This home style Italian restaurant tastes like something out of your grandmother's kitchen, amazing pasta and all dishes were devoured. More

Fun, neighborhood NYC Italian restaurant. Great flavors, attentive staff, and reasonable wine collection. Signature pink pasta sauce is delicious! More

Enjoy! Food is exquisite, northern Italian cuisine featuring daily specials such as signature dish Angel Hair Pasta with Vodka Sauce, and other pasta combinations with seafood, steak, veal and chicken all complimented by fine Italian wines. Personal attention by experienced old world style waiters in a charming intimate setting with limited seating and lots of ambiance. More

We have been going to Nanni's for years but no more. Six of us just had dinner there and were unhappy for many reasons. First, the A/C kept blowing on us (in Dec.) and various complaints all were met with either indiffernce or denial that the A/C was blowing. The room was packed, noisy and too jammed for serving. We... More

......I hesistated between poor and terrible. The only thing that saved that was that my veal main course was actually quite good. The POOR survives on the service which was TERRIBLE. Our NY friends had booked this place as a treat to meet up. We arrived on time to a very plain locale and enetered a tiny bar area where... More

I think it helped that one us is Italian American. Authentic. Three with wine came to $194 before tip. We'd go back. The other good reviews are correct. More

I love this place. Although I usually arrive with no reservation and it's usually pretty packed they always find a seat. The service is fast, respectful and friendly with the average age of the waiting staff of over 68. You have to know where it is as it doesn't seem much from the outside. A real find! More

We ate here on a Wednesday night, it was crowded but the restaurant is smaller and very cozy. I called around 5pm to make a reservation for 630 and was given no hassle just a very friendly "no problem". We arrived 15min early and were immediately seated. The waiters are all older Italian gentlemen and know their jobs very well... More

Visited Nanni end of January 2010. After reading all the favourable reviews I thought I'd try it. I followed the recommendation of the waiter and had a 2 course meal and a small salad. Service was good, food was ok, nothing more. Including 2 glasses of house wine and a cup of coffee the bill came to $105 + tip.... More
