This is one of the best places to eat out with the family. My wife likes this place and I proposed to her here. The service is outstanding and the cuisine is always on the highest level, especially pasta and risotto. Lobster fra Diavolo is my favorite one, recommend to try it

My husband and I really like to eat in beautiful decent restaurants. This time he invited me to Nello, it was an unforgettable evening. Very convenient location, friendly staff, comfortable atmosphere. On the advice of our waiter, I ordered black cod with sweet miso and did not regret it. Thank you, keep it up!

It's an Italian restaurant that has all the "Italian restaurant" attributes. Delicious pasta, seafood, extensive wine list, and overall very cozy and family-like atmosphere. I highly recommend to visit this place

Nello is by far the best restaurant I have ever visited. The environment is cozy and welcoming. The menu here is excellent, and the service is top-notch. I ordered Artichoke salad and Grilled Alaska wild salmon, which were delicious. I’ll give them five stars!

The service was excellent. My friend has allergies to peppers and the staff kindly prepared her plate without it so she could enjoy the plate she likes safely. They were very professional!!!

Nello has a simply unparalleled atmosphere. It truly is the pinnacle of fine dining, I doubt there’s a more luxurious restaurant anywhere. The piccatina limone was particularly delectable. I had never tasted anything like it before

I want to mention the restaurant Nello with its amazing cuisine and excellent service. Visited him last night and the dinner was superb. We ordered chicken soup, risotto with white truffle and other dishes. It was divinely delicious. The restaurant is always a lot of guests, for this reason, the products are always very fresh. The waiter served us quickly, politely and smilingly, it creates an impression and mood. Well done, keep it up!

Together with colleagues, we go to dinner at the restaurant Nello, because we really like the varied restaurant menu, the quality of the products, the taste of the dishes and the service. All together it gives a terrific result. My wife doesn't like meat, and in this restaurant, there is a good selection of fish and seafood. The main thing is that in the menu you will definitely find a dish to your taste. I also want to note the interior, in the restaurant, everything is made exquisitely and tastefully. Everything is very worthy

After reading about how many celebrities love Nello, I knew that I had to visit. The tagliata was extraordinary. It was fresh, juicy and completely irresistible. I had a magnificent meal. Nello has earned every bit of its reputation

This is my favorite Italian restaurant, all that I order will certainly be delicious. We love to go to this place with my boyfriend for dinner, a romantic atmosphere reigns here. If you go to Nello, for the first time, I would advise you to try necessarily carpaccio with white truffle or grilled octopus salad for a snack and be sure to have any pasta to your taste, it's worth it! Thank you!

The food is simply amazing in Nello, we have been going to this restaurant for a long time and have never been disappointed! Tried absolutely all dishes, especially like Grilled Alaska wild salmon - a very interesting taste. Service is always at the highest level, attractive, cozy interior, nice to sit with friends in a quiet or cheerful company

My man invited me to have for dinner to Nello and it was an amazing evening with fascinating food. It's the best handmade pasta I've ever tried - homemade gnocchi Mona Lisa, and lobster with ginger. The atmosphere was just wonderful! Very special and perfect place for me since my man proposed to me here.

Highly recommend anyone to come dine at Nello. Now as I look at it, I feel like it’s a fantastic place for couples. Nello has a pretty excessive wine list and a wide variety of different meals on the menu. I’d recommend going for risotto or tagliolini with white truffle. I first tried it there and I really liked it, it’s one of my favorite dishes now. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find such a delicious risotto anywhere else. Great atmosphere, good prices and friendly staff – all that makes up for a fantastic restaurant Nello is

Best restaurant in my area to try some seafood! Nello is that great that I can’t even describe in words! I would pay three times more than the prices they have because everything they cook is just so perfectly combined, that your taste buds will explode!
