Old World Italian food and service. Salads prepared at the table and a large menu of tasty dishes. Got a red rose for our 60th anniversary.

Called to make sure the web page made our reservation and it did not. The guy answering the phone made the reservation for the same time. We were seated right away. Room was dark and we had to use a light to see the menu. Did not order any appetizers as we did not want to be full for dinner. My wife had salad and I had minestrone soup, both were good. Dinner was okay. My wife had Chicken Piccata. When it arrived it was like warm, the sauce was very runny, pasta was very soft and over cooked, and the vegetables were soft as well over cooked. I had the mesquite broiled Salmon. The Salmon was cooked perfectly, it was also like warm and topped with a butter sauce with capers and it was very runny. The pasta was again very soft, and the vegetables were very soft as well. Not worth the 85 dollar we spent. The wisters were very short and not to talkative. Never said anything to us about the daily specials and we had to ask if there was any speicals. We will not be going back.

The food took over an hour to get to the table. Had to ask for more bread several times as we were all starving. Fettuccine tasted like the worst bland jar sauce ever.!Charged $16 for a little lettuce with oil, vinegar, and blue cheese. Other family had chicken parmigiana, which was rubbery and bland sauce. The vegetables were very undercooked. The eggplant parmigiana was soggy and tasteless. The total bill was $600 and only a couple people were somewhat satisfied with their food. That was the first and LAST time we will eat there!

Loved our experience & food when we ate there a year ago. Took our family there last night for our daughter’s birthday & it was not good! First we were brought our drinks. When we went to take a drink the beer was warm. Called the waiter back over & he said oh sorry our drink fridge quit working earlier today!!! It would’ve been nice to know that before we ordered our drinks! He acted put out that we even asked him about it and said it’s not warm !!! They The saddest looking Appetizer board. Smashed bread. And the salad was plain wilted tossed in nothing but olive oil & blue cheese. Then they brought us manicotti, which had no noodle just ricotta cheese and sauce. We ordered steak. Every steak was undercooked and had no seasoning whatsoever! We were all so disappointed

When we showed up 10 minutes early for our reservation we were seated at the bar because they were running late. We were sat in front of about 30 dirty drink glasses sitting at the end of the bar adding up. The bar tender ignored us for a good 20 minutes before finally and rudely coming over and taking our order, only after the couple sitting next to us also said something on our behalf. We had been trying to get his attention for a while at that point. To say the least he was extremely rude and snapped at us for asking for mojitos interrupting that he can't do that pick something else. The drinks we ended up choosing were horrible and not made well. When I asked him for lime he seemed annoyed and literally tossed a small wedge onto a napkin and walked away, like we were bothering him. We sat there for about 35 minutes. Once we were seated, the waiter promptly came over and greeted us. He was great, no complaints on his end or customer service. The bread was burnt that was brought to the table, the food is sub par, I was confused by the mound of tuna and olives on the plate as an appetizer with salami and cheese. The salad is literally cut up romaine with olive oil and Parmesan cheese. The main course we ordered was the seafood pasta for 2 it was very heavy and rich and our sauce was broke. Both of our lobster was very rubbery and over cooked as well. By this time I'd lost my appetite and took nearly the whole dish to go, which they do box up very neatly for you. This is the second time we have been there. My first experience wasn't great either. We spent $165 and I doubt I will ever return. They do give all the ladies a red rose as they leave which is a sweet gesture, it is very dark and moody in there you can barely see across the room. Like I said the waiter was kind prompt professional and ontop of our table. I give his service a 5 star review. Otherwise, I am extremely disappointed about this date night at Nellos.

Excellent food/service, and very friendly staff. I appreciate their effort for quality. The lighting and atmosphere was comfy and romantic. Me and my wife spent our three year wedding anniversary here and enjoyed every minute.
I even made the mistake of thinking I left my wallet at the table the night before. I came the next day and explained my situation to them.
They looked everywhere and noted my phone number. The owner was even there and also made a personal phone call for me to their cleaning service in case it was lost in their tablecloth linens. They did tell me that they do have a solid set up for missing items and it would have ended up there. I later realized I just misplaced my wallet at home.
I was really impressed and deeply appreciated all the service they provided. I will definitely come here again. Thank you Nello's!

Perfect for date nights! The atmosphere and staff are exceptional. The sauces are to die for! I could easily eat my weight in the bread and sauces. Best scallops I have ever had and the chocolate cake is for true chocolate lovers. It was SOOO rich (as a date night desert should be)

Very accommodating! We had to change our reservation twice… My husband had beef medallions that were amazing with the best manicotti that I have ever had. I had spaghetti/ ravioli that was also very good. Minestrone soup is one of a kind, traditional. Taylor was our server and he made the evening an event, true professional. Can’t wait to back

I was looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and our engagement while in Redding and heard of this place. I have to say I was more than happy with the choice. We ordered a chicken piccata, chicken marsala, and chicken Alfredo with a Caesar salad. Everything was delicious. We were gifted 2 complimentary cheesecakes to celebrate. They were THE BEST cheesecakes I've ever had. 1000% recommend for a romantic evening. And they give you ROSES at the end of your dinner!
