Great homestyle Italian comfort food. Stopped in while traveling through town. Right in the cute old town district.
We ordered a large pizza and a dozen wings for take out. The crust is really good but I didn’t care for the flavor of the sauce. The sauce was also really salty. The wings were okay. We ordered medium and they must add sugar to the sauce, because they seemed sweet. The service was good and the restaurant seemed clean.
The pizza is the best in the region...hands down. The rest of the menu is great, the staff is always courteous and pleasant. The world would go to pieces and Ninas would still be the best around. 👌 ❤
Really solid thin slices. The three cheese broccoli was excellent. Nice folks. Recommend.
There was a fly on my food. I told them I tried to swat it away but it still landed on my food. When I showed them the fly that was still on my food, the reply was “ it is the only fly in the restaurant”. 1 minute later I was brought the check that included the entire amount. I did not even get a decent apology. This restaurant is very unhygienic would strongly recommend to NOT to go there.
Always enjoy the great people good company excellent service and great food!
Great food and atmosphere.Owner was polite, staff was friendly.Cant wait to try there dinners.
Bruchetta pizza pie!! Excellent! Where else can you get this??
I enjoyed my visit and the pizza was amazing!!! I will definitely will return. it is a fun place to see good friends and converse with all the great workers and owners ...they are to be congratulated for a fantastic restaurant!!! I give it a 10 star plus !!!!
Terrible! we were a party of 4....3 of us have never been to New York I was bragging to them that they never tried pizza until they had pizza from New York in Chicago... so because of the reviews, we pick this place and was highly disappointed. We ordered some calamari that was overcooked, rubbery, and you can tell it was frozen not fresh at all... also order a Basil salad that didnt have no flavor, no seasoning was not fresh at all ordered a clam pasta dish that was full of oil! Now last but not least we would have gave them a pass on all those items had the pizza been good, the pizza was terrible, Ive been going to New York myself for years and for this to be their first experience, was awful! I have always had delicious pizza from New York, it was nothing special about this pizza all the toppings wasnt great at all, not fresh tasted like something you could have just bought out the store, I was really surprised we had the XL Ninas special, and it wasnt nothing special about it! after reading the reviews, you would think that at least the pizza would have been good in have authentic Italian taste, but no it didnt! if you looking for real food, with real authentic Italian pizza and food. dont try this place, I was very upset about the $80 we spent for nothing! Do better!
The food is AMAZING.... Had Linguini with Alfredo Sauce..... The sauce was nice and creamy not thick like it can get in many places. Highly recommend
The pizza was excellent! Their sauce is so delicious. I hadnt been in a few years and Im sad I missed out on so much good pizza! Service was great, very friendly. We sat outside at their patio tables as we had our puppy with us. Will be back again very soon.
5 people in our party, every one of us got sick. Pizza was hard like rock on bottom and not cooked in middle. All grease on top. Ive never had shaved sausage on a pizza, never will again...
Fantastic! We found out they do specialty pizzas (Dairy free, gluten free, etc..) We had the cheese free (dairy free) pizza. It was absolutely delicious!!!! The whole family enjoyed the pizza. No one complained about missing cheese. Not even once. In fact the kids asked for second helpings. We will definitely be repeat customers.
Best pasta and pizza in Oneonta in my opinion. The quality of the food is amazing and service is excellent.
We sat down here passing through, and we got sucked into the most terrific little Italian place we’ve had in a while. I asked for something that’s not really on the menu.I wanted clams, in Fra Diavolo, and they offered it Bianca. Nevertheless, Nina herself made my dish in my preferred sauce and it hit every spot.The Mediterranean veggie wrap my wife got was divine, as well. Well recommended!
Dang! Ninas wings are the best in the entire area, not just Oneonta! Great pizza, great people, reasonable prices. Sals is good too, but for dinner entrees, wings, and ambience its Ninas all the way.* To expand on why the wings are so good: the sauce is more than just hot, its got depth; theyll raise the spiciness to blazing hot if you want; theres lots of meat-- no scrimping going on here; and even the bleu cheese is delicious (and I dont even like bleu cheese). Thank you, Ninas for outstanding products and services!
For $13 I got a dry, bland pepperoni roll and a slice of Eggplant pizza that tasted a little fishy (literally, like fish); and a 20oz Coke Zero.The best things about the pepperoni roll were the toasted sesame seeds topping it, and the dipping sauce it was served with. Whatever it was (Vodka Sauce, I think) was really good.Ive been to Ninas a few times, and every time its pretty much been the same: bland food which is way too expensive.The staff were very friendly and courteous, though. And the atmosphere is nice.Neighboring Sals used to be the best pizza in town, but under new management/ownership things are slipping – and they werent even open at lunchtime on a Friday today, which really doesnt bode well.If youre looking for the best pizza in Oneonta, right now its probably The Depot or Alfescos.
I came here today and ordered a pepperoni roll and a slice of pizza (their pepperoni rolls are the best in town). It accidentally was overcooked. They apologized and made me a new order while also giving me the food that was overcooked (still tasted delicious!) Now, thats what I call good business!
Ninas hosted our youth baseball team on one days notice. It was 45 people strong with players, parents, & siblings. The food and service were outstanding! Pizzas were rolling out of the oven constantly. I cant say enough good things about the experience. I would highly recommend Ninas for large parties or a family night out.
Formerly known as Mama Ninas is one of the best food restaurants in the area awesome people awesome service definitely a place to go see check out and taste awesome food
Fathers day - bad choice. Waitress and others very friendly. We ordered tea, chicken parm with angel hair. Tea didnt taste very good, so sent it back and ordered water. That was even worse, so got a bottle of water. Pasta was floating in water, chicken was not worth the wait. It would have been better to order a pizza.
Wonderful and delicious . We ordered for take out for my daughters birthday dinner. Such nice people and we will be back. Highly recommend great real Italian food.
Delicious homemade red sauce & dough. Had the chicken pesto w/ tomatoes and chicken balsamic salad. So damn good.
Recently stopped in for lunch ordered two bowls of chicken noodle soup. Tasted like salted water and found a dead fly floating at the top of my soup. The lady preparing the soup used the same spoon to taste both mine and my boyfriends soup before bagging it up. We will not be going back there ever again.
Nice family-run spot. You see the teenage kids and even the little daughter running around behind the counter. Theres a nice area to sit down and eat, its slightly more upscale than your average low-end pizza joint. They have a little bar in the back as well.Ive had the eggplant parm and the meatball sub and they were both great
Has outdoor seating and good food. WAs a little sad that there is No mixed drinks but they do serve wine and beer for those who like that!!
Really awesome pizza. They also have really wonderful dinner entrees. Kid-friendly + date-night friendly. Only loses a star because they dont have penne a la vodka
Garlic knots are AMAZING!!!
Good place to go for pizza by the slices and by the pie. Their restaurant food is excellent and large portions. order the claims appetizer and hold on to the beard and asks for more beard. You want it for the wine butter and parmesan sauce that comes with the clams, excellent.
Good food! Service a little slow and forgetful. But really good!! Gluten free pizza for my son was huge and really good! Tomato sauce on pasta dishes...so good!
Couldnt tell if me being hungover was the reason why the food made me so nauseous or if it was because it was so terrible. My pizza was soggy, and falling apart with absolutely no flavor. I came with my family and they all agreed the food was less than subpar. Overcooked pasta, flavorless sauce, soup that literally smelled like a fart and tasted like salted water. I asked the waitress if the pasta fagioli soup was vegetarian or if the broth was vegetable or animal broth, and she came back and told me its made with beans and pasta as if that isnt in the name of the soup? The restaurant smelled like a dirty mophead and Im severely dissapointed. The location is wonderful and the restaurant itself could be renovated into something beautiful, but mama Ninas is NOT it. Someone get Gordon Ramsey in this place for a kitchen nightmares episode....they cant make good food, but at least it would make some good television
Ordered a pizza from these guys, showed up 1 hour, 15 minutes late. Pizza and wings were cold, was told we had a lot of deliveries. What a joke this place is. Horrible customer service and terribly run business. Order from anyone else in the area and theyre probably going to be better.
Wait staff was great but, pizza crust was very soggy with a lot of what seemed like watered down sauce on the tray after removing a slice. Also the person that cut the pie needs to learn how to cut a 1/2 and 1/2 pizza. Had 3 full slices with toppings and 2 with half toppings and half cheese.
The best pizza in Oneonta. I love it. Staff is awesome. Deliveries are always early. Thank you for your fabulous food
Like their food, but every couple times I go in there to eat on a relatively busy night we get ignored by their wait staff and eventually leave after 15 minutes of being walked by . They need a host to seat or something. But good food always. We just do delivery or take out orders now.
Yep very impressed. Ordered from the kids menu, more than enough for me, the chicken tenders. The best Ive had. Just right.....Felt a tad overlooked awaiting my order.
Pizza is always good here. Some of their dinners may seem on the expensive side, but theyre mostly worth it. I cant speak for the things I havent tried, but the things I have have always been satisfying.
Well, it used to be our favorite pizza place. Decor is a bit dark and drab. They care more about the bar than the restaurant. Yes, the bar brings in a lot of money, but you need to treat each section equally. Now to the food/service...Ordered a spinach pizza; they called back... they had no spinach. Okay, I can deal with that once. Another time we ordered a mushroom pizza. Guess what? They had no mushrooms. The third, and final straw, is when we ordered two meatball subs. Want to take a wild guess? If you said they were out of meatballs, you got it. I dont know whos managing this place now, but they have a serious problem with their food ordering. How does an Italian restaurant/Pizzeria run out of mushrooms and meatballs? What will they run out of next? Tomato sauce? Sorry, Mama Ninas, but you lost a couple of faithful customers.
Dead flies in the food and orders came out wrong. Incompetent staff and rude management. Save your money and try another place.
This is your one stop shop for every thing Italian. From Pasta Fagioli to Pizza and garlic knots. Best place to get pizza in Oneonta, in my personal opinion. Vigilant staff, comfortable dining area, and they also have a mini bar to make you a quick drink or throw you a quick beer after a long day at of work. If you like a small but fantastic eating experience. Ninas Italian Restaurant is the way to go!
Delicious Pizza! We arrived at dinner time with 10 people. They quickly put some tables together for us and the service was great!
Pizza is good. Good timing on our part. Walked in the door as a fresh pie came out of the oven. Friendly staff
Excellent food. And I mean everything. From the salad to the pizza to the entres! Perfection. This is a restaurant that belongs in Manhattan. The owner is also very involved to assure perfect service. No place better in Oneonta NY!
I had the eggplant rollatini. A little too much cheese on top, but good overall. The childrens table in the front was nice to keep my nephew distracted while his parents took care of the bill.
Excellent pizza and wings the salad was also very good. Friendly employees reasonable prices.
First time there and awful experience. Took quite a while to take an order and when the order arrived it was wrong. It was corrected but the food was barely warm and very skimpy for the price.
The pizza is eh... Its ok. But dont order off the dinner menu!! Since when does marsala come with its own oil refinery!! I cant tell you the number of times I have watched unknowing people dump at least 1/4 cup of oil out of there dinners. Unqualified, good enough to feed a 3am hangover, almost.
Solid food- fairly mediocre service. I brought about 10 people in here, and we were given about half that many paper plates.
Wish I had take photos of the food, it looked so good we all just dug in and chowed down. Pasta ala Nina, Pasta with Vodka sauce, Chicken Cutlet Parmesan and 🍕. So yummy 😙
Very disappointed tonight..$60 dollars worth of food..the best pizza place in town gave me EXTREMELY BURNT wings...when the meat is cooked so long that its shrinking off the bone and the bone is black that means they are way overdone.
Great pizza! Lots of choices for toppings already made.My favorite, though, is the stromboli.Family run business - and it shows.I def recommend.
In the quaint little city of Oneonta, NY this has got to be one of the best pizza places. The wait staff is super friendly and when the owner is very friendly and down to earth.
Friendly local pizza joint with great Garlic Knots!
New favorite pizza place the food is delicious friendly staff as well
Family run establishment that is fairly priced and delicious! Outside seating too!
Its too bad their rating is tarnished by previous owners. Evething and everyone are great here. Prices are fair wether you want a slice or a nice sit down. Support local here.
I frequently drive across the state and always stop through Oneonta to grab a couple slices from Ninas for the road. Always hits the spot and Im always looking forward to the next time I can stop in!
The best italian food and pizza Ive ever had, bar none! Thanks for a great experience!
Great pizza with such a flavorful sauce! Crust is a bit chewy and bready but if you like that kind of pizza this is the place for you!!!
I am from out of state but have stopped here last 3 years when visiting, very friendly staff, clean restaurant including bathrooms and a huge delicious Antipasta salad,havent had anything else because I keep going back for that salad !!! Wish
Friendly, accommodating, and delicious! I visited with my toddler and mother Monday evening while traveling through and couldn’t have been happier.
Service always friendly, food is great. Love the spinach white pizza and ham rolls. I recommend it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Small group, got a table, everything was good, great service, no problems, will visit again
The smell of the food the atmosphere and the people all fit amazing, great food amazing service.
Staff was nice.Pizza was good 👍Super clean place.Thanks!
Best pizza in Oneonta hands down this place deserves five stars!!! You can taste the natural ingredients and it’s clean
Always a great meal at Ninas! Great pizza and the best garlic knots around. Highly recommend!
Pizza isnt very good and the service is poor. Nice people though and many seating areas.
Delicious, fresh food, great beers and very nice people. Cant wait to try more items from the menu!
Everything Ive tried has been great. The sandwich bread is especially great. Best eggplant parm around!
Great place to eat.. best pizza in Oneonta.. and the dinners are always fresh cooked to order.. love it
Good pizza and prices. Seating is a bit odd, although there is outdoor seating when the weather is warm.
Delicious pizza and meals, local friendly family owned. Hey, you gotta eat today... Do it at NINAS and you will be happy you did!!
Food was amazing and the staff is very friendly
Good food. Nice people. Avg prices. Regular pizza stop for us.
Food and service were great. Menu has plenty of items to chose from. Decor is a bit dated.
Pizza was pretty good when we had it delivered but please do not get the calamari. It was such a letdown oh my god.
Really good food, good service. Nice place. I had the spaghetti and red saucesauc it was great
I grew up with Ninas pizza. Never realized how good it was until I moved away. Nothing else measures up. They are the best.
Once a very good pizzeria, but nobody there now seems to know what pizza crust should be.
Excellent food and service. Restrooms IMMACULATE! That always tells me they pay attention ALL details.
Lots of gluten free options!
Family friendly or grab a slice and go either way great atmosphere and food with an amazing variety
The absolute best food we have had on our trip!!! Staff was awesome!!

My favorite place to eat. Great food and the owners are fantastic people.
Good garlic knots, decent pasta dishes, well-made Italian heroes, especially the meatball and veal parm.
One server, sat ourselves, waited 10ish minutes without being greeted, got up and ordered from the counter, waited 45 minutes for our food and it came out cold.
Delicious food! I got the buffalo chicken roll. Very good.

2022-07-10Really great by the slice pizza. We ordered slices of cheese and meatball pizzas. Also ordered the garlic knots. Everything was great! And to top it off, they are SERVICE DOG FRIENDLY!
Review №2
2022-03-21I’m a cook, a baker, and have been a lead pizza cook in my time; I also grew up in NYC and have had pizza up and down both coasts, and all through Italy. This pizza wasn’t bad, but wasn’t good. Fresh, well baked, but average across the board. I can’t say anything bad, but I couldn’t recommend it for a real good pizza. For its region it is probably really good. Above average garlic knots. Staff was real nice and we were in and out in 40 minutes. Saw some bad reviews on cleanliness; I didn’t experience any of that myself, it looked real clean in parts I saw.
Review №3
2022-07-05We LOVE the pizza here! They also have a gluten free option that we get for my son, and it is really good, too - its his favorite. Were all obsessed with the parmesan garlic crust. The service there is great too. They are always so helpful and go out of their way to answer any questions. My son has allergies to artificial dyes and annatto and had an allergic reaction to something, but we didnt know what had caused it. When I called to ask about their ingredients, they walked me through it all and read the ingredients on the gluten-free crust and the pepperoni (everything else is fresh). I was so grateful they took the time to help even though they were busy... That spoke volumes... They care. (We eventually found the food he reacted to ... It wasnt from here). I highly recommend Ninas.

2022-05-07Best meatball slice in town. If you’re looking for something good to eat on main the food here is always delicious.

2022-04-25My husband and I love coming to Ninas. Any time we get extra money to go out to eat Ninas is always our choice. They have thin pizza just like what you would get down in the city. There pizza is just like city pizza with out the craziness of the City. There strombolis are absolutely delicious. We always keep coming back and trying new things and are never disappointed. The owners are highly respectful and modiste. The staff is always respectful and professional. This is a family friendly restaurant, they are very clean there even with a rush they keep it clean. If I could rate Ninas a million stars I would. I would go there over any other pizza place in oneonta.
Review №7
2022-03-13I have always loved Ninas pizza and have ALWAYS recommended it as the best pizza in town. I live local and I work local so I support local. Ninas has now lost my business. On December 27th, I placed an order at 3:58 pm and I waited 2 and a half hours to receive my food.. at the 2 hour mark I called to let them know that I would be denying my order because it would be too cold and we ordered from somewhere else. The woman on the phone was surprised the order still wasnt there, but said that she would have done the same thing. The order finally showed up and I denied it like I said and called again to let her know. Fast forward to March 13th, I call and Im told that that Im on the no order list. This whole time my wife has ordered from there without issue somtimes weekly, but because I called now my wife cannot order either. I couldnt speak to the owner and the person in the background was being rude about it to my wife. I always recommended ninas to my customers, no more. I always order from work with my co workers, no more. This is what happens when you constantly order from one place and always tip well? Its unfortunate because their pizza is really actually good, but customer service is were you need to improve. I couldnt speak to the owner and no one called us. I wont be ordering again and while my orders will not amount to a whole lot, I know that this review should serve as a warning to everyone.
Review №8
2022-04-11Terrible service, server did not know what she was doing. To begin, we waited an hour and a half for our food. Gave my friend eggplant parm hero instead of chicken parm and she takes a bite and the server comes back and says the kitchen said it was the wrong thing. Proceeds to say they are making the chicken which took another twenty minutes. They refused to let her keep both sandwiches, even though it was going to get thrown out anyways. After we waited an hour and 30 min, everyone who ordered penne alla vodka was just paraded with so much salt I swore I was drinking right from the ocean. My other friend also found a piece of hair in her pasta. To say this was a nightmare is an understatement. We will never return. just throw the whole biz away

2022-06-27Favorite pizza place! Im from Long Island and move here 12 years ago and its like being home even what my Italian grandma makes. Definitely eat here.

2022-04-11Pizza was delicious! Sauce was the perfect spicy/sweet. The fish sandwich was to-die-for! Will definitely return!
