The restaurant was beautiful, food was great I just think our waiter may have been new. Everyone who walked in immediately got bread at the table we didn't even after informing the waiter. I ended up having to ask another waiter who was great and apologized. We had to ask other waiters for things more than once-Our waiter though very polite just seemed a little confused, but I will definitely go back food was great

Food, service, and atmosphere were excellent. This is a good place for a special occasion. Portions are small to average sized so you might need to order appetizers to start if you have a large appetite. This restaurant has a range of prices for entrees so if cost is an issue you will be able to find an entree that suits your budget. Desserts were very expensive and drinks were somewhat pricey also.

Wonderful as always! We had home made pastas with seafood ( fusilloni Pescatore and Vongole)the best branzino I ever had and chicken coated in parmesano with artichokes and ham in a lemon sauce. Affogatos for dessert. Service was impeccable. Our waiter was so knowledgeable and nice. Its why we keep going Year after year, and always bringing friends along.

I had the pachera. Came with rigatoni that was Al dente just perfect. But the lobster sauce was too light for a heavy pasta. Service was pleasant, as always, there was a large private function that was quite loud. Made discussion at our table a bit of a chore for the first 25-30 minutes. Don’t get me wrong. I really like La Nonna and the people. I’m a regular. Just less wonderful this time. Nobody’s perfect!

Came here to have a birthday dinner. Unfortunately, I brought my own cake and it got ruined because my husband placed it in the trunk. The host told me that they will try their best to reassemble the cake. I must say that although the cake still looked messed up, they tried their best, and that was greatly appreciated it. Food was amazing. I loved the appetizers and their cocktail drinks were really good. Will come back, but without my own cake.

The inside was beautiful. We had a table outside which the decor is terrible. A little attention to it could do wonders. Like candles, etc. the waiter was probably one of the rudest waiters I have ever had. He acted like he was doing us a favor by serving us and throwing things in the table. We were left for a long time and it took about 25 minutes to get a glass of wine

Average-above average Italian restaurant. I had brazino, other diners had chicken parm and a shrimp pasta. The noise level is extremely loud, typical these days. We sat outside the main dining room and avoided that. However, the table was metal, without tablecloth.

Service was awful. Waited 25 minutes to be seated with a reservation and over an hour to get appetizers. The host is constantly screaming at delivery drivers waiting to pick up orders in the entrance which really kills the mood. The food is good but will probably only order takeout in the future due their mismanagement of the restaurant and poor service.

What an amazing place. The restaurant is beautifully adorned and excellent for a romantic dinner for two with candles burning around the restaurant. The variety of appetizers and mains afford something for everyone. The is a great assortment of creative salads. We had the grilled octopus appetizer along with the waygu meatball with truffle sauce. They were fantastic. I had the osso bucco which was one of the best I’ve had anywhere. My wife has the skirt steak that was perfectly prepared and fairly large. The desserts were awesome. Try the affogato and the ricotta cheesecake - just delicious. We can’t wait to get back to try a few other dishes. You will not be disappointed.

Honestly, it was a nice looking place; however, the food was mediocre at best. We were sat at a table that wobbled so bad that the water was spilled from the glasses each time it wobbled. The food was mediocre. Rissoto was decent as the veal was heavily over cooked and dry. The pasta was lacking in flavor and the sausage was the best part of the pasta dish. The waiter barely attended to us at all. We would have to flag him down to even ask to put in our order. It took about 1.5 hours after we were seated to officially begin a meal. It was lackluster in service and a bit disappointing. Overall, we would not return.
