   We arrived to see a sign on the door—“closed labor issues”. We get it—it’s hard to get help. But a restaurant should respect its customers enough to notify open table so that a reservation can’t be booked.

   It was our first time eating in your restaurant, the food was so delicious. The only issue we had was the light above our table would flicker on and off and it was extremely hot. These two thinks will not keep us from coming back. Thank you for a wonderful experience

   Father's day menu was very pasta heavy, only two options that weren't pasta dishes. I didn't realize the normal menu wasn't being served. That said, food was delicious. Service was marred by a server who was either inexperienced or distracted. My father ended up not eating as the pasta dish was too heavy for him. I asked that it be boxed and ordered a French onion soup with extra bread on the side. First, the soup was boxed to go. When I inquired where it was, she took it away, and returned with a disassembled soup, with the cheese croutons on the side and no extra bread. Her attitude was that it was my fault. Not a good experience at all.

   The restaurant looks nice, very typical old world Italian. We were exited to try it for my birthday as the menu looked delicious. However the food was horrible. The salad was drowning in dressing, my veal piccata was paper thin tasteless something that was drowning in cream sauce of some kind and so salty you couldn’t eat it. The fish dish was also so salty that’s all you could taste. Totally inedible. Will not be back.

   All of the food was absolutely delicious! The bread with butter and garlic was my favorite. However, I will say that the service left quite a bit to be desired. My parents and I have been coming here for 10 years. This past Monday night, it took two hours for the main courses to come out, and another 25 minutes for the waitress to pick up the check. While I understand short staffing, as I work in a restaurant, I don’t understand how another four-top next to us, who was seated 30 minutes after us, received their meals and were out the door prior to us even getting our main courses. When I asked the waitress about this, who was very kind, her response was “the kitchen closed the ticket before making it but they’re starting on it now.” This was after we had been waiting an hour already. (No compensation or apology was offered, they “ran out of bread”, and were out of multiple main courses.) For an upscale restaurant with prices reflecting that, the experience became demoted after feeling like our table was forgotten. Again, the food was absolutely delicious! Unfortunately, by the time the food came out, we were all very ready to leave and probably will not be back.

    The server was lovely but the food was not worth the price. We have been to Nuvolari’s many times in the past and returned yesterday for a date night. The food seemed to have a different flavor and contain lower quality ingredients. This restaurant has been worth the splurge in the past- but not this time. I don’t think we’ll be back.

    I reside in Washington DC but visit my brother when I can and we make certain we eat at Nuvolari’s, which has become my favorite place in Mandeville. I was extremely impressed by our waiter, who recognized me from my visit a year ago, she was as professional and knowledgeable about the menu as she was last year and one of the reasons I come back to this place

    We usually have a great experience at Nuvolari's, but not this time. They were out of our favorite item on the menu, it was loud and my wife's food was not that fresh. Maybe supply chain issues.

    Waiter not very attentive. Didn't tell us all the specials (which we heard by the server behind our table. And, we would have tried one of them. It was my wife s birthday, and he didn't add to the experience to our first visit to your restaurant. Other restaurants ask if you are celebrating an occasion (which I put on the reservation), but there was no mention of it by waiter. He was outside on front area instead of paying attention to our needs. (Filling glasses with beverages) .I asked for more bread and butter and I felt he really didn't want to get it for us. I would recommend your restaurant but not that waiter.

Our food was well prepared and delicious. Kudo's to the owner, the chef, the wait staff, and all involved. Thanks to all Great experience! Highly recommend

    Amazing food, atmosphere, Wally made incredible cocktails at bar and is always so pleasant you do not want to leave to sit at your table. Of course sitting down entire different stellar experience. Bread, appetizers and entrees were all incredible. One of the best Easters we can remember. Galin was the bomb. He raised the bar for excellent service. Suggest checking your stock on Dopff & Irion, Brut Rose, Cremant' D'Alsace. We could not stop ordering.

    The food is always excellent, unfortunately I can’t say the same thing about the service. We had dinner reservations this past Monday at 8 pm and were seated right away. Unfortunately, it all went downhill from there. Our waitress was either brand new or didn’t feel like being there. We had to flag her down for drinks and appetizers. Once we received the appetizers, she walks off and doesn’t even bother to take our order. I had to flag another waitress down just to get our waitress just to take an order. BTW…. We sat there with finished appetizers and empty drinks. When she finally came to take our order, she was RUDE. She looks at both of of and says “What do you want?” I mean really! We’d like another drink and to order dinner! The service was beyond PATHETIC. It’s ashame when you have a bill for 2 everytime that we go there that’s over $150. There are other places with MUCH better service! She was a young blonde headed waitress. We never had a chance to get her name cause she was pretty much nonexistent!

    Outstanding dinner experience! We went there to celebrate our anniversary and we had an amazing meal. One of the better wedge salads I’ve ever had. The homemade blue cheese dressing was out of this world. We had a great filet as our main course. Very fresh and tasty. We can’t wait to go back.

    Wonderful Evening!! We celebrated our daughter’s birthday at Nuvolari last night. The setting/ambience is fantastic, the food was wonderful, the cocktails and wine were terrific and the service was incomparable! Tiffany has waited on us both times we were here. She remembered so much about our first visit, we were amazed! She helped my husband with his wine selection, recalling what she’d suggested/he’d ordered before… a great suggestion, by the way! Tiffany definitely made the evening more personal, memorable and special for our daughter and us.

    Loved everything about this restaurant! Our server (Larise) was personable, friendly, and genuine. Food presentation was just lovely, and food was delicious. We had oyster and Fontaine appetizer, garlic and Oliver oil pasta, lasagna, and the death by chocolate cake (yum and big enough for 4 normal eating people). Espresso coffee with orange liquors for dessert. What a great night. We are early (5:30pm when it wasn’t too busy. Womens bathroom stall door was missing a wood slat so privacy could be an issue for some.

    My husband and I ate at Nuvolari's during a little anniversary staycation. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and meal there. The food was great, and the service was perfect. We loved the fact that we weren't rushed through our meal, unlike many restaurants interested in turning over tables quickly. If we're ever in the neighborhood again, we'll be sure to go back for more.

    We always thoroughly enjoy Nuvolari's. Wonderful atmosphere, excellent service, delicious food. Only thing I would like to see changed is something other than wild rice offered with grilled fish. This has been served with the fish for years & it's very mediocre. Just not up to par with everything else on menu. Other than that everything at Nuvolari's is exceptional!

    Anniversary dinner on a Monday night. Turns out Mondays are generally very busy. Who knew? Some of the tables are arranged too close to one another, and my wife felt cramped chair to chair with a large gent at the table behind us. We were quickly moved to a more spacious table and enjoyed both great service and a wonderful meal. The panéed veal was delicious and the chargrilled red fish was to die for. Reasonably priced and great atmosphere.

    Terrible!! Save yourself time and money, go somewhere else. The restaurant is filthy. Literally cobwebs in corners, dirt hanging from fans, molding have an inch of dust caked on. If this is what the front looks like imagine the kitchen. Food was terrible. After looking around I couldn’t even eat, totally turned my stomach. The service was good, she new soMething was up when I started looking around and she chuckled. Really nasty place. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Service was wonderful and the setting is warm, comfortable and relaxed, yet upscale. Thank you and we will see you again soon, Nuvolari!
