"After a split with a Downtown business partner, chefs Marcos Spaziani (Below Deck) and Louis Huh are on track to open a reservation-only project called Lou’Mar upstairs at Nerano, with the first night of service expected in about a month." - Farley Elliott
"For a rare daytime visit to the Beverly Hills spot, owners Andy and Carlo Brandon-Gordon are hosting a drag brunch on June 11 from noon to 2:30 p.m. featuring Amalfi coast–style dishes and cocktails; the restaurant isn’t normally open for brunch, so this presents a limited chance to experience Nerano during the day and reservations are available." - Matthew Kang
"Reopening for dining in Beverly Hills today, BG—Nerano is an old-school-esque second-floor restaurant created by Andy Brandon-Gordon and Carlo Brandon-Gordon as a nod to mid-20th-century Italian-American spots; it features dark lighting, table lights, a casual atmosphere, and is open every Friday and Saturday from 5 p.m. to 10:30 p.m." - Mona Holmes
"An intimate Beverly Hills lounge above Nerano (9960 Santa Monica Boulevard) is reopening under incoming bartender James Estes on Friday, February 18; expect classic cocktails and inventive twists that complement chef Michele Lisi’s Italian‑American menu, with approachable favorites ranging from chicken parm to fettuccini alfredo." - Farley Elliott
"A touch of the Amalfi Coast right on Santa Monica Boulevard? That’s the idea behind this stylish restaurant from owners Andy Brandon-Gordon and Carlo Brandon-Gordon, whose travels to the Italian coast provided inspiration. Authentic touches from executive chef Michele Lisi, a Puglia native, pepper the menu — everything from spaghetti alla Nerano to crispy pizzas from a wood-burning oven. Despite the ode to Italy, the produce is SoCal local, as is the artwork on the walls. A drink in the swank upstairs BG Lounge is a must before or after a meal." - Marcy Franklin
