Nino's Italian Restaurant - Barrie

Quiet dinner for two. Recommend a reservation as we were lucky at the time to get a table on a walkable basis. We could really hear what each other said without talking loud! Service was great and very friendly, food was delicious and served in appropriate time. The price was appropriate for the event.

Just finished a dish of spaghetti with a caesar salad and delicious garlic bread. This is a family favorite, large portions for lunch rests the next day. Service is always fantastic!

We ordered the Lasagna special for pickup. We were told it would be 30 minutes. When we got there the door was locked and no instructions on where to go or what to do. After knocking on the door we were told our order would be 5 minutes longer. After 5 minutes we were told it would be another 10 minutes. Finally we received our meal in the parking lot and headed home. The food was very good with a homestyle taste.

Was expecting more, got to the restaurant at 7pm, ordered entrees and main at same time. didn't get entree until 720, good timing. Main Course did not arrive until 8:10pm, Fettuccine Alfredo had too much salt in it and was very cheesy. Asked for a water waited for 20 minutes to get a refill on water glasses, no drink menu. As far as the rating for 1 star because it is very expensive for a small local restaurant. Was thinking this would be a nice hidden gem instead of the main places people go to. But unfortunately waiting that long and 2 main courses with one entree to come to $55 is a bit absurd. I went with a open mind because of previous rating but after tonight. I will say staff are friendly, but for a Friday night, more staff is needed to go around the tables as refill customers drinks and make sure everything is okay. Other than that, Food was too salty from the chef, a paying customer shouldn't have to wait that long without a update on the food at all. Takes few seconds to run over and say it will be right out. I was given bread at 840, which is most restaurants signifies that the main is coming soon, but soon was 35 minutes later..

The mushroom Ravioli with tomatoes garlic sauce was exceptional! I cleaned my dish with the delicious bread and regret nothing. This restaurant is not a franchise. This is passed by hand from recipes by the family with some creative supplements by Luigi and Tarra. The place is immaculate and cozy. Great service. I heard they were booked for Valentine's Day, so forget it. But come in soon.
