Nellos Place - Redding (CA)

5 /5 Distant Dreams: I was looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate my boyfriends birthday and our engagement while in Redding and heard of this place. I have to say I was more than happy with the choice. We ordered a chicken piccata, chicken marsala, and chicken Alfredo with a Caesar salad. Everything was delicious. We were gifted 2 complimentary cheesecakes to celebrate. They were THE BEST cheesecakes Ive ever had. 1000% recommend for a romantic evening. And they give you ROSES at the end of your dinner!

5 /5 Chase Munson: Excellent food/service, and very friendly staff. I appreciate their effort for quality. The lighting and atmosphere was comfy and romantic. Me and my wife spent our three year wedding anniversary here and enjoyed every minute. I even made the mistake of thinking I left my wallet at the table the night before. I came the next day and explained my situation to them. They looked everywhere and noted my phone number. The owner was even there and also made a personal phone call for me to their cleaning service in case it was lost in their tablecloth linens. They did tell me that they do have a solid set up for missing items and it would have ended up there. I later realized I just misplaced my wallet at home. I was really impressed and deeply appreciated all the service they provided. I will definitely come here again. Thank you Nellos!

4 /5 Jimmy: The Place That Sparked It All. This place is the place that got me started on my reviews. 11 years ago. We came back to where it all began. Nello’s helped start the fire—so tonight wasn’t just dinner, it was a full-circle moment. The bread? Soft and crisp. The prosciutto and melon? A little gamey, but good. The chicken piccata was lemony perfection. The alfredo? Creamy, grilled just right—solid 4.5, maybe even 5. Even the salad held its own. The antipasto lost us with tuna juice bleeding across the plate. Wine list wasn’t offered—we had to ask. They didn’t have my wife’s choice, subbed it with Cupcake Moscato, then charged $11 a glass for a $9 bottle. But the service was otherwise tight. Drinks never went dry. Course progression? Elegant. And just when we thought the old-school charm might carry it through… The illusion fell when the check came. Overall not too bad. Might go back may not who knows.
