Nerano

Just Italian perfection! I can eat this pizza everyday ;)I've been here before and every time I come I try a special + a pizza, never disappoints!!! Love it - Kudos to the Chef!

The ambiance was lovely. I live right up the street and wanted to give this restaurant a try as I have passed it many times. Our server was kind, informative, and attentive. Unfortunately, given the price, the food was mediocre at best. We had the calamari and it was not great. The butternut squash and zucchini pasta were not terrible but not great. The basque cheesecake was also mediocre. We enjoyed our date but will likely not return for a second time.

I'm so glad my boyfriend and I spent our Valentine's Day here! Every single thing we got was fantastic and the service was just as good. From our maitre'd to our server, everyone was spot on with their recommendations. And chef Michele's talents are worth every single penny.We started with the calamari and Bianca pizza, both were surprisingly light and so fresh. For entrees we had the linguine and branzino and had to share each others because we couldn't even decide which was better! We ended the meal with the biscoff gelato, to seal the deal. We each started with a cocktail, the espresso martini and a Gibson, both were perfect, and then had a glass of wine each with dinner, again worth every penny. On top of that, the restaurant itself is very cute, simple, elegant atmosphere. I would highly recommend visiting for a special occasion or a romantic date!

I was so excited to try this place because everything looked so good. But I was so disappointed with every dish. The yellowtail appetizer was good, but the crudo trio was way too fishy. The cesar salad wasn't bad, but it was super small - more like a side salad. The gnudi/gnocchi was not good - it was very heavy on the pesto and truffle. It's weird to mix the two flavors and they were both strong. Not a fan. We had a vegan pasta that was decent and simple. The bolognese was also ok. The diavola pizza was terrible. It was floppy and too saucy, and had no salame. They claimed that it was in the sauce. The best part of the night was the chocolate hazelnut dessert. That was delicious. The Panna Cota and the sorbet were just alright.On top of this all, service was terrible. Our server barely paid any attention to us. He failed to write our order down properly. Sad to say I won't be back :/

I found my new Italian restaurant. Didn't think this was possible, given that I'm not an Italian lover. Nerano, you made me an Italian lover. Let's jump right into this review. What we had - 1. Garganelli al RagúGarganelli 'all'Uovo', Black Angus Beef Ragù 'Bolognese Style', Mutti Tomato, Parmigiano Mantecato - Delicious!2. Saturday Night Special Lamb Chops (2) 8-9 ozs of meat, baby potatoes, grilled asparagus - Delicious! 3. Dessert TrioChef's Choice of Three Desserts Served on a Large Silver Platter - we were allowed to choose our 3 desserts, we tried - NocciolinoGuanaja Dark Chocolate Mousse, Crunchy Hazelnut, Gelato Gianduja, Torched Italian Meringue - OMG, it was amazing! The meringue (slightly warm) on top paired well with the chocolate mousse and gelato (chilled). The warm and cold mixture plus the crunchy hazelnut was the WOW factor.TiramisùLadyfingers, Espresso Coffee, Mascarpone Crema, Dark Cocoa - I personally didn't try this dessert, but the comment was, it's very good! Gelato del GiornoDaily Selection of Gelato - I don't recall the name of the gelato, but it mirrors chocolate chip ice cream just way better, light, and creamy.Pros1. Service was personable. From the host/ess, bartender(s), waiters, and management, everyone was nice and engaging. Nerano is more than dinner. It's an enhanced dining experience.**shout out to the staff, bartenders, David & Zander. You two stole the show with your amazing service and conversation. **2. Food is delicious! Nerano keeps it simple...amazing flavors and simple ingredients.3. Intimate dining setting. 4. Full-bar if alcohol is your pleasure. 5. Valet parking is an option.Cons1. Due to the intimate setting, I highly recommend a reservation on the weekend. Potential wait when you arrive if the restaurant is busy. 2. May have difficulty finding street parking due to the area. 3. Food is delicious, but portion size is small. For me, it's enough. I eat small meals, and I'm strict on portion control, but for some people, maybe you, the portion size may not be filling. I definitely recommend Nerano. You won't be disappointed. It's truly a hidden gem. This is the restaurant that you make plans to visit. Want to visit. Look forward to visiting. Photos are dark, lighting was dim in the restaurant.

What an amazing restaurant and delicious menu from the great chef Michele Lisi of various Italian cuisine mostly of Southern influence. I was in heaven!Incredible hidden gem with great romantic ambiance. Wonderful service and great food! We chose indoor dining but there is an incredible outdoor patio in the back if you wish for outdoors. I even saw the amazing Diane Keaton this evening who I absolutely love!

Business dinner with colleague at this casually elegant Beverly Hills hideaway, around the corner from The Peninsula. Menu is classic Italian - we had the langoustines, the artichoke arugula salad, two types of ravioli (the daily with mushrooms and the zucca with sage), and the chicken. Finished with tiramisu. Everything was very good, as could be expected. Colleague is an Italian wine pro and ordered a bottle of Foradori Granato Alto Adige 2018 - wow. Overall, the wine list is very interesting. Service was friendly and the waiter was working hard to take care of everyone. I would go again, maybe bring wifey next time.

Awesome food! I enjoyed all three dishes that I had. I had the Bianca Pizza along with the pea risotto and the burrata with tomatoes and everything was so fresh, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor!The host and waitstaff were also kind and helpful. Definitely will be one of my go to places.

Fabulous dinner! My husband and I had heard about this restaurant from friends of ours who raved about the food and atmosphere. Well they were right. We started with the crudo tasting which was delicious. We then ordered a selection of dishes to share such as the tartufata pizza and the Bianca. So so good!!! We had some cocktails too and then we ordered dinner. My salmon was very fresh and the pasta ordered (linguine I think) were very yummy.All in all it was a great experience. We went on a Monday night but it was quite busy but service was still on point. Our server Emmanuele was great too. We will definitely go back. Highly recommend!

Honestly one of my favorite places EVER. The menu is beautiful and changes seasonally so you can always try new things. I love how fresh the food is. It's upscale, but NOT pretentious. Ambience is truly unmatched and the staff and service are top-tier!!! Good luck, trying to pick a favorite cocktail because the menu is perfection!!! This place is a must!
