   The absolute worst; no air contioning in the back dining area...never told us when we arrived...the service was slow and the food was terrible. $13.00 for a bottle of sparking water; $18.00 for a glass of wine; $12 for a salad that had the least amount of lettuce and tomatoes. I have been here before, but will NEVER, EVER RETURN AGAIN. IT IS A RIP OFF

   Nocello is authentic in every sense of the word - the wait staff in their white shirt and ties to their beautiful Italian accents. The food is made, presented, and tastes of care and thought. At our table we had Risotto and Langoustine, Veal, Salmone, mussels, tiramisu, crème brûlée, pistachio cake, and the best crusty breads. It was fantastic! I can’t wait to go back and eat here on every return trip to NYC.

   First time back in almost 3 years because of the COVID plague. It was wonderful to see that 1 Nocello made it though, the same faces were there and the same very tasty food was waiting. A "Don't Miss!" place is 1 Nocello.

   Small but consistent with most midtown Italian non-chain restaurants. Very pleasant and comfortable interior. Waiters very pleasant and attentive, but not intrusive. Large and varied menu. Went there for first time for restaurant week but ordered off the regular menus . Will make preparation adjustments where needed. Will definitely go back!

   We were in NY for a girls weekend to see Music Man. I selected Nocello based on location- very close to our hotel. A bit deceiving from the outside. You might walk right past the door. The restaurant opens up in the back to a very nice space. All tables had beautiful single roses on the tables. Wait staff were attentive and offered suggestions when asked. Everyone loved their entrees. We had a variety of offerings- veal, gnocchi, haddock and tortellini. Everyone was happy! Nice wine selection, reasonable prices. I’d definitely go back!

    To enter: walk down a few steps into a welcoming but dim space, just what we were looking for. Early dinner before theater; restaurant was rather quiet (nice). Menus have backlighting built-in, so they are easy to read (nice) in the gentle room lighting. Good selection of dishes with several off-menu specials available. For starters we had 1) carpaccio and 2) endive salad – ample sizes and tasty. For entreés, we each chose a veal dish (several on offer) and were happy with our selections. Had we not had starters, we might have wanted to add a side or to have dessert, but portions were substantial – fine for us. Wines by the glass were rather expensive ($17 and up); we chose a bottle of Montalcino ($45), which seemed like a bargain by comparison. It was excellent with the entrees. I definitely recommend the restaurant and hope to go back.

    Made a reservation based on previous reviews. On the positive side, wait staff was very friendly when we arrived. Two people in our party had the spinach ravioli and said it was good. On the negative side, "special" fish salad was not only unappealing to look at...tasted awful too...surprised they would serve as a special. My fresh fish of the day was overcooked, (perhaps reheated via microwave) old broccoli and old potatoes. The entire plate looked very uninviting. Restaurant is a convenient location to Studio 54 but would not return.

    Excellent food. Excellent service. Perfect for pre-theater. I mentioned that I had a 7pm show and the food came out promptly, but I never felt rushed at all when I was done eating. The staff and owner were all incredibly nice and accommodating. Will definitely be back!

    I was taken right back to Italy when I walked through the doors of Nocello and was greeted with buona sera. Nocello is quiet, intimate and romantic. The Italian gentleman and woman who seem to be owners or oversee everything we’re so sweet and friendly. Our server didn’t greet us with his name and he was hard to engage, but the other staff was engaging and friendly as they delivered food, cleared dishes and filled our wine & water glasses. My husband and I shared a bottle of Brunello di Montalcino, my favorite wine. He started with the caprese salad, which was sweet fresh tomatoes with mozzarella, roasted red peppers, basil with a drizzling of balsamic vinegar. I had the melon & prosciutto, which was ripe and sweet honeydew melon with thin slices of salty prosciutto. For dinner I had the baked clams oreganata appetizer, which were six little neck clams with a coating of breadcrumbs and seasoning. My husband had the vitello martini, veal encrusted in parmigiano cheese, sautéed with white wine & lemon. The veal was so tender. We also ordered a side of garlic bread which was amazing!. I just loved thick slices of crusty bread coated with lots of garlic and herbs. We shared a slice of pistachio cake serve with ice cream & whipped cream. Sweet & tasty. My husband and I really enjoyed our dinner, so delicious. At the end of the meal, the lady came by with complimentary shots of nocello, which is a walnut liquor. Such a nice touch! I wish I lived in NYC or had a few more days in town because I would revisit this restaurant. It’s that good. Don’t miss Nocello, it’s a hidden gem in New York City.

    First time here, but will definitely NOT be the last! Delicious food - especially the Baked oyster appetizer and the Grilled Shrimp special. Service was so professional in this pretty restaurant right off 8th Avenue. Be sure to try the scrumptious pistachio cake from Italy, which came with fresh strawberries and vanilla ice cream. Perfect ending to a perfect meal!
