In Short – Nina's is housed in one of those shopping center eyesores. But step through the doors of this chic ristorante and you'll forget all about its banal locale. Walls washed in deep red, majolica ceramics and a sweeping green mural of old-country hills welcome diners straight into the heart of Tuscany. Tuscan bread and ripe salsa fresca. Canneloni filled with spinach ricotta. And fresh sea bass swimming in a caper marinara.

- Know Before You Go:
- Make reservations and get directions. Nina's is hard to find.
The BEST Italian in Raleigh
by seattleblue at Citysearch
We have loved this restaurant since it opened. The food is great and wait staff wonderful. Excellen atmosphere and price is very reasonable. Go...no RUN to Ninas for a great meal.
The Worst ristorante experience
by majorseven at Citysearch
We went there Friday night. Went to the bar, had a great bottle of wine. We met the great bartenders and were finally seated. That was it, completely forgotten about except for the staff member that filled our water glasses. Waited and waited for a waiter to at least acknowledge he would be serving us, nothing. We decided to leave and on the way out we told a staff member we were leaving and would never return. You should have seen the look on his face! Then went to Bruno's in Wake Forest and had the best steak and experience ever in a restaurant. Don't bother with Nina's.
Nina's, a jewel

Everything about Nina's is special. The staff are top notch. The ambiance is lovely. The place has great energy and spririt. The food is always super fresh. Then, Nina adds love to her dishes. We will return time and time again. A great time!

We love Nina's -- it is also a great option for take out -- call in order and pick it up at the bar.
Impromptu Family Fun!
by Budjan at Citysearch
It started out with just me and two of my kids and as texting goes, another one joined us 30 minutes later, followed by another one after that. The waiter was great and accomodating, working with the kitchen for timing our food and adding extra chairs and place settings. The salmon and crab special was fabulous and, because everything is made to order, my son was able to have the Polla Donna Anna without mushrooms with out a fuss!
Of course, the wine pairing was excellent as usual.
(Michael was our waiter, by the way) I highly recommend him and Nina's for any occasion.

Owners Chris and Nina Psarros of Nina's Ristorante warmly opened its doors to the ever-growing Raleigh area in September of 1999, to an overwhelming and highly praised reception that hasn't stopped. They continue to receive high praise from not only local restaurant critics but from the people who are most important to them, the guests that happily line the bar to experience for the first or tenth time the magic of food and wine.
