Nino’s of Boca Raton has opened up its second location in the spot that used to house Anna Vincenzo’s. After seeing the filming of Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares there, I knew it was only a matter of time before she would self destruct. Luckily for Boca Raton, Nino’s decided to open in its place and give East Boca a quality mom and pop place to eat at.
I went there immediately upon hearing about the soft opening. It was pretty impressive to see how many customers were already eating there, without Nino’s even announcing it. Although the place had the same decor as the previous owner (thanks to Chef Gordon) I noticed the oven was brand new. When Kitchen Nightmares redid the place, they put in this little oven that would never suffice in a busy pizza place. Nino’s owner Marco tells me that they decided to use a Marsal Pizza oven, so that their customers would always have a quality tasting pie, cooked to perfection. Another thing that you cannot help but notice, is how clean the place is. It is like they have a full time person just going around and keeping everything spotless.
