Fodor's Review:
A favorite among international journalists and fashionistas, Nino has been casting its spell for many decades and remains one of the most dependable restaurants in the historic center. Nino sticks to the classics, in food and adorbale decor (yellow walls, dark-wood paneling, a plethora of framed prints), as well as in its waiters (dapper old gentlemen in bow ties and white jackets) -- the ambience is both cultured and cozy. Much of what you find on the menu here, as well as at the antipasto table, are Roman staples with a Tuscan slant. To start, try a selection from the fine antipasto spread, or go for the Tuscan cured meats or warm crostini (toasts) spread with liver pâté. Move on to pappardelle al lepre (with a rich hare sauce) or the juicy grilled beef, another succulent delicacy from our Tuscan friends in the Val di Chiana, home of the prized Chianina beef herd. Simple sweets, such as castagnaccio, a chestnut dessert, are all worth the extra calories. Nino's location near Piazza di Spagna makes it an excellent choice for lunch after a morning of shopping.

Food mixed, service poor
Posted by NC_traveler from Charlotte on 11/17/06
My wife and I with another couple had dinner at Nino's several weeks ago on the recommendation of a friend in Rome. Perhaps we should have included her to obtain better service. We were promptly seated and then ignored by the staff for most of the evening. However, this appeared to be the fate of most tables around us also. The service we did received was rude. The quality of the food was inconsistent. Some dishes were quite good and others very mediocre. The experience was very poor compared to other meals and service received throughout Italy.
