Other reviews, food takes to long and service is slow. Expect to not rush here, it's just not that type of place!! We arrived on a Sunday around 4PM, there was hardly anyone in the dining area so I was surprised when the bartender had to check the reservation book before seating us. Luckily, we were seated in the bar area right away. As time progressed, I realized why a reservation was so important. The restaurant got very busy, very quickly. Make reservations! There is a bar area, indoor dining, and an outdoor patio. My friend and I both had parmesan dishes, she had chicken parmesan which was a huge portion and I had the eggplant parmesan which I hoped to be a little bigger of a portion, at least the size as my friend's chicken parmesan. No salads or soups were included with the entrees, which would be a nice touch, especially for the price point ($20+) The bread that was served was amazing, and paired with peppers. I wish we would have had more, the two of us were given two slices and the heel of the loaf which we shared between the two of us. To go, I ordered the spicy pepper linguini with homemade Italian sausage, my husband said it was great and the portion was giant ($22) Would definitely come back again for the food. The venue is also pretty awesome, surrounded by antiques and a house with many stories. read more

My wife and I just had dinner here with a Road Scholar group. Service was friendly and attentive. The food was served buffet style, and we enjoyed the chicken parmigiana, eggplant parmigiana, and the dessert (a selection of tasty berry pies). The other dishes we tried, including a salad, and a pasta dish with vegetables, were OK. read more

Great food and even better atmosphere. The outside patio is beautiful. Especially when music is playing or if they have a band. I had my sons baptism here in the upstairs room overlooking the entrance way and it was beautiful.. great food / & the service was excellent. read more

Nino's catered a family reunion for 80 and did an amazing job. Delicious food, ready on time and plenty for take home packages--everyone loved chicken Milanese, (not your average) Mac N Cheese, creamy Egg Potato Salad, grilled vegetables and assortment of delicious Italian and American deli meats and relishes. We were proud to serve this wonderful spread to family and friends. read more

Great bar service, great pours, great vibes. Stasia was so sweet. Would def come back again.

Beautiful setting outside and inside. classic northern Italian fare and attentive staff. A must stop

I've been here several times and never felt like the food or service was good enough for the price.

Worst pizza I've eaten in my entire life it tastes like hard sweet bread and they put a single piece of cheese on it, it's like they got frozen pizza and heat it up, but that would probably be better read more

The white table linens were nice, the decor was cozy except for some of the Victorian pictures . But the food was very disappointing. Nothing seemed fresh or super tasty. Was expecting more. May have been an off night but I don't think I'll return. read more

Loved the food and the atmosphere! The old house is so cool with all of the antiques. The food and service were wonderful. Will definitely be back! read more

Nino's has apparently been around a long time, and it has a quaint family feel to it. It's in an old building and is decorated with interesting antiques and memorabilia. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. We were given yummy homemade bread and tomato-garlic jam as a starter, which we really enjoyed. I had pasta with shrimp, which was great, and just the right amount of food. Would go again if I'm ever in the area. read more

Very good food and a nice atmosphere at the base of the Laurel Summit. I wish they still had the appetizer bar...always liked it. Nice place for a quiet and relaxing dinner. read more

Great restaurant on the edge of Laurel Highlands. Dining area very nice and affordable. Great service.

Stay away unless you want to get scammed. Real easy story here ...- We went in, got seated & took quite a while which is OK. We get it, good staff is hard to come by. We order 2 chicken parm meals and the waiter asks us 'sour or salad' ... common right? They do that at Oliver garden.... But no, when the check came they charged us 11 dollars for the side salad and 9'dollars for the side of soup.... I have nothing else to say even thought I could go on.... Have fun getting ripped off if you really want to go here. read more

Visited here for the first time over the weekend, after wanting to come here for YEARS. We got a seat on the patio, which was incredibly charming and cozy with gorgeous views of their garden. I had an iced tea to start. For our meals, my fiance got the steak salad (special) and I had the wedding soup and the chicken milanese. The bread was the first to come out. It was delicious- I especially liked the cornbread. It came out with butter and this caramelized onion/ tomato mixture, which was SO good. The wedding soup was also very delicious and was topped with fresh grated cheese, making it even better. Our entrees were great as well, but I do think the chicken milanese was a bit underwhelming. It was essentially just breaded chicken breast and without the lemon wedge, it wasn't very flavorful. The pasta it was served with was good, and the meal was tasty inspite of it being not very interesting. I'll get something else next time. My fiance loved the steak salad. Overall, we had a great time and loved walking around the inside and outside of the property- it's pretty stunning! Hope to come back for brunch before the end of the year! read more

Let me start by saying, I cannot say enough good stuff about this place. I love every single detail at this restaurant. The food is very good, the staff is super courteous, the location is great, the atmosphere is one of the best, the bar area is romantic, etc. See??? If you are ever in the area please do yourself a favor and try this place. You will thank me later! read more

My husband and I were traveling home to Pa and stopped on Saturday. We arrived at 3:45, but thought we could have a drink and wait for dinner. A blonde women told us very rudely that they did not open til 4pm , never offered to seat us ,and was so awful and unwelcoming that we left. What has happened to this once favorite restaurant? The warmth and hospitality that NIno had is not here. The food is mediocre at best , and the whole place is in dire need of renovation. Very sad. read more

I absolutely love this place. It has a warm atmosphere, lovely employees, and top notch home cooked meals. Megan took care of us at the bar, she's quite lovely always makes great recommendations. After a day of hiking the LHT we always come here to refuel. The chicken parm is outstanding, the sauce and noodles are homemade. You can't go wrong. I recommend trying any desert. Tonight we tried the carrot cake. Megan brought it out with a candle for my birthday. She sang happy Birthday along with my fiancé. I strive for a high level of customer service with my work, creating a wow experience. They've done that tonight, not only am I happy, but my belly is too. read more

Just moved back to the area and was excited to eat here again. Boy was I disappointed. The service was the worst I had in a long time, worst meaning I think I aged while I waited because dinner took 2.5 hours for 2 people and they were not busy. Seated and it took 10 minutes to get a menu and another 10 for drinks. The waiter was pleasant and my Mom and I disregarding the wait thinking it would improve. Then the food took long. The food was average, could have put more sausage in for the price of the meal. The waiter came buy and asked us if we wanted more water well that didn't come and about 15 min after that we had enough. He comes by and says I haven't seen you in awhile.....you think?? I said we want to go boxes, dessert to go and our check. Waited and waited, so I decided to go inside and hunt him down. I think he was too busy impressing his regulars well he lost out on one. They had more than enough staff from what I could see, no idea why the guy that sat tables from time to time didn't ask if anyone needed help?? Or why our waiter didn't ask! The dessert was the best part but still not worth the price for a tiny sliver. read more

The atmosphere was ok. My husband had salmon and risotto. The risotto was not cooked and the salmon had no seasoning. I had eggplant parm that tasted like it was frozen and they just threw it in a frying pan. Very small portion sizes and all the for 75... no side salad because you have to pay extra. This is an overpriced dish of undercooked no seasoning tiny portion sizes of food that cane off the truck frozen. You'd have better food at an eat n park and pay way less! read more

Fantastic !! Old school Italian - awesome pasta dishes - big portions - great unique appetizers - excellent meatballs -- wedding soup -- shout out to Arlene and Nino - few old school places are left - highly recommend - and service was outstanding !! read more

The food was pretty good, everyone ordered something different, and we were all happy with our choices. We made a reservation to be seated outside, but when we arrived, we were told that there was a private party on the patio. My parents were disappointed since we specifically drove an hour to meet for this occasion. My mom made the reservation a week prior to the date, and nobody ever called to inform us that we would not be outside. The inside dining room resembles my great grandmother's house, not the atmosphere we anticipated. read more

Sunday afternoon, late October. Three motorcycles and six hungry riders. We get to eat outside one more time and we are loving the patio at Ninos. Its gorgeous. We started with pizzettes. Thin crusted. Flavor packed. We tried two as appetizers and would not hesitate to any variation! Friends tried the calamari and have a thumbs up. Black Sea Bass on special. Yes, please! It was fabulous, served with a creamy risotto and a small arugula salad, so good. There seemed to be a little dissension in our group about what constituted Bolognese sauce vs the version presented, but overall we all left happily well fed. We would definitely go back. The service was pleasant and fun read more

Although the restaurant needs updated and needs to be better lite, the staff was very friendly and the food was tasty. I ordered a 6 oz steak with all the trimming, mushrooms, friend green peppers and onions, and was made I ordered it, well done but not burnt. The setting of the restaurant is more of a romantic feel for couples, but would not mind going back again read more

Great place to stop for a meal if you're on the way to FallingWater! We went on a Sunday and were able to catch the Sunday Brunch Buffet! The brunch was great! It's not the type of brunch you find at a trendy restaurant with a bunch of girls catching up about the night before, but instead it's a nice cozy, yummy, filling brunch. There were lots of large groups and it looked like this was definitely the spot to be on a Sunday afternoon! The service is great and you could tell most of the patrons were regulars. read more

Nino's Restaurant - Cozy and the place to be for Sunday brunch! - Italian Near Me - Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania

Nino's is AWESOME! Great food, great service, and a beautiful atmosphere. It is a rustic old farmhouse. The decor is good. The food is the star. There were 6 in our party. One had Pappardelle with Pomodoro sauce. 2 had Veal Scallopini. 1 had the Antipasto cart and spaghetti and one had the antipasto cart and French Onion soup and 1 Chicken Parm. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The pasta is cooked perfectly. The French onion soup was awesome. The cheese was nice and gooey. If you have a chance go to Nino's, you will not regret it. We will be going back! read more

Excellent service and tasty food. We sat in the lounge so we could listen to 2 piece singers and guitar player. 60-70's music played well. Husband and I (60+ years old) got the fried green tomatoes since it is peak tomato season. Light breading. Husband had chicken with wild mushrooms and I had the baked halibut. Both excellent. Our wait staff was amazing. He has a charming personality and humor. Made sure all was perfect without being on the edge of annoying. Thanks. Would recommend this place highly. For the two specials, an appetizer, a glass of wine and tea/coffee, the bill with tip was $100. read more

Had a most pleasant surprise having a holiday luncheon at Nino's yesterday. Since I hadn't been there for ages, I wasn't sure what to expect .The atmosphere hasn't changed in at least 20 years, but it is so charming and doesn't feel dated at all. The food was delicious. Started with the fried zucchini which was served with lemon, horseradish and marinara sauces. It was excellent, not greasy and perfectly fried. Next was the special, chicken Marsala served with a nice baby arugula salad. The sauce of the Marsala was excellent and the salad was perfect. Warm bread served with a caramelized onion jam was great to sop up the last bit of that yummy sauce. No room for dessert, unfortunately. I will definitely return, perhaps in the summer when I can sit outside. read more

I had the pleasure of eating at Ninos for the first time in about 20 years the other day. It has very nice atmosphere and the food was outstanding. They have an interesting menu and some unusual items. Try the onion soup if you go. read more

Went with my husband for our 40th anniversary. Great service. Nice atmosphere. Best chicken parm ever

Wow. This is the first time Yelp dropped the ball. Hard. Like a glass ball on concrete. On a trip to Fallingwater we stopped by Nico's. Let me start by saying that I am no skinflint and I have no reservation spending money on a great meal. This place however is a colossal rip off. We called for reservations and we were given the brush off and told that they were completely booked with no seating until 8pm. We arrived early thinking that we would have a drink at the bar and the place was 90% empty. Like ghost town/crickets empty. The hostess apologized and explained that they were swamped with catering orders and were understaffed. This seemed reasonable but didn't explain why the same hostess was sitting at the bar eating dinner and drinks with two servers on our way out...but I digress. The service was not good. You can completely tell that this restaurant must NEVER get busy because everyone working seemed completely flustered and overwhelmed by the fact that there was more than one table being used in the restaurant. The food was actually quite tasty and well prepared. And then the bill came. Holy cow. I nearly dropped over dead. $250 for four of us. No dessert. Just salad and an entree. Complete rip off, especially considering the lackluster service and lack of attentiveness by the wait staff. Pass right on by Nico's and so yourself a grand favor: pack a picnic instead. read more

It pains me to say this ... but the filet and the Cajun shrimp were good. Beyond that ... it was a terrible experience. Service was HORRIBLE!! That ruined the whole meal. Friendly waitress and staff but not there and way too long for drinks. Really slow! The crab cakes would be best my Mrs. T's or Stouffers. Really bad. Terrible taste and too many bland bread crumbs. Way too many good reviews for this place. read more

Enjoy the seafood. Soft shell crabs are delicious when in season. Service is always good.

We visited Nino's Restaurant in Mt. Pleasant, PA., a beautiful and scenic 3 hour easy drive from Akron. We were there 35 years ago for my cousins wedding reception and my children were just 5 and 7. We have been wanting to go back and yesterday Aug 6, 2016 we finally made it back with our two best friends of 45 years...so special. I would like to mention that the area surrounding the restaurant is beautiful and an easy drive from Akron, Ohio. We also visited Nemacolin Woodlands, Falling Water, Christian Klay Winery and we stayed at the most wonderful cottage nearby. A little tricky to find, however, next time it will be easier. The service was wonderful, patio was lovely and intimate with a good mix of people that were all friendly - the food was exceptional - the real deal Italian! We all had salads, linguine with sausage, pasta with clams, fried green tomatoes, a delicious flat bread pizza and a pasta dish my friend had - all dishes were phenomenal, well prepared, hot and delivered by a lovely waitress. I will say that the menu was thoughtfully planned using fresh ingredients and well executed by the chef - congrats! A nice variety of dishes and not overwhelming - you too will spot your favorite dish - its just that good. Lastly, I want to mention we were a little nervous the day before because we couldn't reach anyone on the phone for a reservation and we were traveling around the area. I called again and left a message and the daughter of the owner called back and made sure we were taken care of . . . a fabulous plate of Antipasto was delivered to our table by her and it was so delicious - the way antipasto should be served. It was such a surprise and much appreciated, however, we were just happy to be there after a day of travel. I would suggest if you have any issues with your cell phone - go anyway, they are extremely gracious and welcoming. Enjoy the gardens and we strongly recommend dining at Nino's fabulous restaurant and don't forget to order the antipasto. Drinks were right on point. To the owners of Nino's we will have the best memories of last night and many years to come. Can't wait for an encore. TIP: If you are a person that knows quality you will love Nino's. If you're the type that likes a certain chain restaurant type of Italian fare - forget it you won't appreciate the fine quality. Many, Many, Thanks The Shaws Akron Ohio read more

Delicious food. Calamari was perfect. French onion soup was good, croutons could be a little harder, less mushy. Caprese salad was well dressed. Though the pizza crust was dense, chewy, and sweet. Linguine with clams was well seasoned and the noodles were perfectly el dente. The veal parm was cooked well, not dry. read more

Pro - Food was good. Con - Service was bad. Atmosphere was a bit evocative. I give this place one star because I did enjoy the food; however, it was tainted with poor service. I arrive and went to the hostess for seating. She said the wait would be roughly 1/2 hour. We had time so we waited at the bar and ordered drinks. We waited there for probably 45 minutes before asking the hostess if we would be seated soon. She looked at her wait list and indicated that she forgot about us. We could get seated soon. Then after another 15 minutes we were seated --- in an EMPTY dinning room.... After sitting at our table in the EMPTY dinning room, we waited another 10 minutes for the waitress to notice and finally serve us water. The waitress acted as if it was our problem we were there. This sort of service continued during our entire time there. Additionally - hello HOUSE OF HORRORS. I am all about unique restaurants and interesting decor...but this was reminiscent of getting lost in a Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie. Dust and must abounding and a omniscient sense of being watched. Tis the season? read more

We visited Nino's on Friday evening before a visit to Fallingwater. Nino's is almost unbelievably charming and has a very warm atmosphere. Even Nino is real! We had a very good evening, great food and excellent service. read more

Hello Nino's! We have driven by this gem for years. Finally decided to stop today. So glad we did. What a charming place. We stopped at the bar. The bartender (Tammy) very knowledgeable - gave us a tour of the place and a history lesson. The dining rooms are beautiful, the stained glass gorgeous, and the patio is lovely. We had the antipasti platter, the homemade meatballs, and the pasta with homemade red sauce. Delicious. Every bite. The antipasti platter was ingenious! It was loaded with goodness - marinated mushrooms, artichokes, peppers, olives, anchovy crostini, tomato pie tuna and white bean, hot soppressata, mild salami, peppered salami, prosciutto, wonderful cheeses. Served with homemade bread and cornbread with an incredible tomato jam. We will be back. The had soft-shell crabs as one of the specials, if we weren't so full we would have tried that too! read more

My husband and I have always wanted to go to this restaurant and decided to go here for our 40th Anniversary. We told the hostess when we went in that it was a special occasion. Our reservation was for 7pm and we were seated at 7:30. The food was excellent and the service fair. Only one observation, it is clear that this restaurant caters to their regulars. This is ok but at some point if you don't recognize new clientele, there will come a day that the old are no longer there and the new ??? read more

On a cross country road trip to Seattle via all the awesome places I've wanted to see... On my way to see Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water house and this place is such a hidden gem. The patio seating on a June evening was PERFECT! The drinks were perfect and the food was fresh and delicious. In the middle of NOWHERE. This place is definitely worth a visit. read more
