Estafadores / Scammers / ArnaqueThey charged us $260 for one aperol spritz, one virgin cocktail and one “house special” that was five pieces of ham. Absolutely horrific and abusive. Avoid this place. Let’s run it to the ground where it belongs.

Not worth it. You’re paying to be in Madison Avenue in the upper east essentially. Everything is about 30% more than it should be. Food is not bad, but not mind blowing either. The red teddy bears are genius marketing though

Another look at me crowd kind of a restaurant. I was forced to come here because of business clients who wanted to dine here. Undead botox infused fake degenerates of the society sipping on overpriced wine and food relishing their bygone eras of 80s and 90s sets the vibe for this has-been celebrity hangout as dead as the founder of the namesake restaurant itself. Pompous lowlife waitstaff begging for hefty tips are palpable in the air. Average food and atrociously bad vibes abound.

SCAM SCAM SCAM!!!Our recent experience at Nello was a lesson in upselling gone wrong. Despite the food being of good quality, the waiter’s tactics left a bitter taste. We were pressured into ordering the most expensive dish worth $200 known as (truffle pasta )which didn’t meet our expectations. The eagerness for a tip was palpable, yet once received, the waiter’s interest waned. While the food is worth a try, be wary of the high-pressure sales tactics.”Please don’t waste your money here. Their only purpose is to make money out of you. That’s it..SCAM SCAM SCAM

Food is overly expensive and does not match its quality with price. Really, you can get similarly good food in most Italian restaurants. Many things on the menu are not available. Not

Good quality however absolutely overpriced. Waiter suggests today's plates which are not included in the menu…ask for cost prior selecting any of these plates or else you ‘ll be surprised later!!! 129$ for a spaghetti??? Finally note that gratuity is not an option on this restaurant…20% by dafault!

The service is good and the waiter is very welcoming.But here was the SCAMThe food was ok. We had the seafood pasta and the risotto. I asked him if he could add a truffle, and he said yes without telling me what the cost of that was.The pasta had hair in itThe truffle price ONLY was 300$ without the actual meal price , for couple or truffle slices.I told him that he never mentioned the price of it and he said that this is the market price and you should know about it ?I was shocked with a 600$ bill just for 2 main corse and one saladHe didn't even remove the pasta with the hire at the first. He did after long arguments.TO MAKE THE LONG STORY SHORTERIF YOU HAVE THE SAME SUTATION DONT PAY AND KEEP TRAYING HE WILL DO SOMETHING AT THE END

I can understand that the place could be expensive since it is located on Madison ave but the food doesn’t justify the price, honestly in a trattoria could eat better.Not authentic italian at all.

We had an amazing dinner at Nello this evening. Everything from the service to the food was outstanding. The front of house staff are all very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be back.

The place is acceptable, the tables are very small, we were 4 people and there was almost no room for the plates, very expensive quality/price, 2 chicken salads, 4 spaghetti and 4 desserts, we had drinking water,We have paid &600. I do not recommend, and I will never return

I went on December 17, The food was delicious, they treated us as if we were not going to pay the bill, they gave some ladies drinks much more luxurious than ours and the treatment felt different, it is small but cozy, if you don't want people extremely millionaires who put it on a sign, if I felt that there was discrimination, I don't think I would ever go again
