Mushroom pizza was salty for the price. Drink was meh. Atmosphere was nice and servers really tried to upsell you at every turn. Wouldn't return.

The food was vastly overpriced and not attractively served. Plates used were too small. But seriously, branzino at $72 is unconscionable and ridiculous ,And serving it splayed open slopping over the end of the plate because the head and tail were left on was ugly. Just plated on some tomato sauce. No vegetable either. Have to order separately at $16 a pop. Ugh. I had the pappardelle with mushrooms which was gummy and lacked flavor. A small portion served in a tiny bowl making it look and feel that much smaller. For $40 it should have been spectacular. And the pasta did not look like Pappardelle . Cut up?? Would have been nice with Malfadine. Sigh. How about a dinner salad of arugula, pecorino cheese and pine nuts? I think. That was $34. !! Way too much. I do not care if the chef has 5 Michelin stars, it is just too much. Even in my most expensive French restaurant, Marche Moderne, I do not pay that. Not even close. I love Italian food and I have been to every high priced one in this city. I have never seen prices like these. SO, look elsewhere for your Italian delight. Or better yet, just go to Toscanova in the Century City Mall and get the same food for half the price. They are just as charming. :-)) On the plus side, the space is lovely and the staff very friendly. We were poured a glass of Prosecco when we were seated. Nice touch. Unfortunately, I will not be back here as the value it totally lacking.

Nerano used to be one of our favorite go-to restaurants. They changed the menu and the 4 of us had trouble finding something we liked. The order came out completely wrong. They served my husband's main course while we had our salad. The apologized and made excuses, but we will never go back.

Ate here last Thursday night. Had no trouble getting seated right away at 630pm. Service was excellent from the host to the waiter to the bartender and other servers. The chef and menu are new. We loved the endive salad. My wife liked the eggplant starter more than I did. The fungi pasta was the highlight. We also had the beef cheek pasta, where we really liked the pasta but the dish was small and came out warm, not hot. The filling was not something we got excited about, so would not order this again. A bit disappointed not to find more seafood dishes, like we see in the menu from the older reviews. Our table was great but if come back, especially with a group, we'll request a table further to the back. The outside seating looks wonderful, too, but I imagine that's mostly for lunch.

Always a huge fan of this spot! Perfect ambiance with a nice buzz of guests but not too noisy. We shared a gorgeous meal of artichoke salad, filet mignon and finished off with a lovely creamy panna cotta with mixed berry coulis. The host and runners were attentive, very friendly and provided excellent service. Our server struggled all night which was out of character for this lovely staple but definitely won't stop us from returning. 😉

Not what I expected. Very expensive for a restaurant that was unattractive and the food so so
Amy
Fabulous! Excellent service; beautiful menu; exquisite food; relatively quiet; a real gem. Will definitely rave to friends and will return!!

Have always enjoyed Nerano, especially for lunch although most recently we had dinner there. It's a 4.5/5.0 spot and good to keep in mind.
I've been a few times this year already and each time its been great. I've tried a bunch of places in LA and I always seem to make my way back. The service, food and ambiance are all amazing. Everything is delicious,

A smaller cozy atmosphere with good service and seating both inside and outside. Salads, appetizers and desserts were wonderful and tasty. Dinner was nothing special for the price but ok especially the ‘specials’. It was a busy occasion but still worth a try.

For the prices that they have, the girl who brought the dishes out should've known who ordered what, without asking and wrongly putting it on the table. She would've been invisible. Down and left. I worked on organizing her. Chef is great. He would be great in any restaurant.

10/10 the Nerano pasta is a must. So so good. Had a wide variety drink selection fun for adults and kids. The pizza were also delicious!
