    Our meals were excellent. The service was very good especially considering that it seemed that our waiter was the only one working. The noise level was acceptable. It was a very pleasant dining experience.

    This restaurant was a DEFINITE 10!!! Our first time there, our food server was absolutely lovely. We were not rushed at all, especially in between courses. Our food came out piping hot, which is always a plus for me as I don’t appreciate when the food is not hot. The cocktails were beyond delicious. The pistachio gelato with a pistachio martini was a perfect way to end our fantastic Easter Sunday meal . We will be going back again VERY SOON!!!

    Wow! I always order branzino when eating out. It was the best I’ve ever had! Made with a trout crème fraiche on the side. It was simply mouth watering! The ambiance was mellow, the decor is very tasteful. The wait staff was exceptional. Oh and dessert was fantastic. The basil gelato is so fresh and light. Just wish the scoop was bigger. Overall, a lovely place all around.

    I have been to Il Nido with my family on at least 3 prior occasions and have not been disappointed with the food or service. This time I went with my friends for a birthday celebration. The food was delicious as usual from the appetizer to dessert. I had the branzino which was seasoned perfectly and delightfully crispy. We shared a few desserts with my favorite being the Italian donuts with cannoli cream. Our server was knowledgeable on all the menu items and provided helpful suggestions. She was attentive without being overbearing. Overall a wonderful dinner with good friends.
