    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!

    We had the pleasure of being served by Erica who couldn’t have been a better server. Her knowledge, attentiveness and caring for our experience was second to none. The food was delicious from the Tartar to the Halibut and the baked clams to the peppermint chocolate cake, there was not a morsel left on any of our plates. Thank you Erica!!
