Top-notch special occasion spot! I visited here for the first time for my birthday this fall and had a wonderful experience.Parking nearby wasn't too difficult with a garage connected to the restaurant and hotel. Service was friendly and since I noted a birthday in my online reservation, they brought a complimentary dessert!The burrata appetizer was a highlight, dessert was amazing, and we were happy with our entrees. The interior is beautiful and not too crowded when we arrived, although it filled up by the time we left.

I decided to treat myself to a new Devour Indy restaurant and Nesso had some of the most unique options for my pescatarian self. I started with the parmesean cauliflower, which is way more tasty (and visually beautiful) than you'd think. For my entree I ordered the fjord trout. The outside of the trout filet was crispy while the middle was juicy and had tons of flavor. Flavor wise, it was similar to salmon. My favorite part was the dessert - my first time trying panna cotta! The panna cotta was presented in a nectar-y pear sauce that wasn't overly sweet. It was the perfect way to end my dining experience.

Figured I'd update since its been a year, still awesome! I wanted to like Commission Row but Nesso is still the champ for a grand CRG experience!

Excellent menu with so many shareable starters, like the burrata (yummy) and fritto misto. I was surprised when one person from our party asked the server to check with the kitchen if they could make him a caprese salad and when the other salads came out he was told it wouldn't be possible. A caprese is pretty simple and the ingredients were part of other dishes on the menu, so that seemed a bit strange. The short rib entree was the winning dish at our table...generous portion and served on top of perfectly prepared and flavored polenta that had a hint of lemon to brighten it up.

Ambiance was 10000000%. Won't lie, we definitely came here for the ambience, and stayed for the food! Got some appetizers for the table - focaccia, burrata, and meatballs. All were really good - perfect to share with the table and all delicious. Salmon was perfectly cooked and every little element on the plate melted together really well. Service was great as well. Food came super quick and we had wonderful waiters. Definitely would be back if I was in town!

Another great place by the Cunningham group, this is a stylish Italian place, in downtown Indy, I met a friend here for devour and it was a great experience! I decided to get the devour menu with the wine paring that complemented each course well, I started with an Appérol spritz, then had a delicious Cesar salad, clam linguini, and tiramisu for desert, it was all delicious and the service great! Definitely check this place out if you haven't been

My Fiancé and I were visiting the Indianapolis area and decided to visit Nesso after seeing its positive Yelp reviews. We unfortunately had a mediocre experience. We made an Open Table reservation for a Friday at 5pm. We were the first group to arrive to the restaurant yet the hostess brought us to a secluded table next to the restrooms and server counter. We asked to be moved and thankfully they were able to accommodate. After reviewing the menus, I ordered a French Martini and was later told they did not have pineapple juice so I switched to a Cosmo. We started with the Meatball and Bread starters followed by the Gnocchi and Orecchiette pastas for entrees. The meatballs were quite dense but had a food amount of red sauce to accompany them. The Gnocchi pasta came out with minimal black truffle shavings and a very small portion in comparison to the bowl it came in. The Orecchiette was not quite the pasta shape we expected and overall flavor was more spiced and chili forward (a comfortable heat). We ended with the Bombolino, a recommendation from our server. It was small in portion but had a good, bright flavor. Our server was great and on top of checking in on us and refilling waters. However, the rest of the staff was congregating in the open dining room and talking loudly to each other which was distracting. The restaurant was nicely designed! Though the food was good, nothing blew us away and the customer service/hospitality was lacking; we left feeling underwhelmed.

Loved this restaurant. After trying many Italian restaurants in Indy, I can say Nesso is my top-3 (the other two are Convivio and Ristorante Roma).The restaurant is located inside The Alexander Hotel and there's a convenient parking structure with a skybridge. Everything about this place is beautiful - the hotel itself and, of course, the restaurant.Finding a table on Saturday night wasn't a problem. Our receptionist and waitress were both friendly and attentive. It's important to note that they make all their pastas in house from scratch. We ordered a beet salad, capelletti nero, fennel sausage rigatoni, and a panna cotta as a dessert. It didn't take very long to get our food - everything came out swiftly and looked great. Both pastas were fresh and flavorful. I wish the portion size of capelletti was bigger though - it was like half the size of rigatoni. Nonetheless, everything tasted perfect. Panna cotta with strawberry sorbet and fresh berries was fantastic - highly recommend to wrap up your meal.All in all, we had a positive experience and its decent value for money given the quality of food and location. Definitely coming back!

WOW. We changed our reservation from 8 to 15 people at the last minute and then proceeded to be the most high maintenance group ever. Our waiter, Miles, was an absolute superhero. He acted like we were a table of 2 ordering expensive bottles of wine. The old fashioneds here are excellent and the food is wonderful too! As an added bonus that will only matter to some, I have celiac disease and even trace amounts of gluten make me sick. I was able to eat here with absolutely no problem.
