The food was delicious but portions were amazingly small. Plus they seemed to be very understaffed and made us and several other clients wait while empty tables were plainly visible. Dinner service was very peculiar with several couples that were seated after us getting their food before us.

We came upon Nero's on the Monday night of our Spring Break. We tried five restaurants before this one, but all were closed, so we didn't have much of a choice. Though some of my food was great, others not so much. For example, the pizza crust was way too thick and the pizza itself burned. I ordered the lemonade... More

On a recent visit to Cortez we returned again to Nero's for dinner. It was a busy Saturday night but we had only a short wait for a free table. The food as others have attested is consistently good and there is a reasonable selection to choose from the wine list. Our group enjoyed the chicken, pastas and meat selections... More

Had the pleasure of dining with 7 other people and we all ordered different entrees so we had the opportunity to taste different selections, everything was top notch, I had the black cod with pasta fajoles, which the chef described as flaky yet creamy and he was right on, the pasta could have been a meal in itself. The service... More

And I see someone has posted a photo of it. Two others in our group ordered it and both gave it a rave. Salad, entree, a glass of wine, and tip came to $22. Trust me, it's worth standing in line for.

I would be glad to recommend Nero's,though not traditional Italian. Entrees run $15-$23. The mushroom ravioli was tasty.

In general, we have been disappointed with the restaurants in the four corners region. But we tried Nero's because it got so many rave reviews. Add us to the long list of fans. Great food in a delightful (small) setting with capable service and good value. My wife loved her mushroom ravioli and my Italian stroganoff was as good as... More

Food is great, but menu is limited. Everything is good though so the limited menu is not a problem. Limited seating and reservations are recommended.

We went on a Sunday night, and had the lovely patio all to ourselves. Our server was great--prompt, fun and knowledgeable. All the food was enjoyed--especially the green chile chicken soup. The Italian margarita was better than I make myself...a real compliment!
