nido pasta bar

we decided to eat at this restaurant after seeing lauren cook on master chef and given the title of pasta queen. i thought this would be a wonderful meal i was so excited about eating here but the experience was terrible. firstly we had booked a table (a month ago) instead was told to sit on the bench and perhaps wait until something thing come up. we waited a while and watched others been taken to the tables but nothing was offered to us. ok, so we moved on from that and decided to order entree we opted for honey ricotta and that’s exactly what we got whipped ricotta and honey and fried bread very boring and nothing special. for mains we ordered 2x pasta tagliatelle with pepper it was uneatable, the pasta was raw and the dish inconsistent one had sauce and the other no sauce and one was full of pepper and not much else. lauren if you want to succeed in the world of fine dining you actually have to put in an effort and serve good food. i’m not sure how you ever got on masterchef, you really need to smarten up. your staff where pretentious and clueless about what they were serving. your prices are ridiculously over priced and your wine menu was weak. i will never again eat at your restaurant and nor will i recommend it to anyone. i couldn’t even you a star rating as our experience was dreadful.extremelydisappointing.

its a shame i cant rate nido 1/2 a star as that’s what was deserving of our experience. meals were very disappointing and underwhelming. we went for the ‘feed me option’ and left feelingextremelyripped off. entrees were enjoyable (albiet a couple of us found the soldiers burnt), pasta was undercooked (and i dont mean al dente!), fish was bland- absolutely no flavour, and we coudnt get past one spoonful of the desert as it was awful. quality of dishes served were not to the standard expected at prices charged and quantity of servings was not on par with other fine dining restaurants. overpriced, overrated and will definitely not be returning.

nido was an absolute highlight of our adelaide stop! a beautiful cosy atmosphere, we were seated at the kitchen bar where we could observe the chefs creating their dishes and delivering their craft. laura & co. wereextremelyhelpful with our menu choices. the pasta were absolutely stunning and the best i’ve had in australia. the cooking was hearty and authentic. the prices are low for the high quality product received and the customer service was top notch. a must do for anyone travelling through or living in adelaide.
