   We went on a Thursday which is Gnocchi night, the gnocchi was pillowy soft and amazing! The bread was really delicious as was the olive oil it was served with. If the salad dressing for the radicchio salad was sold by itself I would buy it! The grilled beef was nothing special, and the sides would be a skip on future visits.

   Delicious as always. Celebrated a birthday at the Chef's Counter, the best seat in the house! Also took advantage of Wine Wednesday with 25% off bottles of wine. Great experience in every way.

   This was my second time dining here—the first visit was amazing! The food was unforgettable and the service was warm and attentive, so I was genuinely excited to return for my anniversary. The food this time? Still incredible -- authentic Italian that truly transported us straight to Italy! But sadly, the service didn’t live up to our first experience. It felt unwelcoming, which was disappointing, especially for a special occasion. What made it more frustrating was the automatic 22% gratuity added to the bill. While I understand the policy, that level of tip should come with service that creates a good experience.

   Great food and service. Restaurant was a bit nosey this evening due to a family celebration. The staff re-seated us to a quieter area of the restaurant. We greatly appreciated this.

   Nostrana was absolutely amazing! The food was to die for. I have never liked trout, my wife tried that dish. I took a bite and I fell in love instantly. The service staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend this place a thousand times over.

   Had dinner for 12 at Enoteca in a semi private space. The wait staff were first rate and so helpful throughout the evening. We had a prefixed menu with some of the food served family style and others plated individually. The food was excellent and paced out perfectly. We had 4 bottles of wine that the waitress did a great job recommending. Wine was priced right and was exactly what we were looking for to pair with the food. We enjoyed some cocktails in the bar area before during their happy hour as well. The space is beautiful and vibrant. It’s worth a stop just to see the impression two story glass wine cellar. I highly recommend Enoteca.

   Nostrana is very high class and gourmet. From the glassware to the beautiful presentation of the cuisine. It definitely comes with a price, but it’s well worth it!! If you are looking for quiet, don’t go here. It’s a fun and energetic atmosphere! Loved it so much!!! Our server and all the servers around us were FABULOUS!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

   Very nice place but to add a 22% surcharge for a tip on only 2 people is CRAZY. I get that servers need to be paid as I was a server for many many years but to automatically add 22% on all tables is not cool and my husband and I will NOT be going back.

    Nostrana is an excellent restaurant but sometimes they slip as they did Friday night. Appetizer of petrale sole was bland in flavor and prepared with a flavorless/mushy breading. The spaghetti with Marcella's No 3 sauce was cold when served.
