About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions

Step into 1 Nocello and experience the essence of Italy in New York. This charming Italian restaurant offers a memorable dining experience with a warm atmosphere and exquisite dishes made from the freshest ingredients. Savor the signature Fettucini Nocello, a delightful mix of flat ribbon pasta, tender chicken, savory mushrooms, and crispy bacon in a light cream sauce. For a unique twist, try the Gnocchi Chorizo, featuring homemade potato dumplings, spicy chorizo, sun-dried tomatoes, and pesto in a light rose sauce. Seafood enthusiasts will love the Spaghetti Pescatore, a vibrant dish with spaghetti, calamari, mussels, prawns, fish, and scallops in a light tomato sauce with a hint of chili.

At 1 Nocello, it's not just about the food; it's about creating lasting memories in an elegant setting.

    You can tell this is not a chain, but that the owner is on site and supervising whaat's going on. Well prepared food with fresh ingredients and herbs; the old wooden floors were highly polished and immaculate; comfortable chairs and different rooms and areas to dine in. Reasonable prices for the neighborhood.

    There is a warm and welcoming attitude at Nocello. Constantin, the owner, is a great host. The menu always features specials that are mouthwatering. The wine list is reasonably priced and food friendly.

    The veal dish was outstanding! The homemade tiramisu was delicious. The wait staff was extremely attentive. However, the table cloth was soiled. We will most likely return .

    Nocello is the definition of “ a neighborhood gem!” We are in the City 3-4 times a year and Nocello is our favorite dinner choice. We have had the same waiter for at least 10 years, probably more.

    Really delicious food in a classic New York Italian restaurant. Excellent service with a menu that offer a large selection of classic and unusual meals. If you go, definitely plan on getting the zabaglione for dessert.
