The highlight of our dinner at this restaurant was definitely our server. She was extremely friendly and provided us with all the information we wanted about the food and wine. The pasta was decent, but the arancini was fantastic.

This restaurant is truly exceptional, with delightful aromas that will leave you speechless and make you forget to take photos of the incredible dishes. It’s definitely going to become our go-to spot for date nights. Nino welcomes guests in the evening and takes great pleasure in making them feel as if they've entered his own home.

I really enjoyed this restaurant! The atmosphere was nice, the service was excellent, and the food was fantastic. We tried the arancini, which were good but definitely had a different flavor compared to authentic Italian arancini. The gorgonzola gnocchi was a highlight—delicious with a light and sweet gorgonzola flavor. They offered a great selection of Italian wines, which I appreciated; I went with a Chianti. My friend had a martini, and she was quite pleased with it. The dessert, pistachio crème de catalana, was outstanding. I highly recommend this place!

Excellent food and even better service! We came in late on a Friday night and sat at the bar. Outdoor tables looked nice as well. The owner greeted us and was so welcoming. Our bartender, Holt was awesome and very knowledgeable about the wine menu. We ordered the Branzino and the Lobster Fra Diablo special. It was absolutely perfect. We will definitely be making this our new go-to Italian spot!

Ninos is hands down one of the best restaurants in the the DMV. My family and I have been requesting this gem for 4 yrs now. The owner Mr. Nino is very warm and friendly. He visits every table to add a personal feel. The food, the ambiance, is amazing, and service is amazing.
