Super special spot! We celebrated my husband's birthday while in Boston for the weekend. Where do I start!?? The burrata prosciutto and poached pear appy was drizzled with fin aged balsamic! The service exceeded our expectations!!! Next was the octopus that brought us back to San Vito Lo Capo Italy. The whole Branzino (Mediterranean sea bass) was a show stopper. Other dining patrons asked about it and were planning on ordering "next time" !! Our table was street side and a local violinist played to add to the ambiance!!! Perfect evening!!

Cute place and like most of the restaurants in the North End, very small. Tables are so close, you feel like you are dining with strangers. That being said, we sat next to a couple who were pleasant. Our server was attentive but we never felt rushed. Excellent service all around. We started with Ruffino Chianti which was delightful. Fresh bread and olive oil were brought to our table immediately. We then ordered the meatballs as an appetizer and they were delicious - reminded me of my mother's. My husband had the Veal Parmesan and I had the Veal Mare E Monti. All were wonderful. Last, but not least Canoli, Lemon Cake and Lemoncello. I would highly recomend Nando's!

True confessions; we were late arriving for our reservation but we called ahead to let them know about traffic. Our table was waiting for us when we arrived. We were seated across the side street in an outdoor church courtyard which was fine but a bit busy. Service was slow. Drinks were good. Unfortunately, entrees took forever to come out. The owner visited our table after almost 90 minutes of waiting to tell us they were short handed. On a positive note, the veal (wife) and chicken (me) Saltimbocca were both very good and the pasta that came with was delicious. Our son has a seafood special with clams, mussels and a 1 1/2 pound lobster. Should have been served with some crusty bread to soak up the broth and 3 of the 4 clams were unopened. Should never have left the kitchen like that. D-I-L had halibut which she said was a little dry and our fifth guest had the gnocchi. We were 30-40 minutes late for our concert which shouldn't have happened and really colored the whole experience. Too bad.

Great place on Hanover for a refreshing Aperol Spritz in front of the Paul Revere statue. The service is friendly and quick. Being able to drink in the sun on Hanover is a rarity but Nando makes it happen.

Had the burrata, and the agnolotti di bufala. Both fantastic. Also a great Negroni and Bellinis. Stopped in for lunch on a Sunday and glad we did.

Really enjoyable. Nando reminds me of my faves from NYC Little Italy. I mean that in a good way. We made a rez (a must-do) for a Sunday dinner. It turns out that in August there are festivals every weekend, and we caught the tail end of one of the bigger ones. It was busy, loud, and looked like crazy fun. We watched everything from our window table. The windows were out so it was like we were part of the party.Our five-top ordered an array of apps, main dishes, desserts, and a great chianti from their extensive wine list. There was not a bad dish in the mix. Some were daily specials, some were menu items.The staff we interacted with was exceptional.A special bonus was the young man, from Colombia I think, who serenaded us with opera tunes in Italian. Come visit Nando, you won't be disappointed.

worst spaghetti ever the sauce was so watery and the onions were cut in very large pieces. I'm definitely never coming back.

Popped into Nando while roaming around the North end. Very cute spot with some quick service. We ordered a variety of small dishes from the appetizer menu to share, since we didn't want a heavy lunch. We ordered the Polpette (meatballs), Cesare salad (had whole white sardines included), and the Brodetto di scoglio (Prince Edward Island mussels, stone crab claws in garlic, EVOO, and grilled parsley ciabatta). Everything was delightful and you get free grilled bread and EVOO at the table. If you're in the area, you must stop in!

Service was awful. Waited WAY too long for food. When I asked the waitress why, she said because other tables ordered entrees. We were going to order wine but no one bothered to ask about what we wanted after delivering water to the table. Food was OK, service was dreadful.
