Nello's Place Italian Restaurant
Nello's Place
A family-run, old-school Italian dinner spot opened in 1982, known for its tableside Caesar salad and Steak Diane.
Nello's Place was founded in 1982 by Nello Melie and is still run by his family. It sits in an unassuming commercial strip on Bechelli Lane in southern Redding. Red leather booths, white tablecloths, and dim lighting give it the feel of an old-school Italian restaurant, and servers prepare the Caesar salad and desserts tableside. Full dinners are generous, including an appetizer, salad, and a small portion of pasta. It is a popular choice for locals' anniversaries, dates, and business dinners, so reservations are recommended. The average spend per person is about $40–60, and driving is required to get there.
