    First time here, and we will definitely be back. Beautiful spot by the river, and outstanding food! Our server was great as well; just a bit slow to start with, but I'm sure not her fault. Thank you!

    This was our first time dining at Nostrana. We had tickets to a concert at Revolution Hall that evening and had decided to have a light dinner beforehand, so we made a reservation. We were politely greeted and shown to our table. We found the restaurant to be attractive and upscale, yet it felt comfortable and welcoming. Our server, Ben, was pleasant, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout our visit. Our drink and food orders all arrived within a reasonable time. We really enjoyed the radicchio salad -- it's a standout. We're fans of wood-fired pizza, and we were very pleased with the fresh flavors of the mozzarella cheese and the tomato sauce, as well as the delicious pizza crust. All in all, our visit was delightful. We look forward to returning to try other items on the menu.

    Absolutely delicious food and wine - and best service. So fun to experience Georgian cuisine. We live in Portland, but learned about this gem from my nephew's girlfriend. I couldn't quit thinking about the unique and yummy food photos my sister sent. We went for our anniversary and had the best dinner. The owner was so helpful in explaining the menu and letting me try wine before selecting a bottle. I loved the beautiful atmosphere and easy parking. We will definitely be back and bring friends!
