Trattoria Nina is a small, independently owned restaurant that offers a limited but delightful menu of made-to-order, fresh and flavorful dishes. The service is attentive and casual, often provided by the owner/chef. While the ambiance is old-fashioned, the focus is on the exceptional quality of the food, which includes dishes like ravioli and pasta with meat. Reservations are recommended due to the intimate seating for only 14 people.
Customers love the delicious wine and the opportunity to chat with the chef, who prepares the food with care and passion. The casual atmosphere is enhanced by the owner's phonograph playing old records, creating a unique and charming dining experience. The food is absolutely amazing, from the Caesar Salad to the fresh Pappardelle Pasta with Lamb Ragu, the Vegetarian Lasagna with a Smoked Tomato Sauce, and the Strawberry Lemon Tiramisu. Customers also enjoy the mussels pasta, lobster ravioli, Nina salad, Caprese salad, and spaghetti with mussels. The chef's specials, such as the salmon fettuccine, are perfect, and the chocolate mousse cake is highly recommended.
