Clifton M: Fabulous roasted chicken. The veal is awesome too. Decent wine list. More casual than Vincent's next door. Another one within easy walking distance.
CultureMap Houston: Call it "Mandolaland" — Nino's shares a parking lot with sister restaurants Vincent's and Grappino.
Christy Landes: Better food than rating indicates. Ask for Eddie and get outstanding service. Calamari app is different take. Fish specials are usually excellent. Great pizza too!

Christy Landes: Good wine selection. The menu was interesting. We had two specials, one fish and one pasta. Both were great! Pretty space and very good service.
If you need a wine recommendation, ask for Thomas! He definitely proved his knowledge of Italian wines, and I would be willing to bet he can tailor a recommendation to any need.
