Nini's occupies a straightforward spot in downtown Easthampton, tracing its roots to Giovanni Daniele, who arrived from Salerno, Italy, in 1960 and later founded the restaurant in 1976 after helping establish Red Rose in Springfield. The Daniele family has maintained the place as a traditional Italian eatery, building a steady clientele over decades through familiar cooking and a welcoming atmosphere. They handle catering and can accommodate larger parties.
