Concert Ticket AgencyOctober 18, 2012Great place to people watch, be part of the in-crowd. If you're worried about prices...keep walking. This place is NOT economically friendly. Good place to spot some of BravoTV's finest.
Kenny OlsenNovember 15, 2018Alvaro made it easy to spend an evening sipping wine and snacking on prosciutto e melone, the atmosphere is so laid-back and Nello is really the best place in Manhattan to unwind after a long day
Netto NevesAugust 19, 2015Expensive and excellent. Good service, well made italian plates and very comfortable, yet, I prefer Scalinatella if you go for the food. If you look for a hot Upper East Side spot, go to Nello
- Obaid KadwaniApril 18, 2019There are a very extensive wine list, delicious Italian food and wide variety of seafood for those who are into it. The service there is awesome, too, and the Italian atmosphere... Highly recommend it
- William GoodwinJanuary 10, 2019Nello gives you lots of exclusive options to go by. First, you can book a table for up to 20 people, a party size, while also selecting the dishes you want to be served and when. Great place
Fiona MushiMay 28, 2019I love Italian food, so Nello, for me, is a match made in heaven. The prices are great and the meals are even tastier. The place also looks great and classy. Recommend them- Donna SuttonJanuary 29, 2019I visited last weekend with my friends had decent food and service. The price was convenient, and our Grilled calamari was neatly and freshly served by Stefano and Alvaro who waited on us
- Krystyna SieradzkaApril 24, 2019Nello is our fav place for romantic dinner evenings when we call a nanny to sit with our kids. We visit Nello once a week.Always a pleasant atmosphere, smiling waiters, delicious food and great prices
- Lillian WilliamsJune 25, 2019Italian food is my favorite cousin and Nello is one of the best options available near Central Park. Delicious menu and large wine cart - these are the main reasons to visit this place more and more
- Brian RingMay 23, 2019Want to try the best seafood and meats you have to try it at Nello. I ordered Veal Milanese today. It was perfectly cooked. I like their employees too. They do their job with passion as same as a chef
Sonal UJanuary 18, 2019- Andrea BrewingtonMarch 5, 2019The restaurant is nice and fancy without making you feel out of place. I loved the homemade lobster ravioli and veal Milanese, everyone else in my party seemed to enjoy their meals as well
- Kathy RayJune 19, 2019The most delicious risotto with white truffle I have ever tried! Real Italian homemade gnocchi! Sommelier helped to choose good and tasty wine. Pleasant interior and benevolent waiters. Recommend

I enjoyed every bite. Top service. Thanks to the fantastic staff

- Tobias BradfordDecember 5, 2018Alvaro was so responsive and attentive! And the food – spaghetti carbonara was extraordinary! Thanks to everyone at Nello, I wish you the best.
- Chanette LewisDecember 10, 2018Alvaro had many customers to take care of but always made me feel like I had his full attention. He practically brought out my risotto with white truffle as soon as I ordered it.
- micchele tottiOctober 31, 2014More about the whole experience than the food but the food is pretty good to. Don't expect to be treated that good until you ordered some really good wine. On my second visit they treated really well.
N AvedisOctober 30, 2018We were sitting outside, and it was hot under the heaters, even though it was pretty cold outside. Amazing dessert! Will go to try the brunch.- Sira KebbehMay 8, 2019I really enjoyed each of my dishes, they were freshly prepared, neatly served and spiced to taste. Thanks for always providing quality meals.
- Clare BeardallJuly 18, 2019Great customer service, the waiter was very helpful with the menu. Mare Monte spaghettini was so delicious! I totally recommend!
Leena NJuly 6, 2017Carpaccio with truffle is slam dunk ..the burrata was a winner ..the ravioli in the tomato sauce/risotto were ok..Very trendy @ lunch and service is gr8
BibkataDecember 17, 2016Delicious bellinis. Overpriced to the point of ridiculous. Have a blowout before you go if you want to blend in with the crowd.
- John KassAugust 13, 2016Best place. Incredible. The pasta is homemade. Very good. Burratta mozzarella and tomatoes are also very good.
- Isabel BrodieJanuary 15, 2019Overall, it’s just a great place in the center of New York. Nothing like ordinary restaurant food!!! It’s definitely a must-visit restaurant.
- Michael BlancNovember 2, 2018Nello Ugly Tomato Salad is my favorite appetizer which always precedes me digging my hands into any of the entrées on the menu
Saul SabbaMay 17, 2015The restaurant it's fan, but never get the any recomendation by the cheff , let know the price , past lobster and veal more then 100 $ per wich,two people 600$. Incredibilit expencive.
abdulla77August 18, 2018Lunch for 4 without starters or dessert: $400 (without any wine/alcohol).. deal with it..
Alexandra JenkinsJanuary 18, 2019Nothing. This place is sexist. The owner bans all unaccompanied women from sitting at the bar because he claims they must be “sex workers.” Unaccompanied men are allowed to sit at the bar.
Chiquitita 🍭March 23, 2019Calamar fritti, crap malaresta, misto terra, saltbovca,gamberi, cheese cake.
Michelle C.August 15, 2013I don't understand... $40 for lobster bisque??? Yikes. I know another place that does delish lobster bisque with truffle oil for $6 a cup.
Gene MarkusAugust 13, 2012Just had a very nice desert coffee and tea for the unbelievably responsible $168.00 US dollars. Please go to Nello if you truly hate moneY. :)
