"The crab was lovely however the lobster special was sadly anything but, grey, smelly and far too fishy! So very disappointed and sorry to be writing this review, I had such high hopes and have raved about this place before, so much so I was excited to get a table. It was just a last minute booking to take my daughter and her fiance out whilst they were visiting for the weekend, I've previously given a 5 star rating and been here a few times with friends and never had a bad experience. I've had the lobster before here too, so I had every confidence it would be lovely, sadly, it was not! Our server was lovely and he did ask if we enjoying the food early doors, my daughter was eating hers (she ordered the same) and I asked her how was hers and she seemed to be enjoying it! So I politely nodded and tried again, no it wasn't to be. I thought maybe I had a bad bit, so I tried once more and ended up spitting it discreetly into a napkin. I 100% appreciate I should have said something then and there, but it is such a small intimate restaurant and I just didn't want the fuss or to spoil the evening for everyone else! I didn't leave a tip, well just the minimal change as I was so disappointed. The whole experience for me was ruined. We all enjoyed the spiced crab starter and the red wine x2 and maybe if the lobster had been spiced I wouldn't have noticed and I tried to eat the pasta and prawns instead avoiding the lobster but eventually I gave up. We left without having a dessert as my daughter noticed I had pushed the lobster off to the side and was asking me what was wrong, I told her I had probably eaten too much crab and the lobster just didn't taste as nice. Her face said it all, oh my God, she said and then asked, do you think it was off looking at her empty plate and pulling a face ! Bless her, she can be very dramatic and I just wanted us all to go out for a nice evening, so I said No love, I'm sure it was fine. I'm just not feeling it tonight. The monkfish my son in law (to be) had was lovely and my other daughter who went for a veggie pasta option took hers home for later. The waiter as always is very professional, pleasant and kind but not even his charm could save the day. I knew it was not right and I suspect the persons or persons who cooked/served it knew too so why cause a scene. It may get me little respect, but I've joined the growing so called keyboard warrior crew by complaining online and in my own time. We went home and I made our own Affogato and a new version for my daughter with pistachio liqueur very nice they were too!"

"We three gluttoneers invaded this delightful eatery to celebrate my wife 's, Angela 's birthday last Tuesday night, and it was better than great. We were welcomed into an inviting ambience of romantic lighting, light tiles and coloured walls, and shown to our favourite window table. Amidst the polite murmer of chat and laughter from diners already there, and the lovely background music, accompanied with a perfectly concocted Aperol Spritz and a Pornstar Martini, we made our selection from a varied menu, especially when you include their specials ' board. James, the proprietor extraodinaire, and the others made us feel right at home with the banter and laughter great. We soon made our selection. All three of us went for the Mango al Granchio; Nino 's do the best this side of Essex. There followed Involini Pescatrice, Saltimbocca Romana. and Linguini Gamberoni; all were faultlessly prepared and presented, and the flavour was astounding. This culinary perfection was baptised with a chilled Prosecco, and it truly woke your palate up. We then concluded this gastronomic extravaganza with a shared Apple Pie and ice cream with a surprise candle and team Nino 's singing 'Happy Birthday ' with their quirky horn wonderful. We finished off with a lemon tea, black Americano, Cappuccino, and black Sambucas plus complimentary ones from our gracious hosts grazie mille! Yet again, Nino 's have raised the benchmark in cuisine excellence, friendship, and laughter. Our compliments to the chefs in the 'hot room ' for their artistry and kind attention, and a huge 'thank you ' to all at Nino 's for an uplifting dining and birthday experience. Until the next time, keep smiling and be happy, ciao."

"We had a wonderful meal while on a weekend away in Stirling. Despite being incredibly busy with the pre Christmas crowds, the manager managed to find us a table for 8pm. Serving staff were friendly, attentive and helpful. Our food was fantastic and full of flavour the arrabiata was especially good and the bruschetta excellent. The atmosphere was cosy and welcoming and a fellow diner giving an astounding rendition of Nessun Dorma added to the festivities! The staff also deserve commendation for their excellent handling of some extremely drunk customers who having complained about an aspect of their meal (didn’t stop them from eating it,or consuming a fair bit of wine) decided to try to leave without paying. We were close enough to their table to hear this being said. They complained to the server and demanded the manager come out to explain things. Upon speaking with the manager one individual said they weren’t paying (not even one assumes for the wine). This particular individual was fairly belligerent. The manager informed them that police would be called if they refused to pay and after some back and fore the party grudgingly agreed to pay something towards the meal. The fact that this happened in front of other diners must have made the situation more awkward for staff but they dealt with it very well, apologising to the remaining customers afterwards (no apology needed). We will definitely return should we be in Stirling again. Lovely place,"
