Nina's Trattoria aiming for this weekend

Nina's Trattoria (910 S. Ninth St.), the Italian Market eatery that A.D. Amorosi told you all about in August, tested the waters this past weekend, offering a handful of lunch/brunch options to Ninth Street strollers Saturday and Sunday. (Thanks to Meal Ticket reader DH for the heads up/shot above.) When we stopped in Sunday evening, owner Nick Nastasi told us there were still a handful of loose ends to tie up before he officially opened the BYO to the public hopefully by this coming weekend. We'll keep you posted; in the meantime, get the full backstory via A.D.'s piece and check out Nina's menu on their website.

We had dinner there last night before going to the Flyers game.  All I can say is that the meal was Excellent!!!.   The fish was the best that I have ever had.  Nick and his son are just Excellent hosts. It was a real pleasure to be treated as a real person.  They went out of their way to please you.  I will go back soon.  Thank you.

We had lunch at Nina's today (Saturday Oct 9th) and it was wonderful. Right in the heart of the Italian Market area iwefound a restaurant of European quality and ambience. The decor is simple a fresh and Nick is an excellent host. He described a lunch menu to us that suited us well. We had soup and a pastas that were tasty and bright in flavor. It's situated right next to a herb and spice store ... a perfect pair!

We have had 2 wonderful dining experiences at Nina's - from the welcoming, warm atmosphere to the delectable menu - we enjoyed asparagus patties, the stuffed peppers, the macaroni with eggplant and the pasta with arugula and shrimp. The grilled pork loin was perfectly done. Keep up the good work, Nick and Guido
