Nino's

We went to Nino's for the first time on a Friday night in Atlanta. We didn't have reservations, but we didn't have to wait too long for a table. The bartender helped us choose a nice Chianti while we waited and was very helpful in describing the restaurant specialties. Parking is easy, ambiance is cozy and the lighting is intimate. Considering how busy it was, the noise level was not bad at all-didn't have to strain to hear my date unlike some restaurants. The waiters were all very friendly and on the ball. The baked clam oreganata appetizer was delicious. My date had the veal saltimbocca and he said it was the best veal he had ever had. We got two appetizers that didn't spoil our meal and two excellent entrees for $60. This would probably be a good place for a first date because it is nice but isn't pretentious and the hospitality might help take any nervous edge off. We can't wait to go back!
