    Our service was excellent and the food was superb. It was a lovely Christmas Eve dinner. Music was too loud making it difficult to have a conversation.

    Nesso was a cozy spot on a very cold evening. Our House and Caesar salads were fresh, pleasing to the eye and hearty. The Orecchiette pasta dish was delicious and perfectly seasoned.

    Service was great. Beet salad and house were good. Halibut was a bit dry and the pasta was a bit overcooked. The panna cotta was very good and the olive oil cake was good.
    Nesso Italian KitchenResponded on December 13, 2024
    Thank you for the review! We're sorry you did not enjoy the Halibut, but glad you enjoyed everything else. We will be updating our menu soon, so if you like seafood, we have a new sea bass dish and a new trout dish coming in the next couple weeks. We hope to see you soon!
