Nardò Italian

It was hubby and my day to entertain my little niece and we found Nardo after we finished our session at Color Me Mine ins downtown Culver City. It was a bit of a walk for niece but we finally made it. I arrived first because I jaywalked while hubby took the safe route with niece and joined me at an outdoor table that was nicely shaded.Everyone was so friendly included the manager, server, busboys.For food, we went all out just so we made sure niece had plenty to eat. We got her a kid's pasta and a kid's pizza which tbh were both adult portioned lol. Hubby and I also shared a proscuitto and burrato app while he ordered a pizza (Nardo) and I got the pistachio pasta (bucatini al pistacchio) Guys.I've never seen my niece eat so much before. She wanted a bit of everything...her pasta, a slice of pizza. She even ate some proscuitto and and asked to try my pasta. She's three!Afterwards, we passed on dessert but our server gifted her chocolate ice cream which she thoroughly enjoyed if you judged by the ring of chocolate around her mouth. The weather was perfect - sunny yet the tiniest bit nippy in the shade. It felt really nice and dining al fresco really hit the spot Mostly, our niece had a great time and will always remember that ice cream.Check it out!

This is really a 2/5 I added a star cause the owner/ manager is trying his best...fourth branzino I've had as an entree, and easily fourth out of four I've had. Overcooked and no meat. The Caesar salad was half crouton and worse than the pre packKit at Trader Joe's for $2.99...but most egregious is the "avocado" burrata spread...low quality burrata, and the avo is the "spread" you get at grocery store 1000%. No avocados smashed here. The service is awful. I asked my server "how are you?" And she started with "I'm tired". I feel bad for her. But it showed, give the woman a night off and get wait staff who's attentive...you had to FIGHT to get your order at this place Ambiance was good though! All around, solid 2.5/5 , I'll definitely stick to Brentwood and Beverly Hills when doing Italian.

Walked in for Valentine's day and got seated at the bar. The servers and the atmosphere were both lovely and the menu looked pretty good! Biggest letdown was the lasagna. I get that it was very busy and they probably prepped beforehand, but the center of the lasagna was cold. First bite of the outside was decent, but the cold noodle and cold bechamel were pretty off-putting.

Came as a party of 2 on a Friday at 7 PM. There was no wait and we were seated outside by the heat lamps. It is quite a small restaurant as the tables are pretty close to one another. Parking: Parking can be a bit tricky. Street parking is limited, but there are parking garages about two blocks away. Be prepared for a short walk, as the restaurant is located on a busy strip of eateries.Ambience: Cozy and intimate vibe that's perfect for a date night or a relaxed evening out.Service: The service was fantastic! The waiter was friendly, attentive, and well-informed, helping us look through the menu when we were indecisive.Food:Arancini Squid Ink - 8.5/10: Crispy, flavorful, and unique it's a must-try dish that we'll definitely order again.Jalapeno Pizza - 7.5/10: Loved the crunchy-yet-soft/light crust, although we wish it had more spice.Paccheri All'astice - 8/10: The lobster was cooked perfectly, and the al dente pasta was wonderful. It could have used a touch more sauce but is still a solid choice for impressing your group.Aperol Spritz - 8/10: Light and refreshing, a great pairing with the meal.Sweater Weather - 8/10: A cozy and delicious cocktail to round out the night.Summary: Nardò Italian is a great place for Italian cuisine and cozy vibes. The intimate setting, attentive service, and unique dishes make it worth a visit, especially for a special night out.

Nardò is amazing! I felt very welcome there from the moment I walked in. The service is top notch. Marco was our server, and he was super friendly and nice! My friend and I really enjoyed our food - we had the bucatini al pistacchio and the ravioli alla cardinale (one of the specials). Ravioli is my favorite dish of all time, and it's not always easy to find a good one in LA, but I loved this one. The vibe is super cute - perfect for any occasion really - a date, a friend catchup, or a family dinner. And the food is autentico. The pizza looked incredible, and it's Vera Pizza Napoletana, which is a big deal! I definitely need to come back and try it. Highly recommend this spot!

Really enjoyed the food and service here! Our waiter was super attentive, accommodating and quick. We ordered dinner and it came out so quick! Everything we ordered was delicious. We had the margherita pizza, cacio e Pepe pizza, burrata and prosciutto, Caesar salad, linguine, and fettuccini.We sat in a their outdoor seating area which was warm and covered. There was a random tv behind our table that we asked to have turned off since it was so close and a bit distracting/out of place for the space.

BEST pizza ever. so fluffy, airy, flavorful. Great service, friendly staff. Everything is good, just go have some pizza!!! You won't regret it.

Came here for a friends birthday and it was not too packed on a Thursday night. The service was quick and our food came out earlier than we could eat. Love the pastas ấn pizza options we got. There's something for everyone at this restaurant. The server even gave my friend dessert with a candle for her bday. Very cute vibes. Street parking or park in the parking structures nearby.

This restaurant is my new favorite in downtown Culver! First off the patio is beautiful and I love the ambiance. You feel like you're basically in Europe on a side street. I enjoyed everything we ordered. We tried all of their salads. The watermelon and artichoke salads were good sized and so flavorful! Their portion for the burrata and prosciutto was huge and so worth it! I had their mushroom ravioli and my husband ordered a special pizza. The food was all incredible and filled with love. Our waitress was quick and friendly which always makes an experience better! She also brought us this chocolate mousse for our anniversary! It was sweet! Literally.. LOL! Thanks for the great dining experience. Their mocktails are also the best ones I have ever ordered. 5 stars!!!

I tried out Nardo a couple weeks after it opened in Culver City and this place is incredible. I eat quite a lot of Italian food and throughout LA it's always a hit or miss. I feel that Nardo is one of the best that I have had. It offers a unique spin on Italian dishes and what they offer. Their Ravioli has the perfect hint of truffle, with mushrooms, and isnt too heavy. The pizzas are fresh and shareable. The pizzas bread specifically stands apart with that homemade feeling. Pair it with some starter bread and an Aperol spritz and you have a filling dinner that doesn't have you leaving uncomfortable. Staff is super friendly and the location is set in downtown Culver City, which is perfect for date night if you are wanting to walk around or sit outside on their patio. Highly recommend checking them out!
