Sitting inside the restaurant while posting this. We randomly entered since we were looking for a vegetarian friendly restaurant to eat. The vibe and the service made our day!!!I would rate this as one of the best and most friendly places in DC for sure. The food was so so good!! Also the review would be incomplete without a shoutout to Becca for being the most friendly and humble human being i have ever come across
Always a pleasant time whenever going. The staff are super friendly and attentive. Food and drinks are great too. Theyve earned a new regular. This place is a go-to for a relaxed time to blow off steam and chill. Strongly recommend. Shout out to Becca for the great service!
Couldnt love Nero more! Delicious cocktails, outstanding food (simple, tasty, but still elegant!) and phenomenal customer service by management and staff. The ambiance is warm, comfortable and modern: great for a special occasion or just for when youre looking for a swanky hang. Cannot WAIT to go back!
The staff is great! Everyone is very friendly and adequately masked. Though its a limited menu during covid, the available food and drinks are very well made. I look forward to trying the wine vending selection and the Indian dish offerings when things fully reopen!
Popped in walking by and enjoyed every min. Service was incredible. Dining was outstanding. Will definitely suggest having a meal here. We will be returning !!
We made a reservation ahead of time for outdoor seating ( bc Covid) but when we got there they told us they didn’t have a table for us. We offered to wait and they refused to seat us at all.
Nero is great inside as it is its patio...great service (Becka is the best) and the most delicious pizza selection. If you want to relax and have a great time with friends, this is the place.
Nice option for summer nights. The cheese and meat boards are awesome.
Great place and small plates for sharing, and very good service.
We arrived just before happy hour ended. Ordered a round of drinks and apps off the happy hour menu, then stayed for several hours. Great ambience, great music, and very chill lounge in the back. However, when we received our check we were charged full price for our first round and apps, which were ordered during happy hour. Waitress was not helpful in fixing this and rather than argue we just paid. Bummer because it was otherwise a really great spot.
Food is excellent. Love the fries and pizza. The first time I had an old fashioned here it was incredible--it was called blood orange smoked old fashioned or something and it was amazing. The second time wasnt that great but more typical of old fashioned cocktails in most places, not worth $15.
It is a great hideaway. The bar looks like an underground speakeasy. There is good specials for the happy hour. The decoration and atmosphere are great. There are a lot of wines on tap, and tons of other drinks.
Stopped in for drinks at happy hour. Friendly bartenders. I enjoyed the atmosphere a great deal. Interesting decor and a great playlist. Limited selections on the happy hour menu, but what they did have was decent enough.
What a wonderful little bar! Had a great experience. Definitely worth hitting up before the clubs get rolling.
Small place and I dont like crowded places like that. The back of Nero had space to dance and was pretty decent. The staff though are awesome people. No attitudes and they always had a smile on their faces and even made quick small talk. Very nice environment though. Its not a place I would go to due to the size, however if there is an event happening there that I want to attend, I wont hesitate to attend. Definitely a more friendly place then Dirty Martini staff was.
Very lovely place nice food, romantic vibes but only order pizza if you are hungry., All other plates are very small. Tasty but small.
Staff was incredibly sweet while also bring extremely efficient on a busy night with a private event. Cocktails were great. Fried brussel sprouts were wonderful. (I happily ate the entire plate by myself). 10/10 would recommend.
Lot’s of energy!!! Fantastic cocktails, 20+ variety of red and white wines in wine vending machine. Great for wine tasting!!! good selection of appetizers and interesting dinner menu a blend of Italian American flavors... loved their mushroom truffle pizza! Old fashioned is pretty good!
Great food, mostly good selection, although they had run out of two of my partys first choices. Service was good but a little on the slow side. Will definitely return.
Went for happy hour and our party was served by Red, who was attentive and just plain awesome. The pizza here is legit, with a crust that still makes my mouth water. The lamb samosas and truffle fries were also a hit. The cocktails were tasty and priced right. Well be back for more of that 24-hour aged crust!
First time visit NERO and it was really good for me it was not like a club. However you can dance like next to the bar and have a drink and in the back is seating area with tables and chairs very chill and the vibes are amazing. I will be coming back in the future. Stay cool Nero
The pizza was amazing! Cherries on pizza, who knew, but it absolutely works! Also, great wine at affordable prices. Its like an arcade with the claw game, without the claw, and you always win the wine. I loved it.
Great wine selection (buy a wine card and try whatever you like!) And great pizza/Italian bites. Relaxed, laid-back vibe where you can hear people talk, though it does get clubby later at night on weekends. Good happy hour deals!
If you can handle small, tight spaces, but love good atmosphere, friendly service, and tasty food & beverage, give Nero a visit.
Upscale, exclusive-feeling neighborhood bar in DC that serves a variety of delicious Pinot Noir wine varieties. Look forward to visiting again sometime soon!
Great new trendy Dupont Circle restaurant. Small menu but absolutely on point. It’s dark and cozy, in my opinion the perfect spot for a date. Great wine selection and decent beer selection as well. The Brussels sprouts, truffle fries, and mushroom pizza were fantastic. My new number one date spot in Dupont.
The DOPEST spot in Dupont! Katherine is an absolute gem, the food the WINE, absolutely spot on. I had the Fried Mozzarella and the Truffle Fries, all absolutely delicious. I am now a regular. And being a history buff, this place is named after one of the most infamous Roman Emporers that ever reigned, right next to Caligula!!! This place is dope!!!
Great atmosphere and decore. I was suggested Livias lust martini and it didnt disipoint!
Cool cozy club joint with a DJ. Passed by on a Saturday. Quick bar service also.
The bartender Red provided excellent customer service. The drinks were great and a good location in DuPont Circle.
MY NEW FAVORITE SPOT! I was walking past and noticed it for the first time. Jonas was very friendly and knowledgeable about his spirits and took great care of our group. Try the samosas!
Good wine and beer variety. Super friendly helpful and knowledgeable staff.
Excellent venue for drinks, dinner, or a quick snack. Jonas, Cat, and the rest of the staff are quick and friendly. Upscale feel but the food and drinks are both great value. Will definitely be back soon for more!
Service was amazing. Fries was the best.
Got here Saturday night, still somewhat early, talking about 11ish, and decided to come in because everywhere else had a long line. I was very pleased especially with the bartender. I dont remember her name but she was nice and very responsive. Will go back again.
I love Nero. It’s a nice place where you can relax and try a variety of craft coctails. Their chicken samosas are great. Staff is nice and friendly.
Great place for drinks
NERO serves all your Italian desires in DuPont Circle. Between a wonderfully friendly staff, an unbeatable bohemian atmosphere, and food thatll knock your tongue right out of your head, there are few comparable choices for lunchtime goodness. The panino is especially recommended for you meat lovers out there, but any pizza is also an excellent choice.
Really fun dinner date spot. Lively, great food (get the Tandoori pops), and solid wine selection.
Great food, great drinks, best bar and lounge in DuPont circle!
Sat at bar for almost 15 mins and not a single person walked up to us. It wasnt even crowded. We left after 16 minutes.
Nice bar. I enjoyed my visit
Dont be intimidated by the lights. Great place if theres space. Music is a little loud but easy to drink through.
Nice place, good food but noisy and tiny table to try to eat on.
DONT GO THERE. JONAS THE BARTENDER WILL CHARGE YOU $73.00 FOR THREE SHOTS OF TULLAMORE DEW THAT COSTS ONLY $12 EVERYWHERE ELSE. DID NOT WANT TO ARGUE WITH HIM BUT WILL DEF GET MY MONEY BACK. ZERO(0) FOR THIS ESTABLISHMENT. CALLED VIC TO SETTLE ISSUE BUT NOTHING WAS DONE
Nice atmosphere and great music. Great place for a date or ladies night.
All the staff is really great and it is really clean and pretty in here, not as crowded as next doorAnita and Lindsey are the best!!!!
They lit my drink on fire
Great bar! Lost my phone and the manager even let me borrow his phone to call one of my friends
Delicious drinks and cozy atmosphere.
