    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!

    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.

    Everything here is delicious. Guarantee you could pick anything from the menu at random and enjoy it. Second time here and unfortunately they were out of rib eye for the night. I did end up with the coffee rub pork and it was one of the best pork dishes I’ve ever had in terms of flavor. We had Wagyu meatballs, spicy brisket rigatoni, coffee rub pork, gelato. All delicious and would recommend. Pistachio gelato was amazing. All staff is very friendly and attentive. 10/10
