Dishes Even Meat Lovers Will Enjoy!

Do you typically come into Nino’s and head right to our awesome meat or seafood counter? Spring is here and this month, we are encouraging our customers to also explore beyond the steak, shrimp and chicken. Instead, experiment with some of our vegan and vegetarian offerings here at Nino’s - even if you are a meat lover!

Created by our culinary team and hand picked by our grocery department here at Nino’s, we strive to make our vegan and vegetarian foods taste great! They can either be used as an alternative to meat for those living a plant based lifestyle or just those looking to experiment with plant based foods in a tasty way.

Plus, you may be entertaining this spring for holidays such as Easter, Passover, Mother’s Day and graduation parties! Your vegan and vegetarian guests will be pleased with our creative and tasty options to meet their needs (and taste buds) and your next occasion!
