    Wagyu meatballs are always a hit! These meatballs do not have a lot of filler and are not dense. They are perfectly prepared and delicious. The Caesar salad is amazing. Both romaine and red leaf lettuce are used. The homemade Caesar dressing has just the right amount of anchovies and is not an overpowering taste. It’s a must get salad! The Bronzino and halibut were delicious. Crisp skin and crunchy on the outside and juicy white flaky inside! Always a delicious meal at Il Nido

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Il Nido and it was an experience I’ll be raving about for a long time. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the inviting ambiance. The warm lighting, tasteful decor, and soft background Christmas music created the perfect setting for a relaxed meal. The food, however, was the true star of the evening. Every dish was a masterpiece, both in presentation and flavor. The octopus was an absolute standout, perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The menu offered a great variety, with something to satisfy every palate, and it was clear that fresh, high-quality ingredients were a priority. What truly set this place apart was the exceptional value. The portion sizes were generous without compromising on quality, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable for the level of care and craftsmanship that went into each dish. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, adding to the overall excellent experience. I left feeling completely satisfied and already looking forward to my next visit. If you’re searching for a restaurant that excels in food, ambiance, and value, Il Nido is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

    Upscale, white glove service. Our server Abby couldn’t be more professional and accommodating. Food was on point. Atmosphere was quiet, relaxing and beautiful. Our new favorite place. Cannot wait to return.

    Il Nido has emerged under new ownership as a new and different restaurant. To their longtime customers, it’ll probably never be the same again. But for people looking for good Italian food in a cozy setting, you’ll have an enjoyable night. Some of the higher priced entrees fell short. The oxtail special, apps, and dessert were a highlight.

    We have been here many time. It’s one of our favorites but Last night our drinks arrived at the same time as our meal. The only complaint I have is that we sat down at 8 o’clock and by 845 we were done. I feel that the kitchen was rushing the food out. Food was just ok last night.
