Large assortment of cocktail suggestions. We sampled many over the 2 hour meal! Tried a variety of dishes from apps to soups and salads, to pastas, and finally the much touted, homemade tiramisu. Everything was terrific. Can't wait to return and sit outside when it isn't raining!

Nidos was a former long time family favorite so we had high hopes of a positive experience. However our entire party was left shocked at the lack of costumer service and communication. Our waitress was negative and seemed like she didnt enjoy her job. When she saw we had children at our table, she seemed annoyed. She made a few comments throughout dinner that left my family speechless. My party of 8 was crammed at a small table in tight quarters. Meanwhile, I had called twice prior to leading up to the evening asking if they could accommodate my large party and they said if we came at 5 they could. We arrived a little earlier than 5 just to be sure we were early but were still crammed into a small table in a small dining room with no apology. On top of this, we were charged a hefty fee to cut my fathers cake. Being in a family who runs and operates over 35 restaurants, we know the importance of loyal customer service and willingness to work with families, especially in joyous moments like celebrations. Luckily, we felt the food was delicious but out overall experience was tainted and we will not be recommending or returning.

After a delicious meal, the waiter boxed my patents' leftovers and brought a complimentary bottle of prosecco for us. Themanager and the owner took the time to congratulate my parents personally and ask for their secret to success all those years!It was a very special occasion and much appreciated. The restaurant was beautifully decorated with a very nice patio area and ahuge mural uniting Italian landscapes and local Frederick landmarks. An excellent experience for us! Thank you, Cucina Massi??

Being a member of one of the preeminent restaurant families in the area, Massimo absolutely knows what he is doing both in the back and front of the house. We had to wait about an hour but it was not a problem as thereis much to do in the area while waiting. We found a very cool little cocktail joint called the 10th Ward and hung out thereuntil they called us for our table. Check out the size of the chicken parm with eggplant. It could have fed our table of 4alone. Looking forward to our next visit!
