Em’s star rating

Nando serves Italian comfort food that hits the spot. From meatballs della nonna and eggplant parmigiana to pasta aglio e olio, broccoletto with burrata and pancetta, and the pizza Nando, everything feels generous and full of flavour.

Fun fact

At Nando, every dish is inspired by recipes that Italian nonna (grandmother) would approve, the team even says their food is made to feel like you’re sitting at her table, served with warmth and tradition rather than just plated up.
