The majority of seafood in this country is purchased for, prepared at, served by and consumed in restaurants. Each and every day, when chefs and culinary professionals across the U.S. make their choices in the seafood they buy and serve, they also have a tremendous opportunity to apply their talents, skills and creativity to the practice of seafood sustainability and ocean conservation.

Nino's Restaurant


By Carina Cristiano Leoni

My parents, Vincenzo and Inge Cristiano, celebrated 49 years in business July 31st, 2007 at their Landmark Italian Restaurant in Long Beach, California. Nino’s is where I took my first steps and it was very much a second, sometimes first home to me and my older brothers Nino and Mike. We all grew up in the restaurant business whether it was kneading pizza dough, making garlic bread, waiting on our clients or growing into other roles of needs. As the family grew up so did the restaurant from its humble beginnings.

As Nino’s enters its 50th year, we embrace the nostalgic feelings of the restaurant that we share with many of our guests. Our family restaurant and traditional cuisine are enjoyed by many other families as well, actually some families representing five generations of patrons. We also look forward to our continued citzenship in America by being active in our community. My family and I feel that small business owners represent the personality, diversity and difference in our city. Therefore with each year we grow we applaud our peers for a job well done. Recently Nino’s got involved in Bixby Knolls’ First Fridays where we are building our community through the arts. Again, it is a new direction and another journey for the Cristiano family.
