Nando is a treat from beginning to end. We ended up stumbling upon it as we were waiting for another reservation that never came to be. They were able to sit our group of 5 rather quickly. We had meatballs and calamari to start. Both were delicious, especially the calamari which had this sweet and sour type of taste to it. Delicious. My main dish was the scialatelli frutti di mare. Squid ink pasta covered in a seafood dream of mussels, clams, shrimp, so good! Will definitely be back

We saw empty seats at the bar and wanted to get an Italian dinner before the game, and we were very happy with the food, service, experience. The bartender was attentive, gave great suggestions, and made sure to get the order going quickly! The beet salad was awesome!! We had the swordfish and chicken parm for mains and both enjoyed our dishes a lot!

While Nando's does a great job accommodating gluten free... Pro tip if you show up with 2 out of 3 people gluten free, you get an entire serving of the bread to yourself and it is mind meltingly delicious.

This place was amazing. We had the best calamari I've ever eaten, it had a sweet orangy flavor. Then i had the veal chop punded thin with a home made bread crumbs crust made from the in his bread sticks, came with probably the best risotto I've ever had as well. The owner Sal was a fantastic host.

My husband & I had a wonderful meal at Nando, from the hostess to our servers, all super helpful & attentive. Even though there was a line to get in we never felt rushed. The meals we had were delicious. Our new favorite restaurant in the North End.
