Delicious food, but the server was rude and had an attitude. Will not go back.

Good food atmosphere looks like your grandma's basement service looks like bunch of people from the yellow bus swarming around. When you ask for something like a glass of water it would take 20 minutes to get if you ask for more bread another 20 minutes. The food is good The chef is old school. So if you want good food I suggest you come here but if you're looking for nice atmosphere and great service you're better off just going to Burger King because you could always have it your way right away at Burger King now.Vegetarian options: You could have lentil soup pasta stuffed artichokes vegetables etc

The service was lacking. One waiter had a puss on his face. We were a party of 10. When they took our individual orders, we could only order one thing at a time. we couldn’t give them the complete order so it had to be appetizers then entrées and we weren’t allowed to give the drink order till the very end, and that only happened until we got their attention. The food was ok passable.

I am surprised at the amount of good reviews that this restaurant has. I will not let emotion partake into this review but will critique with delicacy. There are no take aways from the food, authentic to say the least. However, my biggest take away from this has to be the experience that ‘Nocello Ristorante Italiano’ has provided. It has left my family and I speechless as we have been what they call “ blotted out”. It was evident that this restaurant appeals to the liking of typical customers but surely does no effort to welcome new ones. From getting seated last, after an absurd wait time, to seeing customers walk in to the liking of the restaurant workers and seated before us. Surely that wasn’t the only thing, we had to request constant service, having to get up from our chair to gain the attention of a worker who had been deliberately holding conversations with customers for long periods of time (to your surprise, it was with the customers that came in after us and seated before us). Waiting long periods of time for the simplicity of a glass of water to getting our orders taken at the very end, and yes the customers that arrived after us got their order first. Unfortunately for my family and myself that experience happened in July of 2023 and for unforeseen circumstances this review was never written at the time of. However, the occurrence of this review now is because of the, once again, terrible customer service that this restaurant has provided. I was trying to call over the phone for a pick up order and was given no sort of courtesy over the phone as this female employee spoke patronizing me over the phone. This employee not only did that in a very condescending way but was not providing me with information on dishes that they should be aware of, with something as simple as “ how many mozzarella sticks are in one order?” and telling me that I have to wait a couple minutes to obtain an answer. ‘ Nocello Ristorante Italiano’ could potentially be the closest thing to authentic italian food, equally so, it could also be an historial source of bigotry.

Thank you Rosando, Willie, Jose and the kitchen for an amazing lunch for 25 people yesterday to celebrate my Mothers memory after the funeral.We have always been huge fans of your restaurant and once again the food and service was first class and we were so pleased. Our guests complimented every dish and everyone that was there are now huge fans of il Nocello and will certainly be back on there own! Thanks so much!!!

What a delightful surprise in Paul's old nbhd in Whitestone! White tablecloth kind of place. Upscale service. Lobster ravioli with pink sauce with lobster bits - heavenly. Broccoli Rabe was light and perfect. Wine and beer. We will be back.

Nocello has the best food period. I've never had a bad meal there. Prices are very reasonable and service is always great. You definitely will enjoy
Food was delicious, wine was good, service was exemplary.

The food was good but I am terribly disappointed with the overall attitude of the staff. A couple of the guys were friendly but the waiter wasn’t polite or friendly at all and I personally think that you should be welcoming and friendly if you venture into the hospitality industry.

This is not a place I would send my friends too. The people are nice, but the food could be better. I have been there twice so far will not be going there a third time!
