Customer Review Summary

Diners most often point to the bruschette, from an avocado prawn version described as fresh and full of flavour to a mushroom and sausage one called sublime. Close behind is the bianco e nero dessert, a chocolate and cream profiterole, with cannoli and an apricot tart also praised as homemade. Mains named include a rich seafood risotto and a succulent rib eye with frites, and one reviewer singles out the ragu arancini as the star. Many call the food authentic, and some who travel often to Italy say it recalls a small family-run restaurant there. Service is described as friendly, professional and attentive, and the atmosphere as warm and relaxed, with a few calling it good for a date. The one criticism is a pasta dish that could have done with more seasoning. Several say the room fills up, with one reporting people being turned away, and they suggest booking ahead. One pair who stopped in for wine and small plates while shopping had already booked again for the following week to try more of the menu.

    “Decent spot for a date, the ragu arancini was the star of the show for me, it was delicious. The pasta I ordered was quite nice but could’ve done with more seasoning. The service was really great however!”

    “Been meaning to try this place for a while, so we stopped in yesterday while out shopping for a couple of glasses of wine and a few small plates. First impressions were spot on, proper authentic Italian feel, great food, and excellent wine. Good enough that we’ve already booked in again next week to try more of the menu.”

    “Great experience eating at Ninello’s on Friday lunch while out shopping. Service was very good. Food was really good. Decor and surroundings were lovely. Cost was reasonable - total £75 including service charge which we happily paid. This included 2x wines and 2x beers so very good value. Highly recommend 5-*”
