I ordered the mama's alfredo with shrimp and it was really good. We also ordered the cheese bread which was also tasty.
In my opinion, they could make the restaurant a little more cozy and give a slight more Italian feel. But my partner said if they did that, they would possibly lose out on the bar scene a little.
We went on Valentine's day and even though they had a special for it, they didn't decorate the tiniest bit - not even on the tables. If you're going to offer a Valentine's special, set the scene a bit too.
Otherwise, it was very good and we like that they offer a kid's menu. Maybe sometime we will take our kids or just go off by ourselves again.

Our server could brighten anyone’s day. The food was good and well presented. The sauce could have used a little more oregano and garlic, but now I am just getting picky. Otherwise, this place deserves a five.

What a gem! Had a fantastic meal here and can't wait to go back. Entire team was friendly and attentive (hard to find these days), and all the dishes were tasty. Great vibes and a solid selection on the menu.

Great restaurant with large portions. I split a plate with my wife. It costs an extra $5, but you get an additional salad or soup and bread. Service was good, like that everyone helps out at all tables.

In the winter, there are times I don't feel fresh air for a week at a time and I get a little nutty. So, the mister knows he needs to show me the outside world every so often before I drive him up a wall. So, tonight was date night.

With a Jamaica trip coming, I've been focused on my beach body. So, tonight was my cheat meal for the week. And, I was ready to throw down some pasta. What I did not prepare for was what was to come after the entree...

If you haven't taken the short drive to Coco & Nini's, you need to make it your top resolution of 2022.

Homemade onion rings, chicken Diablo, and chicken Alfredo. You can't go wrong and the pictures speak for themselves.

Now, the brown butter cake is a must-try. It melts in your mouth and makes you realize what happiness tastes like.

But, guys. The cheesecake of the week (Cha Cha's) was Dutch Letter. I can't recall meeting a slice of cheesecake I was unwilling to take to bed. This one? I'd make breakfast in the morning and line up the next date before departing. Cha-cha-ching.

Long story short: for great food, friendly service, a cool atmosphere, and dessert that will bring happy tears to your eyes...Coco & Nini's is your spot.

Now, I face the reality that tomorrow as I eat my fresh fruit and vegetables, that I'm going to be debating if a semi-nutritious life is worth living without a slice of that cheesecake at every meal.

Excellent!! They're not just another Italian restaurant. Their menu has mini subtle things that set them apart from your average Italian restaurant. Be sure to leave room for dessert. I recommend the brown butter cake with ice cream and caramel and raspberry drizzle. If you don't have room for dessert, take some to go. If I had to choose something to complain about it would be that the onion rings could have used some more shaking off of the grease before plating.

Went here Valentine's Friday and made reservations for 4:30 a week ahead of time. Had the onion strings, chicken gonnachi, chicken vodka creme penne, salads with house made dressings, a house cabernet, a vodka diet, chocolate covered strawberry cheese cake and brown butter cake. All were very solid items. Salad was super fresh and perfect in every way with all veggies accounted for.The gonnachi was a bit salty however, the blending was perfect. The vodka creme penne was spot on. I would come here again. Cabernet is one I stock in my cellar and was very good with both main dishes. Very rich and decadent meal!!! The owner James asked us about our experience and was attentive to both us and staff. Generous pours on house wine and great happy hour specials. Worth the drive!!!

Cute place, went during lunch so it wasn't too busy but have heard there's usually a wait at supper time. Waitress was very friendly. Food tastes great. Fries were so good, crispy. Had the chicken diablo and it was great. Chicken was so tender and flavorful, pasta cooked perfectly and great sauce with a kick at the end. My guy had the Italian sausage sandwich and it was good, our kid had meatball sandwich and said it was really good too. The house creamy parmesan dressing was also very good. Will certainly go back

Absolutely wonderful dining experience. I order something different every time I go and I have never been disappointed. Staff is great and the owner is always there and talks with everyone. Highly recommended that you go to Carlisle and try this gem.

Coco & Nini’s restaurant is a small bar/restaurant . It is located in Carlisle. It happened to be Steak Da ‘Bergo night when we went there & it was top notch. It was something that you would expect at a high end restaurant. There chef was absolutely on point with his or her skills. The steak was cooked to perfection, and the service was great, with a small town feel to it. If you are looking for great onion rings this is the place to try. I recommend you give them a try.

Great local restaurant. Have eaten there multiple times in the past six months. Food has been consistently good. Attentive and polite service. Daily food specials bring additional variety to an already great menu.

Ate here passing through on a long journey home. Amazing service and atmosphere plus the food was great. Italian club was delicious and the fries where some of the best I’ve had. Talked to one of the owners and she was friendly and welcoming. Great experience.
