Why go
Book Nina for a lively Marylebone Italian dinner where the room, music, and occasion energy are part of the point. It suits dates, celebrations, after-work groups, and private dining better than quiet business meals or solo counter dining. Order à la carte for the table, with pasta, arancini, focaccia, and chicken Milanese as the practical route.
About Nina
For modern Italian and Mediterranean dining in London, Nina is a direct option to plan around when the brief is a smart-casual meal with a per-person price guide of $80. The hours cover both lunch and dinner, with evening hours running later Monday through Saturday than on Sunday.
The draw is the menu rather than a restaurant backstory or format. Plan around familiar Italian and Mediterranean flavours, and use the dishes as the most reliable guide to what to order.
A London restaurant for smart-casual Italian and Mediterranean dining
Nina has a smart casual dress code, which makes it a practical choice for a polished meal without requiring formal dress. The opening times show lunch from 12–3:30 pm daily, with dinner from 6–10:30 pm Monday through Saturday and 6–9:30 pm on Sunday.
Those hours make the restaurant usable for both daytime and evening plans. If timing matters, check the day carefully: Sunday dinner ends earlier than the rest of the week, while the other listed evenings run to 10:30 pm.
Order around the signature dishes
The most grounded way to approach Nina is through its signature dishes: house focaccia with parmesan butter, Taleggio arancini with truffle and confit garlic mayo, bluefin tuna e melone, spaghetti with Nina’s tomato sauce and stracciatella, duck ragu bianco paccheri, and chicken Milanese with parmesan butter. That line-up points clearly to modern Italian and Mediterranean cooking, with pasta, tuna, arancini, and a Milanese-style main among the named options.
The safest planning approach is to use the dishes as anchors, budget around the $80 per-person price guide, and confirm any menu changes or dietary requirements before committing to a specific occasion.
The same caution applies to drinks, group arrangements, and other add-ons: they may matter to the experience, but they are not part of the details here. Build the plan first around cuisine, price, hours, dress code, and the named dishes.
Use it for grounded London restaurant planning
The recommendation is simple: consider Nina when you want modern Italian and Mediterranean food in London with a smart-casual dress code and a clear $80 per-person price guide. It is especially easy to evaluate if the signature dishes appeal to your table.
If the night extends beyond dinner, the London bars guide, London hotels guide, and London experiences guide help round out the plan.
