Gnocchi, bolognese, & drinks were all fantastic. The burrata was a perfect flavorful app. Dessert was delicious too. Amazing like all Cunningham restaurants. Will be back!

Our first time dining at Nesso and we were not disappointed! Our server was very friendly and helpful in giving recommendations from the menu. The octopus and burrata were both yummy dishes to start. The scallops were absolute perfection!! Would highly recommend!!

My husband and I recently had a stellar dinner at Nesso. The environment was beautiful and comfortable. The service was flawless with a great flow - we didn’t feel rushed or forgotten and were in that sweet spot of perfect attention. And the food was incredible. My favorite was the burratta appetizer with roasted baby heirloom tomatoes. It was honestly the best thing I’ve eaten in a couple years, as the flavors of the tomatoes, burratta, pesto and candied balsamic onions blended in a perfectly balanced symphony of deliciousness. Everything was delicious, and my scallops were perfectly cooked, which was a real treat here in landlocked Indiana. Finally, they comped my husband’s dessert in celebration of his birthday, which was a classy move. What a great night!

Went to dinner tonight June 19th 2025...We were in Indy for a trade show and had dinner at some of Indy’s iconic restaurants. Without a doubt this was above and beyond any place we ate at this week. Great restaurant, great service, and the food...WOW. I cannot say enough about the food, the Parmesan Cauliflower, Burrata Salad...so good! My entree Casio e Pepe was the BEST I have ever had. The evening ended with Pistachio Gelato and it too was homemade like the pasta. It was the best gelato I have ever had. Truly an amazing dining experience, I cannot wait to come back. I live in Atlanta and I would make a trip out to Indy just for this restaurant!!!

WOW. This place blew my expectations out of the water. Their bread was fluffy and baked to perfection. Their special today was an oxtail raviola that was simple yet layered with flavors. But their shining star has to be their linguine Nesso. Rich, hearty, with just the right amount of spice and a generous amount of seafood, this dish came to play. The pasta was to die for and one could easily split it between two. I can’t wait to return to see what offerings they have next!

As someone who is a little bit skeptical of the food scene at Indianapolis, I was pleasantly surprised by this Italian restaurant in the heart of downtown. Not only was the service great, the spritz collection vast, and the menu diverse of surf and turf options- The Italian dishes were rich and delicious in a nuanced way compared to other Italian places I’ve been to. Honestly, me and my coworkers were surprised by just how good the food was for being an Italian place. Nowadays, it feels that the Italian category is overplayed and derivative, if not just lacking- however, it felt that Nesso definitely was an Italian restaurant that really knew what they were doing, and the food was telling of their experience and quality. I would definitely come back next time I’m in town for work. I really enjoyed my linguini Nero, everybody was packed with flavor and they didn’t skimp on the seafood. The lemon ricotta donuts were also a table hit, tiramisu did not miss, and the pistachio gelato was a plenty for only five dollars.

This is a lovely upscale Italian restaurant that initially caught my eye as we drove by. We were in town for a Fever game and picked Nesso for dinner. Unfortunately, I have to give 2 strikes against this place- - I ordered a white wine, but was served a rose - my 54 sea bass dinner was literally served with a SINGLE fingerling potato thinly sliced The food was well prepared, and my family enjoyed their meals of fresh pasta dishes but I left HUNGRY. Why only ONE tiny potato to accompany my fish fillet? So, just a heads up that you might want to pick another restaurant if you're feeling hungry! Otherwise, a great place- enjoy!

My brother and myself had dinner tonight outside on the patio. From the moment we walked in the door to the departure Nesso and the team at Nesso delivered. Our server Danny was fantastic. His course service was spot on. His timing and table contact was precise. The manager/ Somalia (Roddy) had wine recommendations and knowledge that lead me to two great wines. The wine list is really good, from all regions in Italy. Meatballs Burrata Chicken tortellini Truffle gnocchi Olive oil cake Everything was A1
