It's a nice place and the service is very attentive. But the food is not great. I tried gnocchi and pizza. The gnocchi were well done but the sauce was nothing special and the pizza was not like any italian pizza I have ever tried, too little cheese, the dough a litlle under cooked, very little basílico... It was all right but I would not dare calling it italian food...

I used to really like Nella, but I do NOT recommend the focaccia. I ordered on GrubHub and this is what arrived. It is so hard you can barely bite it and a lot of it is inedible it is so burnt.

This place was okay. I wasn't very impressed. The appetizer we ordered ended up being some very plain, very overpriced cold cuts. I got the sausage pizza which was very tasty, but overpriced. My wife's pasta was similarly tasty and overpriced. The cocktails were pretty uninspired. The atmosphere in very nice. Overall I'll probably be back here for a date night, but I don't really think it's worth the price.
