Nino's Italian House - Auburn Hills

Nino's Italian House is a true hidden gem that I'm thrilled to have found. Despite some negative reviews floating around, my personal experience has been nothing short of amazing. The unique atmosphere they offer, coupled with their delicious food and unbeatable prices, makes this place stand out.What truly sets Nino's apart is the warm and friendly staff. They go the extra mile to ensure every visit is a memorable one. From the moment you walk in, you're treated like family, and that kind of genuine hospitality is hard to come by.

Myself and two friends went to Nino's Friday evening for dinner. We were very happy with the food and the service. Two of us had the Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and the other meal was angel hair spaghetti with meat sauce. The portions were very generous and the prices were very reasonable. Oh and by the way the food was very good. We all agreed we would return.

If you 're seeking an unforgettable dining experience, one that leaves an indelible mark on your taste buds and memory, I implore you to steer far clear of Nino 's Italian House. In what can only be described as a culinary catastrophe, this establishment managed to take the art of Italian cuisine and reduce it to a pitiful mockery of itself. My recent visit to Nino 's was nothing short of a tasteless tragedy, leaving me utterly baffled by the audacity of labeling their concoctions as food. Let 's start with the fettuccine, or what Nino 's might dare to call fettuccine. It appeared to have been cooked in a pot of water that had long lost its will to boil. The result was a limp, soggy mess of overcooked noodles that even the most desperate college student wouldn 't touch with a ten-foot pole. It 's a sad day indeed when a staple dish known for its rich, creamy indulgence is reduced to a texture resembling wet cardboard.But the disappointment didn 't stop there. Oh no, it took a nosedive into the abyss with their rendition of lasagna. I use the term rendition generously here, as what I was served bore little resemblance to the iconic layers of pasta, meat, cheese, and sauce that make up a true lasagna. Instead, I was met with a sloppily assembled mess that tasted as if it had been concocted by someone with a grudge against good food. The layers were indistinguishable, the meat was bland and dry, and the cheese... well, let 's just say that rubbery would be a step up.And then there was the Caesar salad, or more accurately, a sad excuse for one. The dressing, if it can even be called that, was nothing short of a travesty. I 've heard of light dressings, but Nino 's took it to a whole new level by serving a watery concoction that resembled the remnants of a forgotten glass of water. The once-bold flavors of garlic, anchovies, and Parmesan were mere whispers in the diluted sea of disappointment.As I reflect on my experience at Nino 's Italian House, I can 't help but wonder how a restaurant can so consistently miss the mark on even the most basic dishes. It 's as if the kitchen staff has never encountered a proper recipe or tasted a well-executed Italian dish. It 's a disservice to Italian cuisine, to the art of cooking, and to anyone unfortunate enough to step foot in this establishment.In conclusion, Nino 's Italian House is a culinary disaster of epic proportions. From the poorly executed fettuccine to the tragic lasagna and the insultingly diluted Caesar dressing, every aspect of the meal showcased a profound lack of skill, care, and respect for the art of food preparation. Save your taste buds, your wallet, and your time by seeking sustenance elsewhere. Nino 's is an Italian experience you 'll want to forget as quickly as you can.

I have no idea how anyone could give this place more than one star. If I had a choice, I wouldn’t have given it a star at all. Worst food I’ve had in a long time. Seeing the parking lot as we first pulled in was the first red flag, and I should have known better. It was a Saturday night and only a few cars were there. The decor was your run of the mill Italian theme with dusty vines on the walls, and wine bottles. The tables were sticky to the point you literally had to peel the menu from it. Bruschetta was placed on baguette that wasn’t toasted, so it was immediately soggy from the balsamic vinegar. The tomatoes were not ripe even though they’re in season, with some red onion thrown in. The margherita pizza had the same unripe tomatoes, canned sauce, and the crust was tasteless. Fettuccine Alfredo had no cheese flavor at all; it tasted like bland buttered noodles. The meatballs were not homemade and lacked any flavor that would mimic an Italian meatball. Lastly, we ordered the onion rings that were soaked in frying oil that hasn’t been changed in quite a while. In all honesty, I have no idea how they’re still open. My guess is the place used to be great, and then it fell under new ownership. Avoid at all costs.

Staff was great, but a little slow. Food was fantastic. Highly recommend.Food: 5/5
