What a difference a year makes. While we weren't impressed with our previous experience at Nello's, my very pregnant wife heard a rumor that the house salad dressing has the right combinations of spices that are actually known to put women into labor. The restaurant is aware of this rumor, the manager says she's been told several times that it does the trick, but spoiler alert... it did not do it for my wife. However; the house salad dressing (and the garden salad) is awesome.
The waiter also recommended the buffalo wings with Nello's own sauce. The sauce is just a tad spicy (another alleged labor inducer), but not hot enough to ward off those who don't like hot flavors. Even after eating an obnoxious amount of food, I had to finish off the plate, the wings were that delicious. We also split a chicken parmigiana sandwich which was quite good.
Oddly enough, skipping out on what Nello's is known for, the pizza, really changed our perception of the place. Nello's still has a $30 for $15 gift certificate on Local Dines (http://www.localdines.com/phoenix?ref=19485) which is always a great way to save cash on the meal. We're looking forward to our next trip. Which will most likely be with the baby that the salad dressing did not help come out already.
