Yes locals do visit and they are sitted towards the back. What does it mean? who knows. The pasta is edible, everything else is served "a la carte" Yes, they charge a per person fee for the bread they automatically place in front of you. If you are looking for friendly service and hospitality - this is not the place... more

Great food but very poor service! more

Nino is near the Spanish Steps. Tom Cruise took Katie Holmes when they got married. The restaurant is moderately priced and terrific. House wine is really good. Try the Roman artichokes and the pasta carbonara. The lamb and potatoes were ok, not great. However, for dessert, the chestnut cake was AWESOME! One of the best cakes I have ever eaten.... more

Nino's restaurant is not very far from the Spanish Steps and via Condotti, because of that you pay a much higher price than what you would pay for a better meal elsewhere. We found our food was good, but not great or fabulous as suggested by some others. I would say venture further away from the tourist areas more

Excellent food. Try the tagliolini with black truffles. Marvelous! more

Family of four, two nicely dressed teenage boys included, had dinner here in late June 2008.

We spent 4 days in Rome and ate at Ninos twice. It's a wonderful restaurant that serves great food and is well priced. On both occasions the staff were attentive and profesional. Try the vegetable antipasto, liver venetian style, grilled Veal chop and the profiteroles!! Don't forget to make a reservation otherwise you won't get in. more

This place is bit of real Rome in an area that's filled with lots of spots that cater to tourists. But residents of Rome have been visiting Nino for years, and little has changed. more

This place is an institution. A must eat for any foodie. more
