Nino's Cucina Italiana

Nino's Cucina Italiana is an Italian restaurant on Red Banks Road in Greenville, serving dishes built on family recipes that have been passed down through three generations. The menu covers antipasti like 'nduja bruschetta and calamari fritti, a long list of homemade pastas such as carbonara, bolognese and ravioli, baked specialties including lasagna and chicken parmigiana, and steaks, chops and lamb for dinner. Fresh dough, sauces, mozzarella and meatballs are made in-house each day.

The restaurant is open for dinner Monday through Friday and for lunch and dinner on Saturdays, so it is worth checking hours before a weekday lunch visit. The menu lists a dessert case with cannoli, tiramisu and cheesecakes, and the restaurant is part of the Marabella group of Italian restaurants in the area. Regulars often mention the atmosphere and the attentive service.
