Reviews for Osteria da Nino Italian Ristorante in Arlington, VA

Our server was hands down the best part of our dinner here. She was incredibly nice and told us everything we wanted to know... about the food and wine. The pasta was okay. The arancini was great. Read more

It's an exceptional place that leaves you senseless with delicious smells that make you forget to grab photos of outstanding... dishes. This is going to be a regular date night destination. Nino meets and greets in the evening and draws great joy intreating guests like they have entered his home. Homemade dishes with authentic tastes of Sicily. In fact, enjoy a tour of theeastern coast with the Osteria da Nino in 2023. Read more

I liked this restaurant. Good vibe, great service, awesome food. We had Aranici, they were good but they definitely tasted... different than a real Italian arancini. Gorgonzola Gnocchi was delicious, with a very light/dolce gorgonzola. They have plentyof Italian Wines which i loved. I had Chianti. My friend had Martini and she was happy with it. Also, desserts (Pistachio cremede Catalana) was so good. I highly recommend this place. Read more

Excellent food and even better service! We came in late on a Friday night and sat at the bar. Outdoor tables looked nice as... well. The owner greeted us and was so welcoming. Our bartender, Holt was awesome and very knowledgeable about the wine menu. Weordered the Branzino and the Lobster Fra Diablo special. It was absolutely perfect. We will definitely be making this our newgo-to Italian spot! Read more

Ninos is hands down one of the best restaurants in the the DMV. My family and I have been requesting this gem for 4 yrs now.... The owner Mr. Nino is very warm and friendly. He visits every table to add a personal feel. The food, the ambiance, is amazing,and service is amazing. Read more

We try to go once a twice a year, for the good food and atmosphere. This time, we went for restaurant week and unfortunately the... veal was over cooked, chewy and rather difficult to eat. Overall we were a little underwhelmed with our evening. The wine wasthe best part, but since we've had great experiences before we will try again some time down the road. Read more

Food is always wonderful, service is always great. The wine dinners are phenomenal and worth the money! Thanks Nino!

My wife and I have been regulars at this fine restaurant ever since it opened. And last night we had a fantastic Christmas Eve... dinner here! The delicious portions combined with the excellent service (and Nino's special talent for making everyone feellike family!) made for a very memorable experience. We will continue to return and urge everyone coming to Shirlington to checkthis place out. Highly recommended! Read more
