As I went out to walk my dog she entertained my 80-plus-year-old aunt and my aunt thoroughly enjoyed it! We split a chicken parmesan grinder and it was fantastic!

On this particular visit we came in with a group of 10+ people at 8PM on a Sunday and Melissa and the rest of the staff were there to help us feel comfortable, get fed, and spend time together. Thank you for a great meal!

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 <3) We got some pizzas and they've been delicious as well- I got a Chicken Bacon Ranch grinder- And for once, I can't finish it! Y'all make a mean grinder! It's dense, it's hearty, there's so much meat that I could split this into 3 and have lunches for three days! I also love it. Cuz it's delish. Only thing I couldn't taste so well was the ranch, but like, ay, bread absorbs, I can always add more (and I did). (Google won't let me select more recommendations, but I vote the grinder or the cheese pizza honestly- Loved the sweeter aspect to the pepperonis though, can't tell if I'm crazy or they really are a little sweeter than the usual pepperoni) Overall- We'll be back! This place is rocking it, may the good vibes roll and y'all continue to flourish. Wonderful!

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 wiser then I.
