Nesso: A Memorable Dining Experience I recently had the pleasure of dining at Nesso, and it was an experience worth sharing. The atmosphere struck a perfect balance between elegance and warmth, making it an ideal spot for both intimate dinners and lively conversations. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the food. The pasta was outstanding, crafted with care and full of flavor—true comfort food elevated to fine dining. The seafood was exceptionally fresh, and the carpaccio was a standout dish, delicate and packed with flavor. Every bite showcased the kitchen’s commitment to quality ingredients and expert preparation. A special mention goes to John, who made the evening even more enjoyable. He’s a fantastic conversationalist, effortlessly blending professionalism with genuine warmth, and his recommendations were spot-on. If you’re looking for a place with great food, a welcoming vibe, and exceptional service, Nesso should definitely be on your list. I’ll be back!

I was dismissed from being seated because 4 white people came in after me. (I am not white). Next my entree was awful. This is 2/2 for vegetarian dinners there. We’ve been loyal to nesso since before the pandemic. But it’s truly taken a turn for the worse in food and service. Our server was very bad. Took 30m for her to bring us a second bottle of the same wine. When brought to management only excuses not apologies. We’re not coming back.

Hello Mrs. Nevin, I tried emailing you before you posted this, but the email we have in Open Table did not through. There were a variety of challenges tonight, including a medical emergency, which is why fire trucks and ambulances arrived during your dinner. I'm sure you saw someone getting wheeled away in an ambulance. I would love to invite you back in as tonight was not a normal evening here at Nesso. If you can provide us with a better email, I'd like to invite you back in a more formal manner. Thank you.

Everything was delightful. Service was attentive without being pushy. 3 friends were allowed to visit and laugh and enjoy our evening with wonderful food.

Although my custom note was a little humorous, the service team was FANTASTIC. As soon as we walked in, said our reservation and was just greeted with smiles. That was the best service I've had in any industry in quite some time. Katia was just the absolute best! Very personable, every single person. The food, oh yes the food! Food was seasoned quite well and filling! Another CRG homerun, we live only a few minutes away so this might have to be in the rotation!

We love Nesso! We've never had a disappointing meal. Everyone should try the Bruschetta. It's magnificent. As always the service by Jay was outstanding. Thanks to Alex for picking out the excellent wine.
Nesso Italian KitchenResponded on November 18, 2024
Thank you so much for sharing! Although the bruschetta was a special, it seems a lot of people enjoyed it. We may have to add it to the menu at this point! It was a pleasure meeting you and am happy you both had a wonderful time with us this weekend. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Loud and inattentive server. We had to wait 20 min to from the bill being dropped off to it getting picked back up. Tasty food but very loud where we were sat, we could not hear the server or each other very well

We had a delicious dinner and our server (Ms. Gaines - Meany) was helpful and attentive. This was our 3rd trip to Nesso and we’ll be back. We’re loyal Cunningham Restaurant diners and Nesso is one of our favorites!
