    I love CRG restaurants..i was surprised at how 'empty' this was on a Sunday evening but learned that they only recently (re)opened for Sunday evenings. Had the 'prix fixe' menu and it was good but honestly not as good as my previous experiences at Nesso - so a tad disappointing. The variety of spritzes is nice. Somewhat disappointed in the chicken balloutin..nothing special and the cauliflower appetizer was also..just ok..the olive oil cake saved it all..in any event, good service but not what i have normally experienced at CRG locations.

    We had not been to Nesso for several months and were pleasantly surprised by the number of new dishes on their menu. The Heirloom Tomato Tart was out of this world. The new house salad was very good. We tried the new Pork entree and the Chicken entree too. Both were outstanding. Our server Jay P. as always did an excellent job of serving us and recommending the wines as well. We will return very soon.
