NILO RESTAURANT - Danville, California

We came here for soup because my kid is wearing braces, but they don’t have any soup. The pasta is very plain, the garlic bread is burned. And there is black stuff floating in the water. Very disappointed!

Enjoyed our meal a lot. Great pasta, tiramisu coffee. Reasonable prices.

My girlfriend and I found Nilo Restaurant after visiting the Blackhawk Museum. We had the Bruschetta for our appetizer. Then we shared the Pear and Gorgonzola Salad along with the Meat Calzone. We were very surprised with how delicious, fresh, and authentic the food was. We had the Tiramisu for dessert. I recommend all these items. We did not order any drinks.

The burger was raw and undercooked, but they refused to take it out of my bill. The only reasoning was that I can always ask to cook it more, which I obviously wouldn’t do because I have already eaten some of it’s undercooked parts

The food was absolutely terrible. The garlic bread was just flat bread with cheese. No garlic. The pesto has something in it that tasted like blueberry muffins. We asked about this, and our server said they were "trying something new." On the way home, my mouth and my son’s mouth felt swollen and raw. We both had pesto. Never going back.

I had a great shrimp pasta. The owner/manager was on point and treated me great during my midafternoon attendance. The plaza area is full of ducks and geese. It was cleaner than I expected with that many birds but the water could use some filtering and aeration. But that’s beyond the restaurants job. I noted how pleasant the patio setting was and how varied the menu was. I would return here without question.

Went to Nilo's about a mont ago after my wife raved about the lunch she had there, so we came for dinner. We both had the seafood pasta, the special of the day. There was plenty of seafood (prawns, calamari, scallops and fish). Great flavor and all of the seafood was cooked perfectly.
For dessert my wife had the tiramisu and I had the mango mousse. My mousse was light and tasty. My wife said that the tiramisu was the best she has had and talked about it all the way home.
The owner, Kayvon, was personable and a wonderful host. Nilo's has become our new favorite restaurant, so much so that we had to get a gift certificate to give to a friend so that they could experience this wonderful restaurant.

We won’t be back. There were no people, and there was a reason for that.

My daughter ordered a kid’s burger. She didn’t finish it when she normally does. I haven’t asked her yet, but I guess it wasn’t the best. It turned out there was supposed to be soda or milk included but the server never even mentioned it.

I ordered a spicy chicken sandwich. I love spicy food. But it was plain spicy, I couldn’t feel any other tastes of it much if there were any. Just burning hot, that’s it. I also asked for a decaf latte, but they forgot about it completely. Well, at least it wasn’t included in the bill.

And the worst of all, my husband got a raw burger. He realized there was something wrong by the time the half of it was gone. It was not cooked rare, there were raw meat bits inside. They suggested to replace it, but refused to take it off the bill. We had an overtired toddler with us, so no time to wait for another burger or latte.

The location is nice though, but I believe there’re much better places to eat.
