"During my 23 years of working in New York City, I have dined at countless Italian restaurants, but none compare to Nocello. The delightful atmosphere, prompt and friendly service, and extraordinary food truly set it apart. My wife and I stumbled upon Nocello while searching for a dining option during a conference trip, and we were thoroughly impressed by the quality of the dishes. The Caprese di Stagione salad, featuring ripe tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, basil, and balsamic, was flawless, and the Pasta e Fagioli was fantastic. On our second night, we decided to forgo our reservation at Tavern on the Green in favor of returning to Nocello, where we savored a special Saffron Risotto with bay scallops and Gnocchi al Pesto. The host couple welcomed us warmly, making us feel like part of the family and offering us digestifs after dinner each night. We will undoubtedly be back to Nocello in the future; it has quickly become our favorite restaurant in the city."
