Last night, I had an incredible dining experience at Osteria Nonnino. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, setting the perfect tone for the evening. The service was top tier, friendly and genuinely welcoming. I ordered the chicken parm, and it was absolutely outstanding! It was fresh, flavorful and cooked to perfection. But the real highlight was The Tiramisu. They prepare it right in front of you which adds an extra touch of magic to the experience. It was hands down one of the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommend this spot, and I’m definitely coming back!
