Comfort Italian, industrial chic setting
NINO is a restaurant that builds on contemporary Italy fusing authentic specialties from the perspective of Italian chefs that grew up in the diaspora.
The result is a contemporary take on northern and southern Italian dishes, pastas and risottos fused with Italian and antipasti with many fried starters or ‘fritto misto’ and large main dishes prepared from quality premium meats and seafood; many of Nino dishes were developed and formulated by important chefs with Italian influence and experience such as Todd English and Chris Jaeckle from New York and chef/restauranteur Francesco Zanassi from Cape Town.
The restaurant is well known for spearheading the upmarket casual dining movement in Kuwait since inception in 1998, introduced live DJ and musical events and frequented by visiting and local celebrities, thus attracting a diverse demographics and clientele.
