I couldn’t even imagine that grilled halibut could have such an interesting taste. Nello will always surprise you with new great dishes and something they will offer personally for you. It is a really good place. Love it!

Nello is a fabulous restaurant! We had here a family banquet, elegant table setting, tidy and attentive waiters, incredible dishes. All this makes come back again and again. For myself, I noted the perfectly correct minestrone and lobster spaghetti. The banquet was on top, all the guests were full and satisfied. We had a rattling time!

My girlfriend loves delicious cooked seafood and spaghetti on this for special occasions we book a table in Nello. We often order fried squid and lobster salad. There is also an amazing wine list. All this allows to make our evening special and romantic! Thank you for the professional work and high quality service!

I always avoid Italian restaurant because they are too pricey, but I don’t feel that way about Nello because the food there is so nice. I usually order the Pappardelle Bolognese, the Veal chop with wild mushrooms, the Dover sole with Champagne sauce as well as the Angel hair Pomodoro and Piccatina limone every other day. Well, what can I say? I am a foodie, and this foodie recommends Nello, not just for the excellent food but also for the relaxing atmosphere and quality services Nello provides

My wife and I had a date night at Nello restaurant last Friday, and we ate Angel hair Pomodoro pasta and later added their Chilean seabass with lobster sauce. All our meals were delicious and tasty, and my wife loved and enjoyed the wonderful evening a beautiful atmosphere. Thanks, guys

It was our first time at Nello, and I’d say I wish we could come back for one more meal. We’re leaving, unfortunately, and we don’t know when we’ll be able to eat such delicious food again. Risotto with white truffle was fantastic. I don’t know what they add there to their dishes but the smell and the taste – it’s just amazing. We hope to come back to NY soon to try something else on the menu!

My first visit to this amazing restaurant was a memorable one. Nello was the only positive thing that happened that day and since then, I have been a regular. Also, do try the Tagliolini Nero de sepia, Ryan, my brother, never stopped talking about it till I tried it, now, I am doing the same. Also, the Homemade gnocchi Mona Lisa is worth the attention of your taste buds, give it a try

Nello’s dishes make me scream “Mamma Mia”, in my head, of course, can’t scream like that in a public place, they will think I am losing it. However, the Ugly tomato salad, the Angel hair Pomodoro, and the Grilled Alaska wild salmon are enough to actually not care and just express my satisfaction with an exclamation. You need to also try the Tuna tartar served at Nello before you die, honestly, you need to. Nello will always get a 5 out of 5 from me, every time

I always enjoy eating at Nello restaurant, their menu is filled with top quality dishes to pick from, and their customer service is top-notch. I ate Ossobucco with Lobster bisque on my last visit and just like always; I was satisfied I spent money on a quality meal. Thank you

I proposed to my fiancée in this very charming restaurant. We were so excited about the way everything turned out. The Veal chop with wild mushrooms was our favorite. We are surely coming back

After a long day at work, my friends and I stopped to have dinner at Nello restaurant. I must say that the Homemade lobster ravioli is excellent and the Dover sole with Champagne sauce is divine. Great place and quality service. I am very impressed

I visited Nello on a girl`s trip in New York and it was fantastic, we don`t have a lot Italian restaurants where I from, the food was great and I`ve been dreaming about that angel hair Pomodoro ever since. Our waiter was Giacomo, he was very helpful and polite. I look forward to a return trip

My girlfriend and I dined there not so long ago. Our date was perfect. The atmosphere is very warm in there, the food is delicious and the waiters are all very kind (thanks Alex). I recommend you try spaghetti carbonara there. It may be a regular Italian dish, but it’s different at Nello. It’s tastier. Overall, it’s a perfect place for a quiet and cute little date. I recommend it to everyone

Even though it’s the good food that keeps you coming back, Nello is not just about the food. Yes, as an Italian, the Fettuccini pesto sauce, the Homemade lobster ravioli, the Spaghetti Carbonara, and the Tagliata gives you a sweet nostalgic feeling of Grandma’s recipe, but that's not what makes Nello unique. How the delicious delicacies are managed with the clean refreshing fantastic environment, and the amazingly polite waiters are what make it special.

I am impressed by the service at Nello, it's top-notch. The interior and the serving look perfect and the general atmosphere is magic. The waiter Alvaro was very attentive and knowledgeable, he did a great job and helped us to make a great choice of seafood. I had lobster salad and my mom ordered grilled octopus salad with a bottle of white soft wine. It was just impossible

I’m in love with Italian cuisine and Nello restaurant serves exactly that. Spaghetti carbonara, tagliolini, risotto with white truffle and so on and so forth. They really have the best pasta I’ve ever tried. The special sauces and spices they add are just mindblowing. Stefano, who’s the waiter there, will always give you and advice on what to try next. Nello gets my honest recommendation
