    Our cocktails were just ok, but everything else was delicious. My “special” crab and shrimp bisque was very good. My husband’s Caesar Salad was very good. We both had Veal Parmesan with spaghetti for dinner. The veal was very tender and the sauce was delicious. Our server was attentive and very pleasant. We have been to Nonna’s Cucina several times since it opened and we always have a lovely dining experience!
