Fantastic for private events
Heard so many good things about Neroli and my lady raved about their food. Visited Neroli for the first time and it's all thanks to Joanna for making the reservation happen.
Such a unique dining experience that balances casual elegance and a neighborhood charm. The minimalist décor—soft earth tones and subtle lighting—leaves the spotlight on the food. Had shrimp cocktail and calamari fritto. A simple yet effective and delicious starter. For entrés, ordered the north atlantic salmon and chicken piccata that embody the restaurant's approach to Italian-cuisine: restrained, simple, delicious and thoughtful in execution.
The highlight of the evening was seeing familiar faces and the thoughtful note accompanying the tiramisu dessert. Elegantly decorated with whipped cream and surprisingly inscribed with "Happy Birthday" in delicate chocolate script. It had been arranged by Ivan the Manager, adding a personal touch to the evening and our server was nothing short of amazing!
The dessert felt both celebratory and understated, a sweet deal! Shout out to Mario the Chef for making a perfect meal! 100% would recommend Neroli and is definitely worth the 40min drive. I look forward to visiting again and trying out the other dishes.

We had a great experience hosting an event in the back room. Joanna the event coordinator was wonderful to work with and very responsive. All the staff provided great service and very friendly. The food was delicious everyone couldn’t stop talking about it. Thank you for providing a great experience for our daughter’s baptism!

Worst service ever ! I came with my parents for dinner, super slow. And the server kept missing our order, such a bad experience, I would give a zero start if I could.

My wine was not good for a Pinot Grigio. I asked for a veal milanesa which is usually without cheese, but they gave me a veal parm not very tasty. My husbands steak was not good either. The polenta was very light and not tasty either. The service was good but we would not return for the value. But on a good note their octopus salad was delicious!
I have been going to Neroli’s for the past year, and each time has been a wonderful experience. From the friendly hostess who greets you, to the attentive waitstaff and bartenders, everyone is welcoming and full of great recommendations, whether it’s food or drinks.
Because of the consistently great experiences I’ve had, I’ve brought my family and friends, and they’ve all shared the same positive feedback. The atmosphere is bright and uplifting, with a beautiful aesthetic.
Recently, on September 29, 2024, I hosted my daughter’s baby shower there for 50 people. The food, service, and coordination with their event planner were outstanding, and everything went smoothly.
I can’t recommend Neroli’s enough! for any occasion—whether it’s a gathering with friends, a celebration, or a date night!

A friend and I visited Neroli for the first time last evening. The front desk greeted us warmly and acknowledged our reservation. Since we arrived early in the evening, we had a choice of tables. The dining room was attractive and warm. Our waiter soon arrived and greeting us pleasantly and took our orders. Our meals and dessert were very good. All aspects of the visit were very good. The prices were a little high. I would consider Neroli a near special event dining opportunity.
My family and I always have such a wonderful and positive experience dining at Neroli. The staff is friendly, the food is delicious, and the ambience is beautiful.
We particularly appreciate the manager, Ivan. He is so kind and attentive and he is always making sure we are having a positive experience. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. The cocktails are great. I especially enjoy the Chicken Parmesan and the tiramisu.

We hosted a buy-out party at Neroli Ristorante to celebrate our wedding a couple weeks ago and we couldn't be happier with the entire process! If you're considering hosting a cocktail or dinner party like this we highly recommend considering Neroli.
From the beginning of the planning process the entire team, and Joanna (event coordinator) in particular, was so responsive, accommodating and really just made the planning process and event night a breeze! Big events like this can often be stressful to plan, but I can honestly say we were not stressed about it once. We had a say in everything form the decor, to the layout, the menu etc.
We hosted 140 guests and there was plenty of space for people to sit and eat, socialize and dance (in the back room). We were able to bring in a band, which was set up in the back room and was a great dance floor. We had full access to the terrace, which was a hit because the weather was so nice. We started the event with passed hors d'oeuvres and some hors d'oeuvres stations which were delicious. We opted for buffet dinner and open seating which worked out wonderfully...the way the team laid out the restaurant was so nice and allowed for people to easily get their dinner, sit and eat while leaving plenty of space for others to mingle around the restaurant. We've had countless comments from guests about how good the food and service was...which was not a surprise to us given we've eaten at the restaurant many times, but a great feeling to know that everyone enjoyed it just as much as us!
Every single person who worked the event was so amazing and extremely kind...thank you to the team at Neroli for making our wedding celebration so special!

Delicious food very lively. I snagged a last minute reservation for a birthday party dinner and we all raved about the food and waitress. Absolutely loved my meal and appreciated that the chef came out to check in on us. Already told all my friends about this place can’t wait to come again!

The food was fantastic, as it always is--but even on a Wednesday night the sound level was impossibly high. I know you have put sound baffles on the ceiling, but maybe the stone flooring just defeats their purpose. Tables were too close together for my partner to get to our table using a walker--we bumped up against the same patron, twice, coming and going. Overall, it made our Anniversary dinner a regrettable experience. I love your food, so maybe, someday, I will be able to return if I'm eating alone and don't have to carry on a conversation.
Neroli has proven to be an asset to Westwood. Chef Mario makes it clear that he cares about your dining experience. Owner Mike does a lot for the local community.

We have become regulars at Neroli Ristorante and are always thoroughly impressed. The ambiance is a perfect blend of warmth and elegance, creating a cozy yet upscale atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious; the Gnocchi bolognese is a family favorite and I recently tried the spicy lobster rigatoni and it was to die for! Do not skip dessert. The salted caramel gelato is heavenly!
The service was outstanding as well—attentive without being intrusive, with staff who clearly knew the menu inside and out. They made excellent recommendations that enhanced our dining experience. I highly recommend Neroli Ristorante!
