Nina's Italian Resturant & Pizzera — Restaurant in City of Oneonta

The food quality was great, really delicious! The overall experience though, is what made our decision to not order dinner from Nina's in the future, unless there are certain changes made.

We've ordered dinners from Sal's in the past because of their quality, portion size, and price. Unfortunately they aren't offering dinner entrées at this time, so we decided to order from Nina's.

The reason for my 3 (preferably 2.5) star rating is this - the portion size in relation to the price was ridiculous. We ordered the Chicken Marsala entrée, and it was just shy of $27 altogether. When I saw the food in the container once my husband brought it home, disappointment settled in real quick. It all came down to portion size and what was paid for this amount.

The linguine layered with chicken on top literally filled the container about an inch high. There was a good inch above it that was just empty space.

I'm aware of how you need to make a profit to keep your restaurant up and running. I'm also aware, like most businesses do, that you likely order your ingredients in bulk, including your to-go containers and take out bags, which means it's really costing you less in the long run, making it more easily sustainable to earn your profits.

I am a mom of 3 who often cooks homemade meals for my family, so I'm aware of the current inflation. We are ALL experiencing it. I don't have the space or money to buy in bulk, so it costs me about $30 to $35 at most when I prepare a chicken or beef dish that'll also include pasta and veggies. These are meals that are made to feed at least 5 people, and there are usually leftovers.

That being said, why did we have to pay almost the same price for a meal that can't even feed two people?

Bottom line, we needed more linguine. It does not cost that much at all, we know that and you should know that. It's also a great filler. We may not have been as upset having a similar amount of chicken and marsala sauce if you had only filled the container with more pasta. The fact we ended up having to cook additional pasta ourselves in order for tonights dinner to make sense, defeated the point of ordering out.

Please think on this. You DO make great food, but $18 would have made more sense than what we paid for, with how much...

★★★★★ – Absolutely Amazing Pizza and a Local Gem

Nina’s Pizza is hands down one of the best pizza spots I’ve ever been to — and I don’t say that lightly. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place has heart. It’s not just another chain; it’s a cozy, welcoming, family-run place that clearly takes pride in everything they serve.

The food? Incredible. The pizza is next-level. The crust is that perfect balance between crispy on the outside and soft, chewy on the inside. You can tell it’s made fresh, not some frozen nonsense. The sauce is flavorful and just the right amount of tangy, and the cheese… wow. It’s gooey, perfectly melted, and doesn’t feel greasy or overwhelming. Whether you’re a plain cheese kind of person or like to pile on the toppings (try the pepperoni and sausage combo!), every slice is satisfying from start to finish.

They also offer garlic knots, wings, salads, and a few pasta dishes — and everything I’ve tried has been solid. The garlic knots are soft, buttery, and addictive. The wings are crispy and packed with flavor. It’s clear that quality ingredients are a top priority here.

The staff and service? Super friendly. Everyone working there is always kind, patient, and genuinely seems to care about your experience. Even when they’re busy, they’re efficient and polite, which really makes a difference. The place is clean and well-kept, and there’s a relaxed, welcoming vibe that makes you want to come back.

Prices? Totally fair. For the quality of food you’re getting, the prices are more than reasonable. You get generous portions and never feel like you’re overpaying.

Final thoughts: Nina’s Pizza is a must-visit if you’re anywhere nearby. Whether you’re grabbing a quick slice after school, picking up dinner for the family, or just craving something really good, this is the spot. It’s the kind of place you keep coming back to — and tell everyone you know about. Five stars,...

Terrible! we were a party of 4....3 of us have never been to New York I was bragging to them that they never tried pizza until they had pizza from New York in Chicago... so because of the reviews, we pick this place and was highly disappointed. We ordered some calamari that was overcooked, rubbery, and you can tell it was frozen not fresh at all... also order a Basil salad that didn't have no flavor, no seasoning was not fresh at all ordered a clam pasta dish that was full of oil! Now last but not least we would have gave them a pass on all those items had the pizza been good, the pizza was terrible, I've been going to New York myself for years and for this to be their first experience, was awful! I have always had delicious pizza from New York, it was nothing special about this pizza all the toppings wasn't great at all, not fresh tasted like something you could have just bought out the store, I was really surprised we had the XL Ninas special, and it wasn't nothing special about it! after reading the reviews, you would think that at least the pizza would have been good in have authentic Italian taste, but no it didn't! if you looking for real food, with real authentic Italian pizza and food. don't try this place, I was very upset about the $80 we spent for...
