I am here with me and my mom and the service sucks . I had worst service here . I had the fettuccine and my mother had the chicken dish . We will not come back again. The manager came during our salad and soup to ask us how our dinner was and we were still waiting for our main meal.

The food was great however the portion size for the price was not it; A small slice of lasagna with a tiny cup of soup. I had 3 basic pasta entrees for a total of about $80. I think the icing on the cake which would stop me from going back would be the automatic 12% gratuity for carry out pushing my meal to over $90 for 2 adults and 1 child.

Hard to find much to fault them with, but hard to find anything spectacular. This is a date night restaurant with that Grosse pointe ambiance that have you forgive solid but very traditional food. I wouldn’t travel far for it, but then again if I wanted a safe place Niniis it.

What happened?! Cafe Nini used to be fantastic, now it’s trash! 15 Minutes waiting for drinks, while sitting next to a space heater, and another 20 minutes for the mussels to come. The butter for the bread was bland and the red sauce for the mussels tasted like water. The waiter came and went, coming back another 20 minutes after that. We quickly paid, left and walked over to Luxe. Never again will I waste my time with that trash. Bye, Cafe Nini. Please leave Grosse Pointe and never come back.

Good and service can be inconsistent, but when it’s good, it’s really good. Tight space but good vibe. Nice corner GP spot.
Kid-friendliness: I would say cafe Nini is not kid friendly, it’s an adult atmosphere and I like that! We took the grand kids once, they were good but it’s really not the place for kids.
The food and wine were excellent. We ordered the fried Zucchini, some pasta and the grilled branzino. We think they forgot our order since we had to remind them after almost an hour that we hadn’t received our appetizers. They recovered very well after that - rushing our order and comping our entire meal! Quite a class act! If you don’t get it right the first time, it’s all in the recovery after all!!

Great food! Very small place, yet a delightful dining experience. Service was very friendly, if slightly slow at times. I plan to dine there again. Recommended.
Parking: Public parking behind the building across the street.
