Celebrated four year anniversary with my wife on Saturday evening with reservations made 1 week in advance. Service wasn’t good to begin. We waited 20 minutes to place the order. The menus were placed across the plates we used to eat the complementaries. Overpriced and uninspired

I was very surprised to find there is limited amount of bread for each. I asked for hot bread with dinner, they informed me it is limited…... an expensive Italian restaurant. 100%

The food and service was ok. Our complaint focused on the temperature in the restaurant. It was very uncomfortable. We asked our server for help. The server didn’t pay attention at all of the problem. Looks like the restaurant, in order to save money didn’t adjust the temperature to reflect the number of guests. I suggest you forks to think twice before you have dinner at Nello

This happens to be my favorite restaurant, and I recently had a meal with my family. The Tagliolini with white truffle is a combination of great taste and quality. The service is fantastic, and the staff is friendly. I highly recommend them

When I visited this place for the first time, I was impressed by the variety of seafood items on the menu. And now Grilled Alaska wild salmon is in my top

The waiters were excellent, the service was top class, and the meals me and my friends ate were fresh and spiced to taste. I ate Vitello Tonatto and Linguine vongole (clams); It was the best meal I have eaten in a restaurant in recent times. Thanks for the awesome service

I took my family for a night out Nello restaurant a few days ago, and we had a pleasant time enjoying their delicious meals. We had CAPESANTE, and everyone loved it. The waiters are awesome, thanks for the delightful service

When my friend told me about Nello restaurant and their tasty meals, I was reluctant to follow him. However, my visit last weekend with me confirmed his testimony; the dishes were fresh and delicious. I enjoyed every bite of the GAMBERI FRA DIAVOLO I ate. Thanks, I will visit again

I really love the lobster salad there, I order it almost every time I go there. It’s very delicious! Another thing I like about Nello is the extensive wine list. You can always try something new

I took a few friends to Nello restaurant to celebrate my birthday, and we had Tagliata (ribeye steak) and Pappardelle bolognese. The food was more than tasty, and they all praised me for bringing them to this five-star restaurant. I rate them truly five stars, thanks to everyone

One of my favorite places in New York. They serve fantastic and delicious food, pastas are my favorite. The wine list there is pretty extensive, too, for those who are interested. You can always ask the waiter for advice if you can’t place your order. I strongly recommend to visit this restaurant

This place is in my top 3 list to eat fish and seafood. I would recommend trying Chilean sea bass with lobster sauce. This is something you will need to get back again. And, of course, grilled Alaska wild salmon. Very tasty. The seafood is always fresh here, so you can be confident about this place

I love Chilean seabass with lobster sauce, and I am glad I was not disappointed at Nello restaurant like other places I had visited in the past. My meal was fresh, neatly-served, spiced to taste, and the waiter was more than friendly. I recommend them to everyone for quality food

We have celebrated my last Birthday in Nello on Madison Avenue and everything was so tasty!! I would like to point out their Spaghetti mare e monte and Ossobucco. I will get back here next year to celebrate my 30th anniversary in the same place and will recommend this restaurant to all my friends

Our family loves this place and we celebrate here most important and pleasant events of our family. Birthdays and anniversaries are celebrated only here and we have never been disappointed. Truly Italian cuisine, with the right ingredients. Prices, I can't say that are low, but here, I at least understand what I pay for and I can say with confidence that it is worth it!

I ate here twice, and I will come back. The pasta and risotto here are outstanding. I had risotto with white truffle and tagliolini Nero di seppia the last time, and I would like to try tagliolini with white truffle next time. The atmosphere in this place was relaxing. Nothing could prevent me from enjoying the food

Frankly speaking, I've never been to restaurants, just simple cafes and bars. But my bf invited me and proposed me here at Nello and now it’s a number one place for me. I liked the service a lot. Great variety of menu dishes to choose from. They have also great wine list

Thank you so much Nello restaurant for a very friendly evening! With confidence, I can recommend this restaurant to everyone. My friends and I had a great time, we were amazed by such a high-quality service. A white truffle risotto is unrealistically delicious, be sure to come back here again
