Il Nocello Ristorante Italiano offers a calm and relaxing atmosphere, although some find it reminiscent of a grandmother's basement. The staff is attentive, but service can be slow. The food is good, with the chef offering old-school Italian dishes like lentil soup, pasta, and stuffed artichokes. The restaurant is particularly known for its excellent Chicken Parm, which is consistently delicious for both dine-in and take-out. Orders are carefully packed, and a generous supply of fresh Italian bread is always included.
The lunch menu is great, with outstanding soups and main courses like veal pizzaola. Customers feel like they are still in Italy after dining here. The owner is gracious and takes pride in the establishment. Reservations are recommended, especially for large parties, as the cozy small restaurant can get crowded during lunch time. The food and service are excellent, with a variety of pastas, meat dishes, and seafood dishes to choose from.
