We ordered the Greek salad, calamari, and toasted ravioli. The Greek salad was fresh and flavorful--definitely our favorite of the three dishes. The calamari and toasted ravioli were good but didn't quite stand out. I also had an espresso martini, which was delicious and a perfect happy hour choice. Overall, it was a nice experience, and I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

At that time, maybe things are better now, the wait was super long and there was no where really to wait... We just sat on a bench by the ice cream shop... I'm not taking off any stars because it was such a nice dining experience and everyone has kinks to work out!! The ambiance is higher class, with what I'd say a smaller seating area, which felt more intimate. Our conversations were not interrupted by anyone sitting near by. Our seats were comfortable and the little table lamp really added to the experience. We started with wines, which were crisp and delicious!! We shared a salad and each of us ordered a pasta dish. The pastas tasted freshly made with the perfect sauce!!! So yummy!! Totally recommend this spot!!

Beautiful ambiance in this small restaurant that I was not expecting in a shopping center. We made…read morea reservation on a Tuesday evening for the last meal of my best friend's bachelorette weekend. It was not busy at all, just us and another table. Our waitress was very nice and took the time to explain happy hour and shared the daily special with us. I got the Caesar salad and the chicken Parmesan. The Caesar dressing was perfectly creamy and a generous portion size (as it should be for the cost). The chicken Parmesan was delicious. I loved the homemade noodles and the Alfredo sauce. The marinara with the chicken was perfect. Great portion too. Our table was wondering how an Italian restaurant didn't serve bread for dinner. They brought the bread out for the meal. The girls ate the bread up and wanted more, and the server informed us that it was a $2 fee to have more bread. The first serving of bread came out by itself, my friend asked for butter. The second serving of bread with the up charge came out with a small ramekin of oil and vinegar. It was weird that it didn't come out consistently, and the number of pieces of bread was different with each portion. Well, I realize that the noodles and sauces are homemade, my meal (salad and entree, no drink) was $40 and that's pretty expensive for 1 person.

I'm so surprised I haven't reviewed Nello's earlier. This is one of our Go To places and has been…read morefor decades. Love that Nello's is family-owned. We tend toward their Veggie or Deluxe Combo with thin (if 12") or original crust. Their gluten free crust option is great too. Love their spinach salad or garden salad with ham.

This location is tucked into a strip of shops and restaurants, making it easy to find with plenty of parking. We arrived just before the lunch rush, so we were able to snag a great spot and were seated immediately. Our server was incredible. I didn't catch her name because it was a bit loud, but she was an absolute pro --friendly, bubbly, and incredibly patient while we navigated the vast menu. Our drinks never even hit the halfway mark before she was there with a refill. If she isn't actually loving her job, she deserves an Oscar for that performance! We both opted for personal deep-dish pizzas --Margherita for Mom and BBQ Chicken for me. The crust was the star of the show: crispy, flavorful, and perfectly chewy. My only tiny critiques? The chicken chunks on the BBQ pizza were a bit big; I think smaller bites would have integrated better with the toppings. Also, the cheese seemed to cool down quite fast, which gave it a slightly different texture toward the end. However, the BBQ sauce was delicious and the onions provided the perfect bite. Also, quick pro tip: They do have a restroom! It's tucked around a corner in a spot that looks like a dead end, but don't panic -- it's there lol. I absolutely recommend Nello's. Between the full bar, the outstanding service, and the very reasonable prices (my pizza was all of $12!), it's a total win. We'll definitely be back!

This is our favorite location because the food is consistently good. We pretty much order the same items every time. Sometimes Hubby will mix it up, but I always get the same thing. Hubby gets a Mexican larger on draft. I get the sangria. We always get a full order of the garlic bread without cheese. Hubby got the spaghetti with marinara sauce & adds 3 meatballs. I got the chicken parmigiana, but on the spaghetti I get Alfredo sauce. All the food was excellent, probably even better than normal. Service was good. She was attentive & friendly.

We ordered the Gluten Free vegan and the Detroit Gluten Free, both were great, but we both favorited the Detroit Gluten Free which is more personal style with 4 square slices. It was crusty and crunchy.... I ate all the pizza bones with the yummy ranch dressing that came with hubby's salad. We asked twice for more dressing, even offering to pay the second time but finally packed the rest to go home. We had the cupping pepperoni on the Detroit crust, just a hint of a spicy bite that grows while you're eating it, but even to the wimp I am it was very tolerable and favorable. Really loved this pizza!! We also ordered the Grand Slam Pizza on the gf crust and it was very good as well. I was told the boneless wings are great as well and gluten free; having already ordered 2 pizzas will sane that for another trip. We live in Surprise and hubs said he'd drive out again for the food (about a 1 hr drive!) The employees were happy and enthusiastic working well together which also tells me something of management/ownership so I live that as well! My ONLY regret; Pepsi products... I just have a preference so I try to note that as well. No debate, I have family that loves Pepsi! We WILL be back!!

Im a super big fan of their crust, it actually had a good flavor and texture, I'm very picky about pizza crust so I give it a 10/10. I also got hot honey wings and my bf got hot, both were cooked just right, crispy and juicy. Get extra ranch and extra sauce it's that good. Next night we reheated the pizza and our last mozzarella stick in the oven, pizza crust & cheese was perfect and the motzy stick was cooked as if we just got it from the restaurant. We are coming back for sure, great service, chill atmosphere and loved the interior and the cute little Pokémon card dispenser. We are definitely coming back!!
