Nino’s Restaurant Group announced the opening of its newest concept, Nino’s Beach, on the North Shore of Long Island in Port Washington. Slated as one of the largest restaurant openings on Long Island this year, the restaurant sits right on the shores of Safe Harbor Marina and features refined, upscale Mediterranean cuisine using locally sourced ingredients. The seafood-centric menu is accompanied by an extensive craft cocktail menu and a large sparkling wine and champagne menu.

Conceived to evoke the feeling of a laid-back and luxurious vacation setting, interior designer Anna Niedermeyer worked with the Nino’s team to design a space that allows patrons to feel transported while highlighting the waterfront views on all sides. Stone, brass, Venetian plaster, and specialty wallcoverings are used to create texture within the interior of the restaurant. The space occupies roughly 9,500 square feet and includes room for 200 diners, including al fresco dining with an amazing waterfront experience.
