Ninos is a cute fun little pizza parlor/italian restaurant that's been around since forever. Less than a block off the beach, with both inside and outside seating it makes for a very convenient place for lunch or dinner. The burrata appetizer is delicious and a meal unto itself! The pizza is light and crusty and the Italian dishes ... we had the eggplant parm..are delicious and generously proportioned. Best of all, the staff is very friendly! read more

We came here for lunch while we were at the beach since it was conveniently close, by the parking lot. There was some indoor and outdoor seating. We got a few different pizzas but unfortunately I didn't think they were anything special. They were pretty mediocre but good enough to satisfy your hunger. Just nothing amazing. read more

If I could give negative stars I would. I wanted a single piece of lasagna. The total was 26.50. Upon being like well how big is it and after being told it's roughly 4x4. I tell the restaurant it's crazy to pay $30 for a piece of lasagna especially when it's not homemade. I was yelled at walking out of the restaurant i was told to go somewhere else. Totally unacceptable. Zero class and unfair prices in this establishment I cannot stop talking poorly about this experience. I personally have been in the restaurant industry for over 15 years and I can say wholeheartedly I've never treated a customer, potential customer or even a homeless man off the street like I was just treated in that restaurant. Shame on you folks and you aren't real industry. And I know you don't make noodles homemade. I'm a chef nearby. I'm going to prove that you can sell homemade lasagna for roughly $14/piece. I'll bring you a piece and I guarantee it's degrees better than yours. Yall do a great job of taking advantage of rich old people. And not feeding the people. Get real. * David you would have been embarrassed of your staff and there's not a chance your making noodles back there Why don't we talk about it. I'll be in later this week I'll bring real food with me. Not overcharged bullshit And I'm not embarrassed that I refuse to pay $30 for lasagna. You should be embarrassed you charge that much and have rude staff Also let me explain what it takes to make lasagna. Because I'm sure your not home made 1. Pasta hand made wheat eggs water maybe oil depending on 2. Bechamel. 3. Ragu 4. Italian cheese. Your trying to tell me your making your pasta bechamel and ragu? Because I can go to a real Italian. Restaurant and get lasagna for basically nothing. Because that's family. That's not price gouging like you are. You wanna go Dave? And as far as paying YOUR bills Dave. They are yours. But as chef and restaurateur myself I will not be caught dead. Price gouging like you do. Get a grip on reality and I can't wait to watch you fail. I'm going to serve far superior Italian food and take your ass the best I can. And I'll lose nothing for it. But you should eat your own foot. You are a joke in this town. And everyone knows it. I just learnt it. And for the staff that read this. I'm sure most of yall are great. But consider the place you make a dollar. When your owner is extorting not only the local populous. But most likely you as well. After being told to "go somewhere else" I went down the street got a steak, mashed potatoes and broccoli and a dessert for $38. I'll bring the receipt too read more

Our family visits nino's multiple times a year while vacationing in vero Beach. Last night we had an terribly embarrassing experience. We had a group of 8 people dining and informed the waitress that 5 of the 8 people were all veterans and asked about the military discount. The waitress told us she would take 10% off of our bills which they have always done in the past. In fact they had just given us the discount just 2 days prior when two of our party ate there. Last night after the waitress took our bills the manager came over to our tables and explained to us in front of a a full restaurant of other patrons very loudly that he does not give military discounts which we just said okay and continued paying our bills happily. We all continued finishing our drinks and visiting with each other when the manager came over again for the second time and again loudly embarrassed us requesting that we wrap it up and depart the restaurant because he had another large party coming in soon. We immediately left. I want you to know the manager clearly doesn't appreciate and honor our military veterans and we will not be returning to this location ever again read more

He was cocky while trying to seem like he had everything under control. The place was a madhouse, immediately I knew, this place has a new Owner. I wasn't wrong. The old Nino's we loved is no longer. I am sad by this and from what I witnessed that night, my husband and I are not the only ones feeling this way. What a shame!!

Great little restaurant. The food was delicious. I had fettuccine alfredo with chicken. Big portion and hot when served. So tired of warm food coming out of other restaurants. My wife went for their Italian hoagie,toasted. Loads of meat, bun was perfect. I had to have a bite. Delicious also. To start, we had the chicken wings. Great wings.Nice touch of heat. Our waitress was as good as the food.Just a pleasant young lady. On top of everything. We got to meet the owner as he asked us to relocate to another table as we were being seated so they could accommodate a large party. He threw in a free desert. Thank you! But he was hands-on at his restaurant and you can see it in how well it's kept and the food it serves. Definitely try this place. read more

Ehh. In from out of town. Nice bike ride to town center and looking for a quick bite and a slice of pizza sounded good. Literally walked into the restaurant at 2. Here is how the conversation went Q: Can I get a slice? A: Cashier...no, we stop at 2. The Manager(?) behind her said she did have 4 slices left, so we ordered 3 of them. Q: When asked dining in or out, I said I would just like to sit outside at one of the tables (there were 6 or so tables, one being used) A: Manager: If you sit outside you need a waitress....... Really? ***Reality is we got 1.5 slices per person, ate them in 5 minutes...had to eat at the park, but they couldn't let us just use the table to sit for the 5 minutes'. Why do I need a waiter for this? Q: When asked if we would like any toppings on the pizza, we asked if the mushrooms were canned or fresh (we don't like canned..just has that preservative taste). A: Cashier 'they are prepped each morning. Q: Does that mean fresh or canned A: They are Fresh. Reality when we got the pizza: They were canned. Barring mushroom gate, the pizza was better than average...just didn't have a great experience. read more

I'm having a hard time understanding how, in a tourist town such as Vero beach, there's a .5 mile radius for delivery? I also asked about a gluten free/dairy free crust. person answering the phone said hold on, I'll check. Came back on the line and said, it's not dairy free, there's egg in it. Culinary lesson: Eggs come from chickens, dairy comes from cows, sheep and possibly goats. Not chickens. How can a restaurant answer like this? Look, they were super nice and the food was good when I picked it up one year ago, but i gave the EXACT same answer then. Perhaps they can educate the staff better on allergies? Annoyed, hungry, and seeking delivery elsewhere. Do better, Ninos. read more

Apparently, they switched using the web service for taking orders on their site for delivery, but it didn't discontinue charging patrons and still charged me roughly $120+. The site sends pickup instructions to DoorDash, when the driver called and said there isn't an order here I was shocked. I had all the confirmations by text and email. When speaking with the establishment they explained they stopped using the service a week ago on their site and was told it isn't taking orders. At first it was a bit of a run around, kinda like oops not are fault it's the other company fault. Eventually I was able to speak to the owner and she explained about the website and said that the company will have to refund me, that they are very reliable. Still huge inconvenience. First thought was you should contact them if they are reliable, make the food and have it delivered. Since you charged me for it and the delivery service or you should deal with the refund ASAP. Instead, she contacted the service the service reassured me and he did and he said it could take 3 to 5 business days and blah blah blah. When I reached back out to the owner, I explained that to her and I said, but still now I'm here with no dinner or no food and she said well you can re-order through DoorDash. My response was so that I'm gonna pay twice and wait for 3 to 5 business days to get my original payment back, basically shelling out $$240, in hopes the other amount gets fixed. I'm like that doesn't seem quite right then she offered to remake it and send it out to me but that should been the first fix. That process took nearly 3 hours to figure out where my $120 went to and no food. Another long wait so I just ordered from another restaurant because I just didn't feel this establishment was reliable. The other restaurant delivered theirs 10 minutes prior to when my original request was delivered. SMH Now leading up to today, I figured, it's been a couple months...you know what let's give it another try May 1. I ordered this time through DoorDash, like the owner had suggested. The store called me back and said they're out of all three of the desserts I ordered I said no problem we switched it out. I got my delivery but NOW I'm missing a whole pizza. I called the Italian Market. They're closed. So then I called the restaurant and they explained to me your pizza sitting right here. Apparently, now that they're using DoorDash, one part of the order goes to the restaurant. One part of the order goes to the Italian market (same owner) and they expect DoorDash drivers to know to go to both. The topper was when the person I spoke to you on the phone suggested I call DoorDash to cancel it AND tell them I didn't get it and re-order AGAIN, PAY AGAIN! Wait AGAIN! This is kind of like the last time that they messed up my delivery order. We all know the saying, fool me once shame on me fool me twice shame on you. It's not the customer's job to make sure you manage how orders are processed and picked up and it's not right at all to take Customer's money and expect them to have to go through hoops to fix your mistake and re-order again from your establishment. I never left a yelp review when it transpired in March, I tried to give everybody a second chance, but this seems to be a pattern and a lack of respect for Customer's money that they spend at your establishment and their time. Such a shame. Subs are great...I guess as long as you get the after paying for the stuff you ordered. Do better Armani's just do better

Really Small Place with Amazing Food and People!…read more A small, casual spot that's great for grabbing a quick bite. The staff was friendly and down-to-earth, and the menu had plenty of good options. It's a typical beachside restaurant, but being right by the water and within walking distance of our hotel made it especially convenient. They were also open later than most places, which was a big plus. I'd definitely go back.

Solid pizza spot that offers some great combinations and delicious food…read more Cheese & Sausage Pizza- great White Pizza- okay Knotty Knots- okay. A little too thick and less airy than I would like Greek Salad- more feta than lettuce but good nonetheless. Got it to go so I'm not sure how the in house service is. The takeout service was quick and easy.

The Italian Cousin delivered on every plate. We ordered the lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs,…read morecalamari fritti, stuffed mushrooms or rollatini, and a caprese salad. Each dish came out well portioned and clearly made with care. The lasagna was the standout. Browned cheese on top, a rich tomato sauce underneath. The layers held together and the filling was seasoned properly. The spaghetti and meatballs were hearty. Three large meatballs, good sauce coverage, and a side of garlic bread that was worth eating on its own. The calamari was fried light and crispy, not greasy, served with a marinara dipping sauce and a lemon wedge. The caprese used fresh mozzarella with a balsamic glaze drizzle. Clean, simple, done right. The fries were a simple side, golden and hot. Service was attentive and the setting felt like a proper neighborhood Italian spot. Make a reservation. This place fills up fast and for good reason. We walked in as they opened and so many were coming in behind us. One side note, the sangria ran a bit bitter. Stick to wine or beer instead.

This Italian restaurant food is phenomenal! Gus, the chef is got my vote for the Tri-County area…read more if you're driving through and you're hungry, this is a must stop!

Scampi Grill is a lovely Italian restaurant in Vero. Everyone enjoyed a nice meal that included…read morehappy hour drinks, escargot (delicious and buttery), duck sausage, lots of garlic bread, meatballs, and main courses of fish, veal, chicken and pasta. The happy hour drink prices are incredible and a great draw. We all enjoyed 2 drinks during happy hour with some appetizers. All our apps tasted delicious, especially the escargot. Dipping the bread in the buttery sauce was top tier. Unfortunately, our server was really rushing us through happy hour to order our meal. We had just flown into town to visit our parents and had this reservation for about a week. Since the moment we sat down we felt extremely rushed to order our apps and entrees at the same time (at 4:30). We told her several times that we wanted to enjoy some drinks and apps before ordering but she kept pushing. She was very nice but we felt very rushed until the restaurant started to fill up. Once she had more tables to serve she seemed to chill out on us. But it really put a damper on our meal. Everyone had a clean plate and was very happy with our entrees. The triple fish special was delicious. I would have preferred it not to be breaded but I would definitely eat it again. By the end of our meal we were happy with our server and had a great rest of the night.

Lots of cars in the parking lot on a Monday evening ! This started out with a good sign…read more.. Great service , meals were good and great . Dessert was yummy and top notch. Intial drinks and apps came out right away , meals came out a bit late . Reservations at 6 , meals at 720.. but fast drinks and app in-between. Nice patio heaters outside where it was a bit cold and windy . Drinks - not worth perhaps the price of the cocktails , but the wine bottle was a deal! All seemed to like their food , the vibe and of course the company ;). We will be back for sure !!

Food and service is fantastic. A little noisy when dining room is full but still enjoyableread more

We had a reservation for 12 people (only 10 ended up attending) and within the first half an hour…read morewe were without drinks, bread, or our server asking for our orders. When we did get bread it was quite raw in the middle and after we asked for it to be cooked a little more thoroughly the next time it came out crispier but still raw in the center. I understand that it can get busy but it felt a bit overkill that an hour after ordering our food finally, though very slowly started coming out. It was okay to say the most, I ordered the Pizza which I was rather disappointed in. If I wasted to spend almost $20 on a pizza there's a better place near my house. This place was rather disappointing The outdoors area is nice looking, and the Ambiance is alright, but if you're used to mosquitoes and no-see-ums then I would go inside. Unfortunately this is not somewhere I would avidly seek out to eat at, and the only reason this place is receiving two stars from me is because some of the people in my group enjoyed their meals while others said it was disappointing. I ended up trying one of my group members pasta and it was just flavorless besides a fish flavor which wasn't all too pleasant (we did not end up taking the leftovers of it due to this) Two hours after we arrived everything was served and people have eaten. If you wanted a somewhat quick meal then this is not your place. The cannoli was pretty good although all together flavorless. The tiramisu was something else, not in a good way though. The lady fingers were dry and brittle, the only thing you could taste was the cacao powder on top of it. I did ask for it to go so that may be my fault but I didn't expect a half empty little container of it. The mascarpone was almost a liquid which was new to me. I was altogether highly disappointed in this establishment as I expected much more from somewhere that claimed that "It's an Art at Pomodoro" and that they strive to provide the highest quality dining experience. Looking back this place was definitely more deserving of one of the star.
