Nino's Italian Restaurant was an Italian restaurant located at 2968 Pelham Parkway in Pelham. The restaurant, owned by Walter Caron and sportscaster Eli Gold, opened in 2009.

Caron and Gold, both New York natives, became friends around 2003 when Gold and his wife frequented Salvatore's in Vestavia Hills where Caron was the manager. They named their new restaurant for Caron's uncle, Nino Reale. They decided to open the restaurant in a former Shoney's in Pelham because there were no Italian restaurants in the area.

After Caron died in February 2019 his family continued to operate the restaurant for a short while. Caron's wife, Chris died in July, and the business was closed down on August 31 of that year.
