    We were almost a half hour late for our 9 pm reservation due to circumstances beyond our control. Nesso closes at 10 pm and, though it was nearly 9:30 pm when we arrived, they greeted us with smiles and said there was no problem. Never once did anyone make us feel like they were hurrying us at all. We were given plenty of time to look at the menu and order. The food was delicious! Though it was after closing time, they brought us a dessert menu. My husband and I were truly impressed with how we were treated and, as I stated earlier, the food and desserts were delicious! It was our first time eating at Nesso and we will most definitely eat there the next time we are in Indianapolis!

    Everyone on our 6 member team thought the appetizers, main courses, cocktails, Italian wines and the desserts were outstanding. We all plan to return to Nesso Italian Kitchen next year during our trade show. Fjord Trout was excellent, Nebbiolo delicious, and the olive oil cake and tiramisu were excellent. Once again, there was not an item on the menu that didn't exceed expectations.

    It was our anniversary we had a nice relaxing dinner as they opened. our server was Jay (so nice and patient), he explained everything we asked about and was very respectful. They treated us to dessert for our anniversary and kept the drinks filled throughout our meal. I had the Gnocchi and my husband had got the Tagiatelle. Both were amazing.

    Have been there before but a little disappointed this time. I don’t know if it was because of Valentine’s Day and they were busy. Food was just not as as normal.
