Good menu, but it seemed like the same sauce was used on most of the dishes. Veal meatballs were rubbery and the veal scallopini disappointingly tough. Porcini pasta was rough and heavy. Even though service was good, the experience was disappointing for such a highly rated restaurant.

Food was solid, but nothing one cannot find in other Italian restaurants. Service was disappointingly inattentive. We ordered Caesar Salads that took forever to arrive, and finding someone to simply refill a water glass was maddeningly frustrating. The tables are so close to one another and the space in parts of the restaurant is so cramped that one sits "back-to-back" (chairs bumping into one another) with someone at the next table and it is difficult to maneuver one's way to and from one's table.

The food was excellent but the service was horrific. We ordered soup for appetizer and it took one hour to arrive (no joke). The main course did not come for another 45 minutes (after I asked the waiter twice). When it did come, both myself and my dining partner did not receive the side pasta. When the waiter brought them, it was the wrong type of pasta. It took another 10minutes to get the right type. It is very expensive which is not unusual for a mid-town Italian restaurant, however, to justify the price you need both the food and service to be optimal. The food was the service was not. There are too many other good options to take another chance. It is a shame because I always liked Nanni's and used to come quite often a few years back.

Our friends who formerly lived in NYC sent us here, and we're so glad they did. The staff was old school charming and the food was amazing. Whatever you do, get pasta with the Nanni sauce to try.

With the number of 5 star rankings, I was ready to be impressed -- but wasn't. The food was good, but not great, with the saltimboca a bit oily. The service was gruff, although that didn't really bother me. The wines by the glass were very limited, an okay Chianti as the only red, but the pour was generous.

At least twice a year, my husband and I dine here. He waits all year for the Nanni sauce and capellini! I had the nightly special, baby soft shell crabs - fabulous!

The food was good but I'll never return to the restaurant because the noise level was so intense that conversation was impossible without shouting. This made for a miserable evening.

Exactly what we were looking for. But you forget old school Italian food comes with old school Italian owners and staff. So unless you're a regular do not expect to get treated well. But I guess it's part of the charm. The food was good though and hit the spot.
