Tom Barber

I was just devastated to find out Tom had passed away. It's so sad. I've been enjoying his delicious meals and conversations, since I moved to Ohio/North Ridgeville, in 1990. He lived just down the street, at the time. Sending my deepest condolences to Tom's family, staff & friends. It's going to be so hard to dine at Nino's tonight. He was such a special person & so proud of his family & heritage. God Bless you, sweet Tom. You will be so greatly missed by so many. I will miss your smiling...

I have many fond memories of Tom when he was the Maitre'd at MarCal's Restaurant in Middleburg Heights. I was in high school working weekends as a busboy in the late 1970s. He treated the staff and customers very well, and I learned a lot from him in terms of customer service. I appreciated his humor and restaurant experience. It helped me land a job as a waiter at a very fancy restaurant in Chicago when I was in college. To this day, having worked in many professional environments, he...

So sorry to all of Tommy´s family & friends. I treasure every memory I have of time spent with him. Tommy always made you feel special. I´m sure he & Bobby are cooking together

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. Tom was a true character. I worked for giant eagle and was blessed to see his smiling face 6 am every morning when he was shopping. He will be missed. RIP dear friend.

Tom was always our welcoming appetizer when we visited Nino´s. He will be sorely missed. Heaven will now experience the fine food and hospitality that we´ve enjoyed over the years.

Tommy was a wonderful guy! He would sit at my booth to hear my latest joke and shared laughter with me....made sure I was made to feel special..and had the sweetest smile in the world. He brightened my world.
