   Service was excellent. Friendly and amiable staff. Music was a little louder than I would have liked and a drop thumping. Big TV screens with beautiful travel videos felt more like I was in an airport lounge and while was nice to watch, did not add to the ambiance. While the food was tasty, the menu featured French, Mediterranean and Italian which gave an impression of a restaurant not fully knowing what they want to be and what they want to specialize in. You could order french onion soup, boeuf bourguignon and also get a greek salad and pita with cucumber dip or eggplant hummus. Overall nice enough just expected a different experience.

   Everything was wonderful except that service is slow. But the food was worth the wait.

   Our server was fine and apologetic, but our food took 45 minutes to get to us - and then not everything we ordered came. They kept apologizing, but eventually it just became ridiculous so we ate what we had, paid and left. But the food we did have was very good.

   Excellent food and attentive service make Osteria Nando a winner. The selection of wines by the glass is also thoughtfully curated.

   I only recently discovered this restaurant, and my first experience was amazing. The food is excellent, and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting without being too loud. The old French and Italian music adds a delightful charm. I enjoyed it so much that I even suggested hosting a friend’s birthday celebration there, and everyone had a wonderful time. This charming gem in my neighborhood comes highly recommended.

   The new screens everywhere are very annoying. Perhaps other people like them, but it doesn’t seem as if there is anywhere to escape them. Not an improvement. The food and wine remain lovely.

   We love Nando, but disappointed that there was no Caesar Salad on the menu. We will not be going there for a while....for now. Best wishes Nando!! Let us know if things at Buon Gusto have improved. We will return if your chef gets his act together!! Steven and Sherry

    We were a party of 10 for a birthday celebration dinner. Cocktail menu was very good and varied. They also had a wonderful wine list that paired very well with the food menu. The highlight of the evening was the Beef Bourguignon. For dessert The chocolate soufflé and the almond and pistachio cake; delicious.
