Food was delicious! Chicken parm and steak to die for. Menu limited (in a good way), but there's something for everyone and the choice was not overwhelming. Service excellent. We had an early reservation for a party of six, and we stayed a LONG time without being hurried. I wish I lived closer so I could become a regular! Highly recommend!

Tonight we sat at the bar and had a lovely experience. Our Caesar/pastas/orange cake were delicious, as were our drinks - esp the elderflower spritz. But the point of this review is to praise our bartender - a beautiful, vibrant young woman with blonde hair. She noticed and anticipated everything throughout our meal and we really appreciated her warmth and kindness. She was also so professional toward the man seated next to us, who was a loudmouth from the moment he sat down. To give him the benefit of the doubt, maybe his way of engaging with the restaurant was to openly criticize the menu, and in his own mind, it was helpful/interesting. However, the way he asserted his opinions was quite obnoxious. Anyway, our server? CONSUMMATE PROFESSIONAL. She was not only polite, but engaged with him in such a gracious way and simultaneously never once implied that she agreed with any of his badmouthing of her place of work. Chef’s kiss. He even seemed to have left happy. We regret we didn’t catch her name but just wanted to say, we see you! Thank you for a fun night out, we will be back.

From the outside it does not look like much but inside it gives classy speak easy vibes. Great for a date night or going out to eat with friends. We enjoyed everything that we ordered and found the food both fresh and flavorful. The pasta melts in your mouth and the drinks were the perfect balance. The staff there is efficient and friendly. Will definitely be coming back!

Every meal I have here is better than the one before. The food and service are 10/10. This is a great place to celebrate a birthday or anniversary or just to enjoy a night out.

I went with my best friend for the Chinese New Year's menu and right from the beginning, I was impressed. The building is decorated beautifully and from start to finish, every dish on the menu I was not only excited to try, but amazed at how quickly I finished. Every member of the staff was not only exceedingly friendly and welcoming, but also knowledgeable and the perfect amount of attentive. Overall a great experience I can't wait to go back and try the regular menu. If you can do food this well that you only make once a year, I can't wait to see what you do with the other 364 days out of it. * Update:* Went back for another Chinese New Year dinner and was blown away again. The cocktails they came up with were unique and well thought out. The food was incredible, so impressive how they are able to create a menu for one night and mix Chinese and Italian in such a fluid way. The attention to detail was impeccable, down to the ice cubes with their logo on them to the Fortune cookie at end of the meal. Then to top it all off, I got to take home a pair of beautiful black and gold chopsticks.

The food was delicious and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. My first time there and is now one of my favorites. You can tell the freshness and quality ingredients. Will come back when I visit the area. I see now why you need reservations.

I went with a party of 4 to Nettie’s for the first time on a Saturday evening. We arrived early to enjoy a drink at the bar but we were seated within minutes. The entire staff was great but our server Kayenne was amazing. She was so friendly, answered all our questions and was not scripted. She was like talking to a friend you’ve had forever. The atmosphere was warm and very welcoming. The food was delicious a very homemade feel. Pasta is made there and the portions are perfect When we left we talked about definitely returning again.

This was my 3rd or 4th time eating at Nettie’s. Last night I brought my husband for the first time. Our server was Kailee and she suggested dishes, helped us with making decisions on what to eat and even shared with us some her very own favorites ! The service was top tier from the time we entered the door. The bussers make sure we had space for the over abundance of food we ordered and the runners got our food out on time! The crumbed was used on out table as well which kept our table feel neat at all times !! For appetizers we had the ceased salad and whipped ricotta and for our main we shared 1 in house made pasta (spinach fettuccini) and 1 other pasta (cacio pepe my ultimate favorite !!) paired with the sausage (one hot and one sweet), the steak (which is never pass on), and the broccoli rabe !! Everything was amazing ! Will always return to Nettie’s for great food !!
