Nino Pagliarulo
More than an amazing Chef, Nino moonlights as an actor!
Three generations of the Pagliarulo family have provided guests with a combination of exceptional cuisine and dining experiences that create lasting memories. Today, Nino goes to special lengths to provide the most authentic recipes from southern Italy. He creates dishes with the best ingredients…from rare imported olives oils and wine only available at the restaurant, home made pasta to farm fresh vegetables, the highest cuts of meat, best imported and domestic cheeses and the freshest seafood.
Mike’s Ristorante has been a Fairfield County favorite for more than 40 years. Nino takes pride in preparing every dish and provide each guest with an unforgettable experience.
Experience for yourself why loyal patrons from all over Fairfield County, indeed the country, claim Mike’s Ristorante as their favorite place for Italian dining. Join us for a meal…we’d love to say Benvenuti!
Originally from Avellino, Italy, just outside of Naples, Nino brings true Italian culture here to Norwalk. Like in Italy, he uses original ingredients starting with the olive oil and Italian specialties — bringing something special from “home” to the restaurant — here in Norwalk.
Nino travels back and forth to Italy at least three times a year to ensure that the latest Italian flavor is always infused into the restaurant.
Buon Appetito!
“From start to finish this place is amazing. Great food, great atmosphere. Honestly whatever you order you can’t go wrong.” Jenna from Bridgeport (Yelp)
