Not recommended
This place was a complete rip-off.They are capitalizing on tourists who unwittingly walk in and pour $20 glasses of water with ridiculously overpriced meals. I have never been ripped off like I was here. Learn from my mistake.

Sunny location, shady business
I am surprised this proprietor is still business. He is running the worst food scam in town. Just read all the reviews below. All true. Everything is overpriced for average food quality and presentation. The waitstaff is well trained how to scam customers. They are still in business because there is a new sucker born every day.

Big Rip Off
I live in Manhattan and go to many “upscale” restaurants but I was shocked by the prices at Nello. I took cousins there for lunch and the bill was almost $200 (before the tip) for 2 salads and 1 pasta. The salads consisted of 4 slices of beets and a small scoop of goat cheese with some greens. They were $27 each! One of the party had one glass of wine and we had bottled water (beware, the minute you sit down they come over with 2 large bottles of water and ask if you want sparkling or flat and then proceed to pour without asking if you’d prefer tap water). The prices on the menu are shocking. I’ll steer clear of this restaurant from now on and tell friends and family to do the same.

Shocked at the bill
We stopped in for a drink, sat outside and could barely get a waitress to pay attention to us. She suggested the special appetizer, carparcio with truffles. It weas not on the menu, we took her suggestion. A wine, a beer and the appetizer was $225! Stqay away, there are too many other great resturants in NYC that will treat you better and be more reasonable.

Scam!
The food is at the level of a dinner, but more expensive than any other 5 star restaurant in New York. The service is poor, the waiter with a smirk on his face appears only to tell you about the “specials” -a pasta with shaved truffle mushrooms with undisclosed price $275??!! Music is so loud you can’t hear yourself. Gratuity 20% is included even if it is 2 of you. Upon siting at the table they bring “ belinis” with a loud “ Salute!!” without anyone ordering them and then you get charged $20 for each. Place is a BIG SCAM!!

$250...for a pasta dish
So I went here for my birthday. All I have to say is — these reviews are correct. This place is just about as expensive as Per Se, and is MORE expensive per person than Daniel, Jean Georges, Le Bernadin, etc. The clincher, was the entree I ordered. The presented the special of the night as a pasta dish, with “summer” truffle or white truffle. The waiter recommended the white truffle (no kidding). The dish was OK but it was an appetizer sized portion. Then the bill came, the “White Truffle dish” was $250. For a SMALL dish of pasta. Save yourself.

“Then the bill came, the “White Truffle dish” was $250. For a SMALL dish of pasta”
I suppose Li’l Debbie Wasserman’s staff are unable to lunch at this restaurant due to the pittance they are paid ... O the Hugh manatee!
Nello Balan, owner of Nello, an Upper East Side restaurant (and favored Wall Street eatery), has sold a 4 pound, $95,000 white truffle to Russian billionaire Vladimir Potanin, according to the New York Post.
It may be the largest white truffle ever sold.
Bloomberg estimates Potanin’s net worth at around $13.5 billion. He is one of Russia’s super rich businessmen known as an “oligarchs” that control vast amounts of Russia’s natural resources.
Potanin’s wealth comes from nickel — he owns 30.4 percent owner of Norilsk Nickel, the world’s largest producer of the commodity.

To those who visit NYC: never, ever order bottled water. No cool person does that. NYC has excellent water - down from clean reservoirs in NY State. It’ll also save you a bundle.
LMAO
These degenerate marxist crooks can't afford that even at that muslim dykes salary.
HILLARY! must give her an allowance.
