***** Nino’s Pizzeria & Restaurant, 7120 Beracasa Way, Boca Raton, Florida 33433, (561) 392-9075.
Got this e-mail this morning…
Jeff,
It was a pleasure meeting you and your wife at Friday night’s Morris Day & The Time concert in Pompano Beach. Terrific show.
As I mentioned, my wife and I in late April retired to Deerfield Beach after living our 41 years of married life in Plainview, Long Island. We are just getting organized and as I told you we literally stumbled across your jeffeats.com site while looking for restaurants to eat in. Your taste in both food and entertainment match up pretty close with ours.
You have tons of picks and I was wondering if you could give us a great ‘mom & pop’ Italian joint in the Deerfield Beach area. As you may recall we are living around the Powerline/Sample Road area and we’re looking for that one pizza tee shorts/tee shirt joint to really count on.
Once again, great meeting you.
Joe K

Joe K:
Glad that you enjoyed Morris Day and the Time. It was a great show.
It was nice meeting you and your wife.
Real simple answer to your “request”…just by coincidence, last night- Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats ate dinner at Nino’s Pizzeria in Boca Raton- and I gotta tell you, that this joint for the past 23 years has been one of our go-to-“mom & pops”…never and I repeat-never- a bad meal. Just between you and me, Nino’s makes a veal chop parmigiana and chicken cacciatore/chicken scarpariello both on the bone- that are off the chart. As for New York Style Pizza, the joint’s pies and slices are top-shelf!
Printed down below is a “review” that Jeff Eats did back on 5/19/14…try Nino’s- the bet here, you and your wife will absolutely love it!
Thanks for reading..

***** Nino’s Pizzeria & Restaurant, 7120 Beracasa Way, Boca Raton, Florida 33433, (561) 392-9075.
Way back on March 20, 2008 Jeff Eats told you guys about Nino’s Pizzeria & Restaurant in Boca Raton.
Time for a little update on what is definitely one of the best “mom & pop” red sauce Italian joints in South Florida.
For your convenience the “original” story is printed below…gonna save you the trouble of scrolling around.
Anyway,
Just for background, Nino’s opened for business in Boca Raton in 1983-you mathematicians can do the math–for the rest of you-that’s 31 years ago. In something like 2005, it opened a second location in Delray Beach. Partners fall-out, one gets Boca Raton, the other gets Delray Beach. So now you know, the business angle here.
Now-just so we are straight, we are talking about Boca Raton- here. Absolutely-positively nothing wrong with the Delray Beach location–Jeff Eats (1) lives closer to the Boca joint and (2) Jeff Eats thinks that the food, service, ambiance are better in Boca Raton- but trust me Delray Beach ain’t exactly chopped liver either.
Anyway,
Jeff Eats has never “officially” counted the number of times-I’ve eaten in/taken out from Nino’s–but I’m guessing 70 maybe 80, let’s just say it’s a lot. I want to tell you, that not- even- one- time was the food not right on the money–same for the service. Real simple… its soups, salads, pizzas, calzones, subs, pastas, entrees are all delicious. Off the top of my head, I would match Nino’s veal chop parmigiana ($22 soup/salad, pasta side, garlic rolls), its chicken cacciatore on the bone ($17.95 soup/salad, pasta side, garlic rolls), its chicken scarpariello on the bone ($17.95 soup/salad, pasta side, garlic rolls) and its shrimp scampi ($22.50 soup/salad, pasta side, garlic rolls) up against South Florida’s best “mom & pop” and “upscale” players. While I’m on the subject of food, Nino’s plain pizza is always on the money and the joint makes what it calls an “upside down Sicilian” pie that is a work of beauty–if you go, get it!
You maybe wondering why the sudden “gushing” about Nino’s?
Last night, Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and some dear friends- ate dinner at Nino’s and we got to discussing “various” Italian joints–and like a bolt of lightening–it hit me as to how really good Nino’s stuff is! Just that simple! Real fast-right off the top of you head, other than Nino’s–name a “mom & pop” red sauce Italian joint that does chicken cacciatore and chicken scarpariello on the bone…you do know, that’s the only RIGHT WAY to make those dishes–but that’s just my take-on the-thing!
You can check menu/prices at www.ninosofboca.com.
Nino’s Pizzeria & Restaurant is open 7 days a week 11am-10pm.

***** Nino’s Pizzeria & Restaurant, 7120 Beracasa Way, Boca Raton, Florida 33433, (561) 392-9075—&—13900 South Jog Road, Delray Beach, Florida 33445, (561) 499-3988
Nino’s is one of my favorite “mom and pop” Southern Italian joints in South Florida. I could be going out on a limb here, but I think that after you have tried this joint, you will also become a big fan.
Just so you know, the Boca Raton location has been around for something like 25 years…the Delray Beach location has been in business for about 3 years. Over the years, I have eaten in the Boca location something like 30 times and the Delray location twice…although the menus are almost identical, I like the food, ambiance and service in the Boca restaurant better…call me a creature of habit, but I really feel at home when I enter the Boca joint…from the way I am greeted at the front door, to Nino the owner waving and talking from behind the pizza counter to the customers…the food and service in Delray Beach is just fine, but there is something “special” about the Boca location.
Although Nino’s seemingly “follows” the standard pattern…Soup or salad, garlic rolls, entree with a pasta side…this joint makes some of the most delicious dishes and pizza that you have ever eaten. I would personally match its veal chop parmigiana—bone in chicken cacciatore— bone in chicken scapriello—shrimp scampi entrees against any Italian restaurant down here in South Florida.
Like I said before, Nino’s has been around for something like 25 years. The Boca Raton joint is jammed for dinner 7-days a week and has a takeout business that seems to be never ending. The Delray Beach spot has also developed quite a following…but my heart belongs to the Boca joint. Both joints are open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner.
Great food. Great service. Pizza joint prices…
By the way, Nino and his wife Josephine own Josephine’s Italian Restaurant which is located on Federal Highway in Boca Raton. That’s a story for another day…but Josephine’s is a very good “white table cloth” joint.

Trust Jeff Eats when I tell you- that Salerno Pizza’s stuff is off the chart delicious.

***** Salerno Pizza, 5557 Southeast Federal Highway, Stuart, Florida 34997, (772) 286-5505.
For our purposes Jeff Eats is gonna call Salerno Pizza “an out of sight, out of mind” mom & pop- red sauce Italian joint! Trust me on this one, Jeff Eats’ Boca Raton home isn’t exactly a hop, skip and a jump from Salerno Pizza which is in Stuart!
Long story short,
Jeff Eats first told you guys about Salerno Pizza way-back on May 28, 2009- truth be told, hadn’t been back until yesterday when Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats did dinner (large cheese pizza, large calzone, large tossed Italian salad) and I gotta tell you, we loved the joint in 2009 and we love the joint in 2016!
All Jeff Eats can tell you – if Salerno Pizza was in our neighborhood, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats would be real steady customers!

***** Salerno Pizza, 5557 Southeast Federal Highway, Stuart, Florida 34997 (772) 286-5505.
Salerno Pizza is my kind of a “red sauce” joint…this place reminds, me of many of the hole-in-the wall pizza joints that I grew-up with in Brooklyn way back in 1950’s-60’s. From what I understand, Salerno has been around for something like 28 years…the decor– red molded plastic booths/formica tables and you see the pizza guy making the pizzas (that figures) behind the counter.
Salerno has the full boat of appetizers, hot and cold subs, pastas, pizzas and meat/seafood/chicken entrees. Check its website at www.salerno-pizza.com for menu/prices.
Now use your head here… a veal parm dinner (salad, pasta side, garlic rolls) will set you back the princely sum of $12.95… a chicken parm goes you $11.95… and linguine & clams is gonna run you $9.95—gourmet stuff, now let’s not be silly. Good tasting stuff (by the way, the pizza is very-good) at super-reasonable prices…in a REAL PIZZA JOINT.
Salerno is open Monday-Thursday 11am-9pm, Friday-Saturday 11am-9:30pm and Sunday 5-9pm.

***** Chowder Heads Restaurant, 2123 South US Highway 1, Jupiter, Florida 33477, (561) 203-2903.
Got a real good super casual seafood joint for you guys, Chowder Heads Restaurant in Jupiter.
Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and another couple recently did dinner- and I gotta tell you, other than being a bit on the pricey-side, not one person at our table, including Jeff Eats bitched about anything!
Chowder Heads bills itself as serving “Authentic New England Seafood”…If you can keep a secret, Jeff Eats’ knowledge as to what constitutes “Authentic New England Seafood” was “acquired and honed” by my having having spent 5 Summers 1957-1961 at Camp Annisquam (and as a result- having taken 5 tours of the Birds Eye Frozen Food Factory) in Gloucester, Massachusetts!
Trust Jeff Eats on this one, Chowder Heads Restaurant which is open Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday 11:30am-9pm, closed on Monday- serves up real good stuff!
