Reviews
We all loved their pizzas, especially the carbonara pizza. But we were all slightly disappointed about the pastas. We had mezzi rigatoni and mezzi spaghetti, the sauce and flavor were good, but the spaghetti was a bit undercooked. Our grandpa who had mezzi rigatoni with extra meatball and coke gave out all the food that night, but the rest of us were totally all good.
Pappardelle was good, along with the pizza, would be our recommendations to try here. Calamari was a pleasant highlight among other dishes.
Burrata is mediocre with well-seasoned cherry tomatoes.
The desserts were what I was excited about. The gelato.trio comes with pretty presentation. But the Dubai chocolate cake didn’t live up to its hype, unfortunately.
The restaurant is with good vibes with nice bar and open kitchen. Definitely great for hanging out with drinks. Loved the hanging chairs by the bar, nice for pictures.
Our waitress is nice, but we all felt uncomfortable that she kept making assumptions and decisions for us. We have a child in the party, and she brought out his pasta without bails and cheese because her own children don’t like them. But our little guess loves vegetables and cheese. The nine year old had to ask the waitress to provide whatever is supposed to be on the menu.
Not a bad local restaurant, but we all felt it doesn’t give us the impression what we expected.
The restaurant’s interior is stylish and inviting, a perfect blend of modern and cozy. Plush brown leather chairs, elegant booths, and striking star shaped ceiling lamps against a black painted ceiling create a chic, sultry atmosphere. The open kitchen showcases a gorgeous pizza oven, and the sleek bar adds to the restaurant’s vibrant charm. It was a glorious day, and with the large doors open to let in a gentle breeze, the ambiance felt simply perfect.
To start, we were treated to a complimentary appetizer, stuffed bell peppers and pecorino cheese, absolutely delicious.
The menu is thoughtfully curated, not overly large but with a great variety of dishes and an appealing cocktail selection.
For drinks, we ordered The Godfather and a glass of Riesling. The Godfather, made with Johnnie Walker Black, amaretto, and chocolate bitters, was strong, smooth, and expertly balanced — one of the best I’ve had.
We started our meal with the focaccia bread, which was warm, soft, and delightfully crisp on the outside, a perfect portion for two. For our entrées, we chose the mezzi rigatoni (which the kitchen happily prepared with marinara sauce instead of the creamy version) and the bucatini with shrimp scampi. Both were outstanding. The marinara was rich and flavorful, while the bucatini was perfectly al dente, the shrimp tender and well seasoned, with just the right touch of spice.
Our server, Jenny, was wonderful… professional, charming, and genuinely attentive. She made sure we had everything we needed and added to the overall pleasant experience.
To finish, we shared the pistachio cake, which was light, fluffy, and not overly sweet, a perfect ending to a lovely meal.
We loved Nudo Italiano so much that we’re already planning to return with our family this weekend. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel at home while delivering an exceptional dining experience, a spot we’ll definitely be visiting again and again.
The pasta is homemade and the lemon chicken was very fresh. The other food was also a hit.
Would definitely return!
Maybe if I had a gotten a pasta dish or one of their pizzas I could have pushed the food rating higher. On the way out, I had a past a table and the pizza did look amazing.
* Starting off, they did have a nice heavy poor bar and decent wine choices.
* Their Antipasti is a MUST HAVE with a nice selection and extremely generous the price.
* But sadly, I was somewhat disappointed with both the Chicken Parmesan and the “Veal” (subbed for the chicken) Francese. I do have to say that it was very kind of N.I. to sub the chicken for the veal (I honestly don’t remember if there was an up-charge). It could have been the cut of meat or possibly a critical misstep by insufficiently pounded it out in preparation which left the veal rather tough (I experienced the same issue with the chicken). Although, the bed of linguine underneath was cook & seasoned perfectly and a reason I would come back for pasta and give them another try.
.
I was able to try the Limoncello Spritz and the Italicus Spritz. I usually lean towards sweet drinks, but I preferred the Italicus. This was very unique and very herbal, super refreshing!
We had the Bruschetta appetizer, but it is not the normal bruschetta since it had no tomatoes. It came with whipped burrata, fig jam and prosciutto. This was all very tasty, but wasn’t served with slices of bread so a little more difficult to assemle/eat. I would also like to have more pieces of bread for the appetizer as a whole.
For dinner I had the Pipe Rigate which was extremely good! The pasta is made fresh daily and you can tell. It came out really hot and nice portion size.
For dessert I had the “Spaghetti and meatballs” which was cheesecake with strawberry sauce and chocolate ganache truffles. The cake was not overly sweet and paired very well with the sauce and whipped cream.
Overall, we will definitely be back!
