I really enjoyed the dirty martini here. The house Cabernet was just okay, I wouldn’t order it again. The eggplant stack was delicious. The whitefish and sausage & peppers were just okay. The carbonara was very delicious. It was definitely a carbonara sauce not buttered noodles. The tiramisu was amazing. As mentioned, it is a tiny place and the staff is working very hard.

Great food! Very small place, yet a delightful dining experience. Service was very friendly, if slightly slow at times. I plan to dine there again. Recommended.

We ate at Cafe Nini last night, june 16th, with friends and the fettuccini dishes both Bolognese and Carbonara were awful. We didn’t say anything because we were guests of another couple that had selected the restaurant and were picking up the check. We didn’t want o embarrass them.

This restaurant is insanely cramped! You literally can’t get up from your table without bumping into something or someone. The food was decent although my whitefish is not what I was expecting. I should have stuck with a pasta entre, as in the past. The mussel appetizer was not memorable. Other diners at our table enjoyed their perch dinners. The salads are a la carte which makes for a pricier meal than it should be. Bread was fresh and warm – very nice. The water was frequently replenished. Server was friendly.

Food was great. Space is very small and cramped. Our server seemed to struggle with 4 two tops. Maybe he was new.

Cozy and intimate dining. Excellent food and service. Yes, it’s small. That’s what makes it charming and special.

Great restaurant with a very cozy atmosphere. Anxious to go back to try more dishes. They also have quite a few gluten free options. It seems a lot of their menu items can be made gluten free and they also have gluten free pasta.

Menu has gone a la carte for soup and salad now but entrees (Chicken Scalapini) came with mashed potatoes and a chunk of broccoli. The capers, in my opinion, had brine added to the dish rather than rinsed and so with lemon made the dish taste off; the lemon and the brine did not complement the dish.

Best eggplant stack you’ll find anywhere. House salad dressing can’t be best, delicious & consistent everytime, as is their home made warm bread. Amazing delicate branzino also. Just – yum!
