Octopus & house salad were fantastic. Truffle gnocchi also amazing. My husband enjoyed the osso buco. The Chilean sea bass was 3/5, I prefer bone fish's Chilean sea bass dinner- ultimately I would not recommend this dish. Wine & cocktails were great and service was wonderful.

Fantastic! We're happy you tried a variety of dishes and found some winners, even though the Seabass wasn't your favorite. Thank you for sharing and for taking the time to share. We look forward to serving you again!

Our experience at Nesso was fantastic! We have not been in three years so we were excited to return and try new things. It was very quiet and we had a great seat at one of their large couch-like booths. We shared the octopus and bread plate. The octopus was good, but the star was the crispy fingerling potatoes that came with it. Loved the combo of the octopus with those potatoes! I had the tagliatelle and my husband had the orecchiette. Both were phenomenal. Finally, we ended with tiramisu which was even better than we remembered. 10/10 dinner. We enjoyed every bite, had lovely service, and a great experience.

We enjoyed Nesso for my mother in laws 60th birthday. Everything was amazing. Drinks were great. Entrees were fantastic. We ate appetizers, salads, promo, seconds, and dolci over almost 2.5 hours. I love this place.

We had to sit at the bar although we made a reservation. It’s NYE so understandable. But the food was phenomenal. I also realized they didn’t ask about my Cunningham points.

We're glad you had a great time with us on NYE! Yes, it was a busy night and it's hard to know exactly when some guests will get up from their table. We appreciate you understanding and hope to see you again soon! Did we get those CRG points added to your account?

Miles was attentive and knowledgeable. The food was delicious! It arrived at the table quickly so it was hot. It was generously portioned & nicely plated. We both selected the pasta, which is made in-house, perfectly al dente, and served with a cdented, tasting pomodoro sauce. We will definitely be back!

Our service was excellent and the food was superb. It was a lovely Christmas Eve dinner. Music was too loud making it difficult to have a conversation.
Nesso Italian KitchenResponded on December 27, 2024
Hi Connie! Thank you for sharing and for at least saying the noise was "Energetic." I'm glad you all had a wonderful time with us on Christmas Eve. We have a wonderful little restaurant here at the corner of Delaware and South and sometimes we turn up the music a little for a livelier time! Thank you again for sharing and for the positive review. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
