Nino's Italian House - Auburn Hills

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

To start off it’s really hard to see the restaurant with all the trees hiding it and then the air wasn’t running on a hot 88 degrees day and then the tv’s weren’t on it felt like they were just opening or closing. The service was good but I was served an extra which is an up charge and then to top it off the bug zapper hanging in the bar area took the cake it felt like they were penny pinching cause of the lack of customers. This restaurant has potential but this place won’t succeed with the way it’s running. Even with a decent menu which don’t get me started on that . I won’t be back anytime soon.

Good restaurant with real Italian food. My wife had a chicken and shrimp. She called it excellent. My chicken parmigiana was good not great. The bread that was served was not fresh and hard. Nice atmosphere and really good service
