I think I prefer simpler food. The food was good, not great. The recipes and the presentation seemed, to me, to be trying to hard.The restaurant is quite dark. I used a flashlight to read the menu. On the noisy side.The service was good

The meat ball is amazing. I saw lots of reviews of it, now I understand. This is insane!!! No.1 meat ball in my life. Most of foods are quite salty. If you don’t like, better to ask when you order.

Over the past couple of years I’ve ordered from here a handful of times now and one thing I can contest to is how consistent and high quality the food is even for delivery orders. Quality ingredients, hot and fresh, generous portions, great price, sustainable packaging. That alone wows me, not to mention how tasty and well executed they are. Some of the best pasta dishes I’ve tried in the city so far. 10/10 would recommend.

Passed this restaurant many times. Saw the reviews and informed the wife. She gave the green light to try it out, and not disappointed at all. The food was fantastic, from the appetizers, to the main course to the dessert. And the wine was perfect too.Only thing I could say was a downsize, was that it's dark in the restaurant, so hard to read the menu, and music was just a tad louder then needed. But I knew that going in, having read that in other reviews. So it still won't sway me from going back again

The food was solid! We had the Burrata, giant meatball, the butternut squash pasta and mushroom pasta and it was all delicious. Very solid Italian food at a good price point. Service was great and the atmosphere was nice!

Our dining experience at The Nose was a rollercoaster of flavors, with some dishes hitting the mark while others fell short.We got there antipastis to start.The risotto balls were a standout, offering a tantalizing combination of creamy interior and crispy exterior that left us wanting more. However, the Tuscany fries left something to be desired, as they were unfortunately too moist for our liking.The burrata with red sauce presented a delightful contrast of textures and flavors, showcasing the kitchen’s creativity.On the flip side, the gnocchi failed to impress, lacking the lightness and flavor that characterizes exceptional gnocchi dishes.The tagliatelle bolognese was a comforting choice, delivering the familiar flavors one would expect from this classic dish. Finally, the cremini mushroom and roasted walnut tagliatelle stole the show with its decadent combination of earthy mushrooms and crunchy walnuts, leaving a lasting impression.While our experience was mixed, The Nose certainly has potential, and we would be willing to give it another try in the future.

This dinner was sooo good. Giant Meat ball, Crespelle, and Veg Pappardelle. The Nose team was so attentive, the food so good. We enjoyed, wine, martinis, and lemon cello. The place has a great vibe and was the go to for our friend's birthday.

The white sauce is simply brilliant. Better than anything I've ever tasted. The crapelle is magical and I'd recommended it to anyone including asians.
