Nerano

“Had to come and check this place out and let me tell you it didn't disappoint. Amazing for bring your partner on a first date or to have a lunch with office team. As someone that works in the industry being able to talk to Chef Sam, he also gave me inside about the dishes. I will be coming back not just because of the food but because of the amazing service.”

“I had lunch at Nerano several years ago and enjoyed it. I went back with a friend yesterday and was not disappointed. We both had pasta for lunch, which we both agreed was delicious. I had the Linguine Alla Nerano which was fantastic!!! The service was great and all the staff were friendly and polite. Will definitely go back again.”

“My wife and I decided to try Nerano after hearing about it on the news and from the moment we sat down, it was clear this place is something special. We began with the housemade focaccia and crispy provolone—both outstanding. Simple, thoughtful and deeply satisfying antipasti that set the tone for what followed. For our mains, we shared the artichoke ravioli, the Caesar salad and the paccheri salsa piccante. Every dish was beautifully balanced and full of character. The flavors were bold without being heavy, refined without feeling precious. Truly, we haven’t had Italian cuisine of this caliber since visiting Rome and Nerano absolutely stands shoulder to shoulder with that memory. The service deserves its own praise. Our sommelier was exceptionally knowledgeable and guided us to the perfect Chianti Classico Riserva, elevating the entire meal without ever feeling performative or rushed. We enjoyed it so much that we returned soon after with friends and somehow the experience surpassed the first visit. That kind of consistency is rare. Desserts sealed the evening—the panna cotta and tiramisu were exquisite, hitting every note you hope for and then some. The ambience is elevated yet warm, elegant without pretense. I could go on, but Nerano is best understood firsthand. A true hidden gem in Beverly Hills and yes—we already have reservations to return. Highly recommended.”

“Nerano was an average dinner. Went fairly early so no one was at the restaurant which was a nice setting. The atmosphere and decor of the restaurant are quite nice. Really good if you’re trying to have a special meal. The food was ok. I wasn’t blown away by any particular dish. We ordered the eggplant, sun dried tomato focaccia bread, and the mushroom pappardelle. It was solid. Not blown away but an okay meal. I do think for the price I wish it was more impactful but all good.”

“This is a pretty good Italian place, but nothing special. The calamari was nice and crispy, the pizza had a good chew, and the meat sauce was delicious. If you have a craving for Italian food and are in the area, hit this place up. Definitely a bit pricey, but what isn’t these days?”
