Our waiter was excellent. The food was outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area.

Always a must when we come to Coronado. Service is great and the food divine. Stick to the classic Italian dishes and you won't be disappointed

This is a very small venue and the tables are small and the chairs are uncomfortable. As such, there are too many tables for the space. The good but not nothing more than average. This place has received five star reviews but those who give such high reviews are not very good cooks in there own right. Will not go back.

Nado Republic is one of my family and I's absolutely favorite restaurants!! The food is authentic Italian imported from Italy. The service is amazing (Arlo is THE best)!!! Ambience and music is great and they do an awesome job with celebrations! Highly recommend!!!

I love this place! The risotto I had was phenomenal and the service was fantastic. The best Italian I've had in San Diego!

Used to be favorite. We were nickled and dimed for everything... water, bread (which wasn't served until AFTER our meal was done), blue cheese olives for my martini, I was even charged to have my martini straight up. Like I said, it used to be a favorite. Very disappointed.

The food was excellent. We started with the bread and truffle butter, which was a great introduction to the meal. For our entrées, we had the bolognese and the lobster ravioli with added shrimp—both were delicious and well-prepared. The ambience of the restaurant was initially very nice, but unfortunately it was disrupted when an overhead light was switched on directly above our table. It felt harsh and out of place, and it took away from the atmosphere we were enjoying. Drinks were another disappointment. It took nearly 15 minutes for them to arrive, despite the restaurant being almost empty. The old fashioned tasted overwhelmingly of bourbon, while the peach margarita came across more like vodka with a hint of sweetness. Both were underwhelming and not balanced. Service was the most concerning part of the experience. At times the staff came across as rude, and when they did smile, it felt insincere. On more than one occasion, servers whispered to one another as they walked away from our table, which felt unprofessional and uncomfortable. While the food itself was wonderful, the overall experience left a lot to be desired. Between the drinks, the service, and the disrupted ambience, I don't plan on returning anytime soon

The food and drinks were all delicious and very reasonably priced. Nice ambience and great service! Would definitely recommend!

Been there many many times. But this time I went around 445pm and there was no one there. We ate inside, for our first time and had an insane experience. The bartender was asking us for drinks and trying small samples of the new wines and whiskey. Had the steak. Delicious. Will 100% come back.

Fourth and last visit. Our other experiences were good but the waiter we had was awful. He was more interested in flirting with the women at a different table than serving us. He couldn't even make eye contact and kept looking away. At the end of the meal he only brought 2 limoncello shots rather than 3. Did he expect us to share shots?! He had taken the bottle to the table with the ladies and was pouring extra shots. We didn't need extra, but I would have preferred to be offered no shots rather than 2 when we were a party of 3. During our stay we found an Italian restaurant on the island we liked better and visited twice during our stay. I would pass on this restaurant
Luciano our server was fantastic! Took his recommendation on drinks and they didn't disappoint. Food was fresh and portion sizers on the smaller side but price value was 4/5. 7 layer lasagna full of flavor. Calamari spicy aioli amazing! Ambiance very nice but not as comfortable.

Lika was a great server and accommodated our group perfectly. Food, outdoor seating, ability to talk with one another...all were a perfect accompaniment to a great evening! We'll be back!

Server/wait staff was excellent, knowledgeable about food selections and wine. Brought a bday dessert with 4 spoons and offered to take a group photo.
Carol
We had a wonderful dinner with friends and especially enjoyed Luciano's hospitality and good humor. I had the veal saltimbucca with broccolini and their bread loaf with oil and vinegar. A nice finish was a Nado Gelato, their sister establishment, for dessert.
