Excellent! Open today during snow storm until 5pm. No deliveries today. Due to the obvious— the roads are terrible.
Really friendly staff. We dined in. They were pretty quick with getting drinks appetizers and our meals.
They offer gluten free pasta and pizza.
There food was fantastic. We ordered the meatball and sausage appetizer a couple of pizzas and a pasta meal. Everything was perfect!
Not sure if you guys are a chain if you are consider branching out to Niantic. Looking forward to ordering from you guys again very soon. Thank you!!
Update:
Placed a $100+ to go order... it was a very large order [we were having a birthday party]—on a weekday—keep that in mind. I had the guy taking my order read back to me what I ordered to be certain NOTHING GOT SCREWED UP! He says 45 minutes. Upon arrival [arrived earlier then 45 minutes]—to be on the safe side. Our order wasn’t ready to go yet however part of it sat. And sat and sat and sat. Waited an hour. Finally order is complete and ready to go. Of course food was—COLD. From what? Sitting there. Pizza was—BURNT! Crust was brick hard. INEDIBLE! Tossed it into the trash and it sounded like a bag of rocks hit my Simplehuman trash can. Asked for oil and vinegar dressing they gave us a thick [I don’t know what kind] of dressing. The tomatoes on the salads were—SOGGY! Not crisp and fresh tasting. One of the other salads came already dressed [you’d think when they’re making a salad to go they’d know better than to add dressing directly to salad as opposed to putting it on the side so it doesn’t get SOGGY] and the dressing was too sweet. Asked for double chicken on a meal... they charged us for double chicken —NO CHICKEN! The sauce on the pasta meals was pretty much dry from sitting for so long on the pass. The calzone... the cheese was thick and congealed by the time we got back and served it. It just didn’t look very appetizing. The calamari appetizer was like chewing on rubber. I am cringing as I type this review. I can understand one mistake. Maybe two. But you guys completely ruined the birthday dinner we had hosted. Food was so COLD we had to toss it into the microwave. What a shame. I was beyond angry to even pick up the phone and speak to a manager/owner/someone. It would of been me picking them apart verbally. We wanted to just enjoy the rest of our evening considering how absolutely terrible the food was. How disappointing for you guys to drop the ball so hard like this. We had high hopes since we have dined in twice before and have gotten take out a few times as well. Obviously, they were smaller take out orders. As you can see, I gave you guys praise and 5 stars originally because you were great then. Now, I give you guys one star and to be honest it’s being really really generous. I simply want a refund. Would we recommend this place? NO. Would we ever return? Absolutely not. Like I said—I want a refund. If it weren’t for the birthday dinner we were hosting, we would have driven down with the cold, burnt, and missing food items of the order and demanded a refund. Honestly, I wouldn’t have left without a refund or all my food be made fresh and given to me hot—like it was supposed to be in the first place. Absolutely disappointed. What on earth happened to you guys? How do you go from being awesome to...
Read moreOf all the places in and around south eastern Connecticut, I have heard one name repeated many times over. It is not just a name of a place but the history of the people that it comes from. I remember the old valentinos in ledyard, the energy and faces that once made that restaurant what it was. Since that erra I've only heard of the switch over to ninos, never getting to experience if the food was still up to that standard. Well I can tell you finally my friends that of all the pizza and all the places you can go. If this one's a top your list you may do yourself a favor to find some where else. I myself had a pizza which was okay a little thing and crisp for my liking but the sauce was good. It honestly made the pizza with the minimal toppings spared over an 18 dollar small pie. But much to anyone's surprise no other dishes where any more partial. Pastas with no meat for 20 dollars a plate sitting next to a pasta dish with fish which current market value is above 3x chicken. So the pasta dish below it with salmon is unexpectedly cheaper. Now if the sounds of this haven't quite convinced you. Let me then add to you the next week of my life that was inflicted after dinning here. My wife's food was also as described to me bland yet optimistic that I may personally enjoy it as a left over the following day. Unfortunately I took her up on that offer, and hours later I come home to a very ill wife, with food poisoning. And a daughter with food poisoning. After a quick conversation our daughter had also shared upon my wife's dish the night prior. And now regretting my decision only a few hours before ended up the following day as well.. with food poisoning. I have not had an experience with a resturant that I know undoubtedly so I will never return to. But between the cost of plates between the service and the atmosphere I just don't see the comparison. I don't see the value in the name ninos nor the hype that goes into the restaurant. Omongst all else I will never forget how sick we all got from such under rated food in the first place. 🙃 just a most terrible experience and to know I paid good money to end up out of work and get my entire family sick. I would suggest anyone seeing this be...
Read moreIt's rare I can mark a full five in all the zones, but Ninos- Y'all got it. I visited with my mother earlier today. We both got to watch as the nice man at the counter aided an elderly woman with her order to her car. Good humans here, for sure.
First off to bat, I hear the kitchen laughing. I'm a firm believer in happy people making tasty food, so frankly I was reassured. The venue's lovely, just comfortable, cool, and clean. Friendly happy folks in the kitchen, always a good sign.
The SMELL here- Was fantastic. My sense of smell is normally dead, but the savories of garlics and baking goods really really stood out to me. I was incredibly pleased at how nicely the goods on display were explained when I asked, and ended up getting a side order of the garlic knots. (By the way, we ripped into the knots in the parking lot- Fluffy, warm, the bread was pretty and the pungent garlic NAILED it all together
