| - Il Nido means "the nest" in Italian, and that's pretty much the size of the place.
We live across the street and have been here a bunch of times, but now that we have a 1 year old boy who enjoys throwing more food than eating it, we tend to stick with take-out rather than enjoying the time in the place.
When we did frequent, we got a chance to chat with the owner, who is a sweet little ole lady who literally came to America from Italy to open a restaurant with her son. I'm not 100% sure the son still works there (we got the story a few years ago) but the sweet ole lady still does, and man, will she chew your ear off!
The food is good, the pizza is a great value. The menu changes quite a bit to reflect fresh ingredients, always a good sign. The wine selection is okay, lots of Italian wine, which is preferable in a place like this, frankly.
The best thing in my mind about Il Nido is the atmosphere. It's a local, one-of-a-kind place, that is built for families to frequent. Don't bring 10 people here, you'll hate it, but if your immediate family of 5 wants a great time, good food, and drinks - and don't mind a little ole Italian lady chatting the night away with you - Il Nido is a great choice.
