   Cant wait to come back and try other menu items! TThe Caesar salad was one of the bets I’ve had: light, so tasty, loved the egg in the middle. The beet salad was great, loved the ricotta The scallops were outstanding - perfectly cooked & loved the nuts and broth. The spicy rigatoni was good but too heavy. I could only eat a few bites and had to take it wrapped. The olive oils cake was really tasty and I loved that the cake was moist but it said sticky toffee sauce, which I don’t think it had. I wish it did and wish it was warm, that would have been a nice addition. The pistachio gelato was delicious. Highly recommend. The service was good too :) thanks. Will be back.

   unfortunately, our favorite restaurant that we have gone now many times for both birthdays and for my wedding anniversary has taken a downturn. Apparently Il Nido was sold and there's a new chef and the food just wasn't very good. We loved our waiter and the service was fine, but the food's not what it was and it was our 37th year anniversary and while they made good on the dinners by offering us another dinner and not charging us for the original dinners we ordered they never did anything special to celebrate our anniversary. In years past even if we didn't order dessert they still gave us something and wrote in chocolate happy anniversary on the plate which was always a nice touch. I guess we will have to find a new place for our anniversary dinners.

   We went there last night on a Saturday. There were some empty tables that did fill up. I haven’t eaten there in a long time and wanted to try it again. Overall it was a disappointing experience and I would not go back. The meatballs were good . They forgot our bread and I had to ask for it . I asked for butter I received three pieces of bread in a basket and no butter. You are entitled to bread. The risotto was salty and cheesy and the halibut was small and over some salty risotto. We ordered coffee and no little biscotti cookie was given . The menu is very limited with no specials. . It’s no longer a BYOB. They had a waiter bringing food to the table and bread he just put it on the table like here , didn’t say anything. I gave this restaurant a two for value. High prices . Limited menu and just ok service. Nothing outstanding. Sorry. I will pass on this restaurant next time.

   Hands-down, one of the best dining experiences I’ve been a part of. We sat at the chefs table and we couldn’t ask for a better experience, the ambiance, visual of the entire kitchen, from the service to the food, it exceeded expectations.. The special kale duck confiet salad was unbelievable. The meatballs were cooked to perfection and that was just the appetizers.  You are able to order half portions of their pasta dishes, (our server was great, informative with great suggestions like half portions so you can try more than one dish) and so we tried the Cavatelli, Spaccatelle & Spicy Rigatoni. All were Delicious & perfectly cooked.. Throughout the meal the Chef would check on us and have brief conversations which were appreciated and welcomed. We will definitely be back again soon!!

   The meatballs were the best I ever had. We shared a Caesar salad - perfect. I had the spicy rigatoni. My wife had gnocchi with crab sauce. I didn’t love that. We shared bomboloni (house made donuts) which were amazing. Great experience.
