A Little History

Michael has restaurateur in his blood; his parents opened The Collegiate in Alfred, NY more than 60 years ago and the Alfred Coffee Shop, still owned and operated by the family.
Melissa was a corporate bar and service trainer for Friday’s and Longhorn Steakhouse Restaurant before moving to Murphys. She also opened Piazza Home Décor, another successful Murphys business.
The Ninos’ philosophy is to create an enjoyable atmosphere, a place they themselves would hang out. Melissa commented, “The best part of what we do here, is watching people have fun, and meeting new friends along the way.”
