    Danny was fantastic! Hostess was pleasant and prompt to greet me! Quality of the octopus appetizer and spritz was phenomenal. A great choice for most any occasion you’re gathering adults for a thoughtful flavorful meal. The Alexander also has art on display throughout the building. Would advise to check for green park mobile spots around CityWay if available for reasonable fees. Valet also an option. And parking garage & surface

    The food was good and the location was very nice. The standout part had to be the staff, such a friendly presence to say the least. Would recommend if one is near the downtown Indy area

    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.
    Nesso Italian KitchenResponded on January 5, 2025
    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.

    Thank you so much for the fantastic words! We appreciate you joining us during the holiday season and hope it isn't another 3 years before you see us again. We hope to see you soon!

    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.
    Nesso Italian KitchenResponded on January 3, 2025
    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?
