Nino's Italian Restaurant

Nino's Bistro is a wonderful little restaurant in Mt Olive, NC that is full of charm, good service and super delicious food! It is a great choice for lunch or dinner. My favorite dish is the Tortellini Alla Tricia. Dad loved the Taste of Italy & Mom loves the Ribeye Steak! Everything I have tried has been yummy!

Ninos is supposed to be an upscale restaurant (by Mount Olive standards anyway) but I have to say I was very disappointed with the service. Didn't get what I ordered and had to return it for what I did order. By the time I got my steak I had already eaten my salad and potato. For $50 you would think they wouldn't try passing off a different cut of meat as a ribeye (not the first time this has happened). Not sure I'll be eating here again anytime soon.

My husband and I frequently order out their salads. The southwest chicken salad is what I order. The takeout box is packed and it's my favorite. Don't often go in the restaurant to sit down and eat but when we have the food is always excellent

Unbelievable, I ordered spaghetti with Italian sausage. It came with a house salad which was very good, but was piled high on a too small plate that was unable to hold the contents, and a good loaf of hot Italian bread. Unfortunately that was the highlight of the meal. When the main course arrived there were 2 links of heavily burnt sausage on top of a pile of spaghetti and was covered with way too much sauce (maybe to try to hide the fact the sausage was burnt black). The sausage was so burnt you could smell the bunt meat through the sauce. When I told the waitress the sausage was burnt she did offer to get me another order of sausage that was not burnt but by this time I had already started my meal and had no intentions of waiting for additional sausage to arrive after I was finished. I told her not to worry about it. Instead of taking the $2 added for the sausage off my bill she brought me a "to go" container with 2 pieces of unburnt sausage along with the bill. Bottom line is this: The sausage was burnt completely black and there was no question it was ruined. It should never been served to a paying customer period. Especially not to one that is paying $14 for a plate of spaghetti w/ 2 sausages, and no matter how much sauce you put over it, it doesn't hide the fact it is burnt. I will never eat there again.
