delivers on both taste and value. The fettuccine with lobster and shrimp is a great deal at $28, and they are generous with the proteins. I got a full lobster tail and several delicious shrimp. The chicken marsala pasta was also really flavorful. We also tried the Margherita pizza, which was simple, classic, and very reasonably priced at $15. My husband loved the chicken vodka pizza. We'll definitely be ordering again soon whenever those homemade pasta and pizza cravings hit. read more

Nino's 46 - Ambiance - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Came on a hot Friday night. Street level but it felt like a basement. Dark setting and felt like a basement. It was really hot inside. We started off with some complimentary bread. The bread was stale and chewy. Saw the plastic bin of bread. Started off with the fried calamari. It was gluten free, bad grainy texture, but it was fresh and had decent seasoning. Honestly... this wasn't it. Skippable. The charred octopus was much better. Charred and cut into bite sized pieces. Seasoned well. Dressed with some lemon juice, dish was bright. The kitchen sink pasta was a hot mess type of good. Hot and fresh pasta. Shishito peppers cut into various sizes. Short rib doused in various sauce, could be chili oil, could be sauce or melted mascarpone. It was confusing but good. The linguine clams dish was alright. Some shelled clams were fresh, some were not. Lots of canned clams to complete the dish. The sauce was thin and lacking. It felt like a thinned out canned soup. Pasta was fresh and al dente. read more

Solo night out while the wife and kid enjoyed a broadway show. I popped into this place expecting a quick and easy meal. I sat at the bar and the bartender acknowledged me quickly. I ordered a nino old fashion and it was on point! Ordered a bolognese and it was fresh, very tasty. Combine that with the atmosphere of the restaurant, it was awesome. I recommend checking this place out for some good drinks and good food. Menu is smaller which I appreciate as they can focus on a doing a few items very well and it was on full display with the food I ate. read more

We ordered here for take out. I can't speak for the decor or the service, but the food was pretty good. I got a simple spaghetti marazano with meatballs that really made my day.

If you're in New York and craving REAL Italian food, you absolutely have to visit Nino's 46. This is my second time here, and somehow it's even better than I remembered. From the moment you walk in, you're treated like family genuine kindness, warm smiles, and service that makes you feel so welcomed. What truly sets this place apart is the freshness. Everything is made right in front of you--you can literally watch the pizza being crafted while you sit at your table. There's something so special about seeing the care, skill, and love that goes into every dish. And the food absolutely incredible. Every bite tastes like it came straight from Italy. Fresh ingredients, perfectly balanced flavors, and that homemade touch you just can't fake. You can tell they take pride in what they do and it shows. This isn't just a meal, it's an experience. Authentic, comforting, and unforgettable. We will 100% be back again and again. Thank you, team Nino's greatly appreciate your number one top-notch customer service read more

Found this place after some shopping in the area. Its very cozy, the staff is very friendly and accommodating. Our waitress was just ok but I won't hold that against them. It was very reasonably priced. We got the following: Fried barata app 10/10 Caesar salad 7/10 Spicy Rigatoni with chicken parm 8/10 this was extremely mild not spicy, had to add salt & crushed red peppers for taste) Dessert was Creme Brûlée Overall would recommend for dinner with friends, family and even a date night! read more

It's been awhile, but dined at Nino's 46 and it's still great! Reservations are a must and there were no tables available upon opening. However, you can sit at the bar and enjoy dinner there. The space is warm, comfortable and inviting. The wines offered by the glass are good and they have a nice variety to choose from. They also have a full bar if you'd like a cocktail. We started off with fried calamari, which is served with a marinara and an aioli dipping sauce. The calamari was lightly breaded and fried to perfection. It was incredibly tender and delicious. The Chicken Parmesan with linguine was wonderful and really hit the spot. The Fusili with Ragu was also excellent. Did I mention the pasta is fresh? Fresh pasta just hits differently. Nino's is a perfect place to grab dinner when seeing a show, just be sure to make reservations. read more

Came just to kill some time before dinner. Went to sit at the bar and the restaurant just had a weird vibe. We stuck to beer so can't really complain there, but it's a dark place and the food did not look very appetizing. From what the people around us were eating, it seemed like one of those old time Italian-American places. Went to go wash my hands in the bathroom and passed by the kitchen were I saw the waitstaff eating.. Like there was a pizza and one person picked up a slice and the other was picking at a pasta dish... Kinda glad I stuck to just the beer. read more

Not bad! But was hoping for more. I try to avoid midtown, generally. The meal was reasonable but nothing wowed me. Same with service... did the job but not amazed. It wasn't busy at all when we went for a 7p dinner reservation. The interior is very dark. Large portion sizes though, if you get pasta. Overall would suggest looking for an alternative option if you're looking for a memorable Italian meal in NYC. But this works fine in a pinch. read more

The salads were light and fresh. The tuna tartare was colorful and had a mild flavor. The gnocchi had a beautiful keep, tasted good but the sauce needed to be thicker. The chefs, wait staff and all others were so efficient and impressive. The establishment is small but quaint and cozy. read more

I am ecstatic that Nino's 46 made it through COVID and it's improved even more. This is a small, quaint, and charming restaurant. The tables are comfortably separated and it has a full bar. Our lemonades were nicely tart, fresh, and served in tall glasses. Both of our entrees were incredible...the Spicy Rigatoni Vodka, with Mr. Nino's vodka sauce and Calabrian Chili was AMAZING. OMG...optimally spicy and I enjoyed how the burrata cheese blissfully melted throughout the entire dish. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ENTREE! The Gnocchi Caprese, with roasted heirloom tomatoes and burrata cheese, had the perfect texture and it was fun enjoying it with a spoon. Please, do not hesitate to dine at Nino's 46. You'll be pleasantly serviced and will become a happy returning customer. read more

The truffled mac and cheese was decent but on the heavier side, so I would recommend skipping it. In contrast, the charred octopus was excellent, served with green mango and red onion. The tangy sauce complemented the perfectly charred octopus beautifully. I ordered the spicy rigatoni vodka with an added chicken parm, and it was delicious. I just wish it had a bit more heat. Overall, I'd love to come back and try the pizzas next time! read more

Nino's 46 - The Kitchen Sink Pasta - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

This place gets 2 stars for friendly service, but that's it. The food was pretty bad. The clam pizza came with clam shells baked all over it, so you had to pull them out of the melted cheese and shell each one. The crust was good, but the base was soggy. The gnocchi with burrata and heirloom tomatoes was in a very watery sauce so thin it looked like a broth. It had a slightly sour taste and was served lukewarm at best. Last, the spaghetti was overcooked and, again, lukewarm. The really concerning thing is that our food came out SUPER fast, like 5 mins tops. If it came out that fast but was still only warm, it makes me think it was all premade and then warmed up. Last, for 2 pastas, a pizza and a beer, it was almost $100. That would sting under any circumstances, but with food this bad, it leaves a particularly bitter taste in your mouth. I wish the food was better, because the service was quite good and the staff were friendly, but I can't say we'll ever be back. read more

Well, we were disappointed today 7/30. Every year when we come to NY, Ninos is a must for us but today we stopped by for dinner and there is a sign saying they will be closed next week which I assume means this week. They are closed and have black plastic over the windows. There isn't any date on the window note saying when they will reopen and there isn't any info on their website. Hopefully this is just temporary and we will see them next year. read more

Couple of things - They charge for using credit card Service is great!! Tbh the best thing I liked You could walk in on weekends and expect to get a table Pizza was good. I mean I don't personally like when there's a lot of liquid on pizza that makes the crust soggy but it wasn't bad Parmesan fries barely had Parmesan. The potatoes were good though Overall, it's a low key chill place if you're in the area and want pizza. Did not try their pasta but looked nice read more

4.5 Stopped by for lunch without a reservation. Was able to get a table for 2 thankfully. Started with the trio meatballs which were so so good. The meat had such great seasoning and I loved it. Then had the chicken vodka pizza which was awesome too! Super light and flavorful. Not too overpowering at all. Then got a sandwich to share as well which was good! Overall, loved this spot for lunch. And great food if you're in this area and craving Italian. read more

3.5... 5 stars for Nadia! She was unbelievably personable with an awesomely bubbly personality! That was our first impression upon our visit.. we actually Yelped to find a place in the area (we were visiting the tree) and wanted a place with decent reviews that was within walking distance. So, here we go. Very intimate and cozy... we were seated fairly quickly without a reservation since it was after 8 pm, for a late dinner. Service was prompt... Jen was our server. She was friendly enough. The reason why I didn't give more was because our food was just ok... I was really sad about that, because the drinks and everything else were nice, but the food should always be the star of the show in my book. It was just super bland... I can tell that the pasta was fresh, but the bite was off.. we ordered mac and cheese truffle bites and they had not a lot of taste... the crunch of the bites was really nice and crispy, though. My tuna tartare appetizer seemed a little too salty... I asked for balsamic glaze to balance it out and was given dressing (that I didn't add). Even though the tuna and avocado seemed fresh, the salt just overpowered it. My main entree was the kitchen sink pasta (fettucine with a short rib sauce --wasn't saucy at all, pretty dry, mascarpone)... it came with a fried egg on top which was cooked perfectly, but other than that, it was just really underwhelming. I had to go home and "doctor it up" to make it enjoyable. That was a bummer because the dish had so much potential... We didn't order dessert... the menu didn't seem too exciting. Overall, a decent time, but with so many Italian options... not sure if I will return when in the area. read more

Fantastic gem. Stumbled upon them by accident. Didn't have a reservation. Service was great. The pasta is homemade in house. Super flavorful. The ricotta on the meatballs and pasta was so rich and smooth and fluffy. The pizza was fantastic wood fired. They put out little candles later in the evening so it was super cute. read more

I waited a week before I wrote this review, mainly because I wanted it to be fair and factual and not based on the emotions I felt while dining at Nino's 46. I was visiting New York City with my sister, her friend, and my eight year-old niece. My niece, has celiac disease, which can sometimes make it difficult to find accommodating restaurants. We specifically chose this restaurant because of her celiacs and reviews regarding owner having celiacs and understanding accommodations. I have a shellfish allergy, so it was comforting for me as well. However, I didn't expect the issues with accommodations to be geared towards my mobility and wheelchair usage instead of food allergies. I am an ambulatory wheelchair user. I specifically bring my chair with me on long trips, due to chronic pain. It is a narrow, TSA approved, folding electric travel wheelchair. It's small, maneuverable and light weight. When we arrived, the restaurant did not have a handicap accessible entrance. The only way into the restaurant is by a short staircase. This type of issue isn't uncommon in old cities, but it is uncommon with public restaurants that have been fully renovated Since the American with disabilities act came out more than 20 years ago... There is room for a ramp, which I would urge the owners to do as there is no grandfather accommodation for ADA with public restaurants (something that I will also be reporting). My sister and her friend carried my wheelchair down the 4-5 steps so that I could come inside with my chair. I sat back down in it. The next part still upsets me. Upon noticing us, our server came up and made a comment that "this isn't really the restaurant for that type of thing" pointing to my chair. I kinda laughed, and shrugged it off and said yeah New York City isn't the most accessible. He led us to a table, and said 'it's a good thing we don't have many people in here today because otherwise we wouldn't even seat you because we have no room for you'. (It was 2:30pm and EMPTY). This is also completely untrue, while the restaurant is small it is not small by any New York City standards, and there was no reason to make somebody who is in a wheelchair feel completely unwelcome in a location. My chair is small and narrow, and can pull under any table. It can also be stored. I have been to so many places and no one has ever told me that I wouldn't be welcome when they are busy because of my wheelchair. Kind of upset, I shrugged it off as he continued to mumble, didn't say anything again and sat down with my family, and ordered our food. Food arrived (4 entrées, 2 apps), including a sandwich that I ordered. Side note in pricing: a lunch chicken pesto sandwich and a glass of Tap water cost $30, tip was included in bill. The food was nothing special for the cost, decent flavor but nothing that in particular that I remember about the sandwich. My niece did enjoy her GF noodles (which was the main reason we chose the location, so that's a plus). Overall food was 7/10. However, I was very taken aback by the waiters attitude once again when my sister and her friends food arrived. Friend ordered eggplant parm. Plating was beautiful and she took a very excited bite of the eggplant, and looked up with disappointment and said 'it's cold'. The pasta was hot, but the Eggplant either did not get to temp in the fryer or sat too long before being plated. Waiter came by a few minutes afterword and asked how it was. I've worked fine dining, I've never seen a response like this. The waiter immediately began arguing with her; she asked if it could be heated up and he oddly assumed meant microwaved and went on a rant about how they don't use them. This continued on with him lecturing that there is no way the eggplant could be cold because it came straight out. He then said he could remake it, but by this time we felt extremely uncomfortable with the entire experience as he went on about how the drop time was only 60 seconds (for reference, it was a 2.5 min cook time at our restaurant, pan fried). We ended up paying for the full meal (including cold plate) and the added 25% gratuity on the receipt and CC charge. He left the table mumbling something under his breath, we all checked eggplant, it was absolutely cold... Obviously, I wouldn't go back as I never felt welcomed in the first place and wouldn't be able to enter it by myself with a wheelchair. It was one of the few times I have ever felt that I was being discriminated based on my disability and mobility. I hope this long but honest review serves as a warning for all those with hidden and unhidden disabilities who are considering this location based on its GF menu. TLDR: Disability discrimination (not accommodating and intentionally rude regarding use of wheelchair), over priced, rude staff, cold food read more

My friends and I were going to see Charlie Puth perform at Radio City Music Hall on June 15, 2023 and wanted to grab dinner prior. We made a reservation through OpenTable at 6:00pm and were seated promptly after we arrived. The restaurant is cozy. There are bar seating and tables throughout. It was a little dark but I suppose to set the mood. I had the spicy rigatoni vodka that has Nino's vodka sauce and Calabrian chili. My friends had the fusilli bolognese and linguine clams. We enjoyed the food, but it was pretty typical Italian food and nothing really stood out. If you use credit card to pay, expect credit card fees on your bill. Service was okay. read more

Stumbled upon Nino's when looking for a good pre-marathon meal and it exceeded my expectations! We arrived at our reservation early and the staff was able to get us in - very unexpected given how busy the place was. The ambiance was intimate and cozy and the menu had plenty of my favorite Italian dishes. I got the spicy rigatoni and loved it! It was both tasty and perfectly portioned.

Not terrible but quite mediocre. Items seem like they are premade/frozen and not at all fresh or prepped in house. Bread definitely was not fresh. A LOT of pepper in the pasta sauce - so much ground pepper. Probably the only fresh thing. Nothing you'd be sad to miss and way better food around the area. Great service. read more

A friend of a friend suggested this place for Italian. It's right on 46th Street just off 5th Avenue. It's one of the many restaurants on Brazil Street where you can take out, or casual dine in. Me and 3 others came at 6pm as it was the best time for all of us to meet up. We all decided on one adult bevy to start off with, each of our own pasta, and all of us ordered calamari and a pizza to share. Really authentic Italian style restaurant, this place is legitimately amazing! Great place to grab happy hour at reasonable prices too. This location is very close to Times Square and just one stop away from Port Authority/42nd Avenue Station! Tbh, this pasta was so fresh and authentically Italian I don't think I'd want to eat at chain restaurants unless the weather is bad and I'd have to get food closer to the hotel. Service was just okay, but the food made up for the server. With so many Italian restaurants all around the city, I think I'd come by more regularly. read more

Pros: amazing gluten free selection. Everything can be made gluten free including the pizza and pasta. Cons: the credit card fees. I was charged almost $6 in credit card fees. A dinner for 4 without alcohol cost $200... do you really expect me to walk around crime ridden nyc carrying hundreds of dollars? Nobody carries cash these days, charging 3% for credit card fees is absurd. Also the total was $184.33 before tax. 3% of that is $5.53. Yet I was charged $5.83. Don't get me wrong, I don't care about 30 cents but it's the principal of it, if you tell me you will charge 3%... why are you secretly charging more than 3%? Also, I had the kitchen sink pasta (normal pasta, not gluten free). The pasta was overcooked, it was soft and soggy. Being an Italian restaurant, a chef should know how to cook a pasta Al dente, only amateurs cook pasta till soggy. The mushy pasta cost $33 plus credit card fees. read more
