DINING REVIEW: NINO’S OF BOCA RATON
Open daily until 10:00 p.m., Nino’s of Boca Raton is located in Central Boca’s Del Mar Shopping Center, at 7120 Beracasa Way, Boca Raton. 2PhatPhucs come here for our favorite veal marsala, which Nino’s makes so delicious that we always come back for more.
The restaurant has a very comfortable ambience, the staff is friendly, and the food is great. As per Nino’s website:
Nino’s of Boca Raton opened its doors in the early summer of 1983 as a small pizzeria with only eleven tables, and has evolved over the years into an extraordinary dining experience. Nino’s of Boca Raton is family owned and operated by three generations of restaurateurs.
Our southern Italian inspired menu offers a large variety of foods to satisfy even the most discerning of palates. Nino’s of Boca Raton boasts an extensive wine menu with varietals from around the world specifically selected to compliment our cuisine.
NINO’S OF BOCA RATON: GARLIC ROLLS
Nino’s entrees come with hot homemade garlic rolls, which we absolutely love. They tasted very fresh and certainly homemade. Crispy on the outside, but soft and squishy on the inside, they come with tons of fresh minced garlic and olive oil. We rate them 10/10 for garlic rolls, and deem them best garlic rolls in town.
NINO’S SOUPS
Nino’s entree also comes with a choice of soup or salad. We ordered the minestrone and spinach tortellini.
Their spinach tortellini soup consisted of an egg drop, tortellini, and spinach in a rich chicken broth. It was also very tasty.
Nino’s minestrone included beans, celery, carrot, potato, pasta, and tomato in a rich broth. It was very good.
NINO’S VEAL MARSALA
Nino’s veal marsala ($20.95) is absolutely delicious. It is veal scaloppini sautéed with mushrooms in a marsala wine sauce with a touch of demi-glaze, which makes the perfect, rich gravy (not too thick or thin). It has the perfect wine taste in just the right amount. The veal was extremely tender (basically fork-tender, falling apart with barely any cutting). Covered with a sprinkle of chopped parsley, the entree was loaded with sautéed mushrooms holding lots of flavor.
As the entrees come with a side, we chose Nino’s delicious fresh spinach sauteed in garlic and oil. It was simple and perfect, just the way we like it.
In sum, Nino’s offers fantastic Italian food, and their veal marsala is our absolute favorite, and the main reason why we keep coming back.
