Love going to Nebbiolo. Always get excellent service by Nick and the food and cocktails are outstanding. We reserved the special table in the wine area for an out-of-town guest. They even put a white tablecloth on it for us (not standard for the overall tables in the restaurant). Great new fall menu with so many wonderful food and drink options.

Very comfortable setting. The “international” range of tapas offered good choices. Hummus, calamari, and steak chimmichuri were excellent. Wines by the glass were good value.
