Profile

Welcome to spillover central, where this strategically located corner spot benefits from the hordes shut out from more fashionable Meatpacking neighbors like Pastis, Sascha, and Spice Market. You can snag a sidewalk table if you want a front row view of the other scenes, or join the young daters and gaggles of high-heeled and haltered girls in the familiar, faux-Tuscan farmhouse interior. Candlelight throws a flattering glow not only on patrons; it also sexes up the simple décor of exposed brick, sturdy wooden tables, beamed ceilings, and wine bottles stacked anywhere they'll fit. The menu offers few surprises—all the better not to distract from the preponderance of people-watching. Polpettini, marble-sized meatballs, are well made and come in a mushroom sauce instead of the typical tomato bath; and a hearty porcini, brandy, and Roquefort dipping sauce accompanies a sliced, rosy tagliata steak, although the tender meat is tasty on its own. The rice in zucchini and shrimp risotto, however, can be a bit undercooked and pastry puffs filled with pistachio cream suffer from sogginess. Still, an extensive and affordable wine list leaves the crowd feeling they could have done a lot worse, especially for simply stumbling in.

Brunch

Sat.—Sun., noon—4 p.m., $24.95. Includes unlimited Champagne, Bellinis, mimosas, or a choice of Bloody Mary or screwdriver, and a broad selection of eggs, panini, pasta, and salads.

Prix-Fixe Lunch
Mon.—Fri., noon—4 p.m., $14

Do not bother with this establishment that encourages the treatment of its customers to be handled with arrogance, apathy and provocation to "take it outside" to sort it out. The music was DEAFENING and a simple request to turn it down a bit (from more than the people in my party) was answered by the manager with, "This is our CONCEPT, I can not do anything about it". And then mocking followed from the staff and DJs. The music got louder and we had to yell to be heard and ironically the manager asked, "why are you yelling at me?." If decency did not rule my general behavior I would have pummeled him him right there. If your concept of Sunday Brunch is an absolute waste of time and you want to be irritated beyond reason while eating very average food, Nero is perfect for you.
