ONE OF THE BEST PIZZAS I HAVE EVER HAD! I have been to Italy and Europe numerous times and I can confidently say that the pizzas here are as good, if not better, than their European and Italian counterparts. That said, my partner's cacio e pepe was average. I did not like the wine they paired it with either. Service was prompt and courteous. It's unfortunate that they do not serve tap water and charge you $4 for a bottle of water. They also charge $6 for bread... I will definitely be back for the pizza though. read more

Possibly the best Italian food I've had outside of in actual Italy! We had the burrata appetizer, the broccolini pizza, lasagne, salmon, filet mignon with risotto, and the most amazing gnocchi dish I've ever had in my life (I don't even like gnocchi but the truffles in it... o.m.g.!!!). Then tiramisu and limoncello cake and espresso... straight out of Roma! You won't get more authentic Italian food anywhere in the US. I know cuz I've tried it all (including in little Italy in SD, NYC, LA, SF, etc etc). I will definitely be back again. And again! read more

I would give this 10stars if I could. Next level service and we all agreed several of our dishes were the best we have ever had! read more

Nado Republic - Great times, thank you! - Wine Bars Near Me - Coronado, California

Very cute by the beach atmosphere. The service was nice. The restaurant had a nice upscale touch with indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered calamari, bread ($5 not complimentary), and a Cesar salad (has anchovies) as starters. The rigatoni was our favorite. The had crushed peppers and parm upon request. read more

The food was good, the service was good. The only thing I didn't like is that they charge for EVERYTHING and are not upfront about it. Upon seating we were offered water. We chose regular (meaning tap) : but the lady brought a bottle already opened and poured it , no chance to say no. ($3.50 for that) My drink was a margarita with different options of flavor, I chose passion fruit, there was an extra charge for that. We ordered the fresh bread ($6 for a small one) . He asked if we wanted butter and gave us two options , we asked if we could have a bit of each, , well that was $1 each butter. I just find it a bit deceiving when places charge for things that are not commonly charged elsewhere and are not clear about it. The food: We had Brussels sprouts it was very good except they don't trim the steams/core, I hate that., Strawberry salad: delicious! Truffle gnocchi: very rich but delicious Chicken parm very good-, but the mashed potatoes we thought was part of the meal was extra $7, no mention of that before ordering Lobster ravioli: very good but the lobster was EXTREMELY overcooked. Super rubbery. Nice decor, but a bit too small, tables are very small and too close to each other . It can be hard to find parking. It was an overall good experience, but , I will not be rushing back anytime soon. read more

Me and my family dined here last night. Great atmosphere, the wall designs were very nice. The food was great, especially the pizzas we tried. The crust was good and it came with good amount of toppings. Highly recommend. The only reason I'm giving them a 4 star - we mentioned it was my sons B Day and know one acknowledged it. Nado thank you for the quick reply, I changed the 4 star to 5! read more

We came in last Friday w/ 7 of us for a celebratory work dinner, and had an amazing evening. We had the chance to sample so many items between the 7 of, and countless bottles of amazing wine: the burrata w/ arugula and cherry tomatoes (amazing; got two of these - one of our favorite items, especially w/ an order of their bread w/ olive oil and/or truffle butter)the Brussel Sprouts, some specialty rice balls, the gnocchi, to which we added crispy prosciutto at our waiter Lisa's suggestion - unbelievable; the lobster ravioli (not as good as I hoped). The spaghetti cacio e pepe was incredible, and inspired us to make it at home - wow. This will be added to the short list of great recipes. Shared an order of Caesar salad (excellent), and two orders of the Branzino (filleted, so we didn't have to deal with the bones, which was convenient, but not the best I've had). We had many bottles of the Barolo which was incredible. Service by Lisa was professional, friendly and exceptional. I requested the bill, and we were closing out, when my partner ordered two more bottles of wine. We never wanted to leave, but alas, all good things must come to an end. And then they go to Danny's... We will be back! read more

Ambiance - love the decor and plenty of outside seating. Inside is small. Not friend for wheelchairs or strollers..hard to move around. Service - good..food took some time.

The food, the service, and the ambience was amazing. Highly recommend you try this hidden gem.

Nado really helped us celebrate my sisters graduation. The servers were attentive and the set up was beautiful. We had a difficult time finding the walkway into this very crowded restaurant. the walkways and table space seemingly overlap, making maneuvering quite difficult especially with a wheelchair. the food was good, and i was able to leave with leftovers. we ordered a few table items and each had a different pasta, pizza, or salad. a vegan member of our table requested no cheese in her salad, a need that was not met unfortunately. the desserts we tried (tiramisu and ice cream) was my favorite part of the meal, aside from my martini. the decor tried to be very aesthetic. read more

My best friend made reservations for Nado and everything was perfect. Upon arriving, you are welcomed with this arch covered.with red roses at the entrance. Perfect for taking photos. Inside is just as nice and lighting/aesthetic is beautiful. Our waiter Isaac is the reason I really felt the need to write this review. He was amazing, he gave us recommendations and was attentive to our table of 5. We were here to celebrate my birthday and the food was all so delicious and fresh. Isaac even surprised me with a birthday song, slice of dessert with a candle lit and a huge happy birthday sign that him and another waiter came out with and danced/sang for me. It was absolutely amazing and so sweet. They were very accommodating when it comes to their menu so I order gnocchi with pesto sauce and added spicy sausage. It was soooooo good. I also tried their strawberry salad, which was so fresh and let me not forget their ravioli lobster was also delicious. Dinner here made my night! And all my friends were as impressed as I was. Thank you so much Isaac and staff at Nado Republic. I am craving my meal and can't wait to come again. read more

We loved our house salad, how burratra, and chef special lasagna. We would repeat again.

Most amazing dinner and b'day celebration. Originally had a reservation across the street. After a rude interaction upon arrival decided to leave. Visiting our son who lives locally. Decided to try Nado Republic. What a treasure. Welcoming, kind and excellent food. Initially sat at the bar while waiting for our table. Bartenders were kind and engaging even while very busy fulfilling bar tickets. The best part of the evening was our server, LUCIANO. We will request a table in his section when we have an opportunity to return. Luciano was professional, knowledgeable, and engaging. He MADE our evening and my birthday celebration. Thank you for making our evening. read more

I have been coming to Coronado for years and had never tried this place. What a pleasant surprise!!! Food was reasonably priced, and our party of 5 got different dishes and we loved them all!! Our server Galen was amazing! He was attentive without being intrusive , very personable, and gave wonderful recommendations. Honestly he was one of the best servers I have ever encountered and I have been to a lot of restaurants in my life . I highly suggest trying this restaurant , as this will now be in our Coronado rotation . read more

We usually go for a walk in the morning by the Hotel Del, and have lunch or breakfast sometimes, since French diners are right on the main street, I don't usually noticed this Nado, seriously the pizza are good and i really like the meat ball, oh Don't forget to get the quatro formaggi, the cheese are truly cultured and good, not a lot of people when we were there but indoor and patio seating are setted nicely. read more

I have been in Coronado for five days. Most restaurants were mediocre. On my last day I came to NADO. Ugh. I should have come here every evening. Come here first Then you decide. Cheers read more

Stopped here for lunch with two friends for a Sunday lunch. Greeted and sat right away. Nice setting off Orange Street with nice vibe and music. After discussion with our server who was very attentive and forthcoming, we all ordered different pasta dishes. The lobster ravioli and the rigatoni with white sauce were both very good. We thought the gnocchi with prosciutto topping was the best. We would definitely return here when in the Coronado area. read more

What a memorable evening we had here! We showed up early and they sat us pretty quickly. Enjoyed the ambiance inside and our waiter was exceptional. He guided us through the evening with great recommendations- Cesar salad, salmon and gnocchi were delicious paired with the Italian white wine...very tasty. Even the owner came by to check on us. I don't think you can go wrong here. Try the lemon dessert with limoncello to wash it down. What a great this place was for us. Thank you NR! read more

My daughter took me to Nado Republic for the first time while I came to visit. And wow the food was absolutely the best Italian food I have had in awhile.

Visited on a Friday evening with no reservations. We we were immediately seated inside. Server came almost instantly. They had a great selection of wines and cocktails.  We ordered the pizza with spicy salami, the caesar salad and the delicious meatballs.. everything to share and it was super delicious.  The overall vibe is a bit "tacky" / random with lots of lights, and decorations, and pics of Marilyn Monroe and Einstein on the wall. It's a bit all over the place.  Nonetheless...Grazie Nado per la cena delicioza nel  momento Perfetto. read more

Simply delightful! We dined outside and our server, Daniel, was friendly attentive and had great recommendations. Dining Al fresco was amazing. The weather was divine and the scenery incomparable. Nado Republic is located in a groovy, bustling spot near Hotel del Coronado. For food we all settled on pasta dishes that didn't disappoint. The drinks are robust, big and hit the spot. read more

Tables cramped and close together. Can't get filtered tap water / you have to pay for bottled water. They offered bread - and that was additional charge too. Order was wrong - and they tried to charge us for the added prosciutto that we didn't order. Pasta just ok. They do offer a military discount - and although dogs are welcome on the patio is is so cramped I don't recommend bringing pups. read more

We came back here after a month and the food wasn't as good as the first time, especially the gnocchi. This time it was dry and doughy. And we ordered the ravioli which was okay. The burrata was really good. Service was friendly. read more

We just had dinner at this wonderful restaurant. I was celebrating a milestone birthday, and could not have asked for a better evening! I wish I could remember our waiter's name. He was a very tall gentleman, who really understands the meaning of great customer service. The two pasta dishes we ordered were outstanding, and he secured a great tasting manhattan from the bar. The finale was a great birthdy surprise and a fantastic dessert! I highly recommend a visit to Nado's if you truly want a genuine taste of Italy. I know we will certainly be returning! read more

We have been saying we wanted to give this place a try for a while and tonite we did. SO HAPPY WE DID! I booked an early dinner for my birthday. It was so charming and our waiter was fantastic. He gave us recommendations, was so friendly and patient with my boys. The food was so delicious. We started with calamari. Tender, fresh and the sauce severed with it was yummy. My sons chose pasta.. lobster ravioli and spaghetti and meatballs. They devoured them! My husband and I had the gnocchi and margarita pizza. The gnocchi was soooo light and tender. The sauce was unreal. We had tiramisu and cannoli for dessert. Both were great. We cannot wait to go back! Great end to a very good birthday! Thank you Nado! read more

Wow I have found my new favorite Italian spot in Coronado. I found this place on Yelp when looking for a place for dinner in Coronado and thought we would give it a try and it was honestly some of the best Italian food I've had around here. The wide variety of menu items made it hard to pick what to order but I felt like you couldn't go wrong. I wish I remember what pasta we had but I know we did it with pink sauce. I wish I was hungrier so I could have finished it all!! The pizza was a great thing to share to start and I mean come on burrata is the best and we added prosciutto, perfection! The service was pretty quick and we sat outside but would love to check out the inside next time. The bar area seems like the place to be! I have already recommended this place to so many friends I will be back soon! read more

I have been going to NADO for a while now. Took my gf there on our first date, birthdays & special occasions! Every time we have been treated like family & fed like one too! My now Fiancé & I had the opportunity to celebrate our proposal dinner at Nado. They accommodated our larger party, but that's not where it ends. The magnificent service & attitude from the staff made me feel at home/treated like family. You don't find that service a lot here in SD, but you will find that at NADO. Big shout out to the owners, the amazing staff, bartenders & the way they went beyond for my & my family to making the night special. From the appetizers to entrees to drinks & desserts were absolutely delicious. You can tell it's all fresh, made in restaurant & authentic good Italian food. Not to mention the drinks/cocktails were great too! If you want amazing Italian food, have a great time & be treated like family, NADO is a must! Don't believe me? See the pictures! All of the extra music, fun decorations, experience came from the NADO team! Appreciate for making my special night one to remember! read more
