WE AIN'T NONNA'S! It's a simple as that. We love and appreciate all the Nonna's out there and the beautiful food they create. We don't want to compete with your Nonna's cooking, so we won't.

This is our take on home style Italian cooking.

    Always a great meal at Ain’t Nona’s. The food was delicious and the service great. Some new items in the menu - verde pasta and marinated peppers were great.

    We had a great night! We allowed the waiters to chose for us, just requesting whatever they recommended in small, share plate serves. We got about 8 small plates which was plenty for two. It consisted of meats, cheese curds (my fave!) arancini balls, a terrine, various dips, breads...all delish! Clearly great waiters who know their stuff! Plus wines, cocktails and coffees to go with. All reasonably priced at roughly $70 per head. End to end, the whole service was top notch.

    The food is quite pricey, the food was quite average for the price. Need more options on the cocktail menu. Service was good. I had the Foccaccia, Olives and Burrata as an entree and the gnocchi for main, and everything was just okay. $30 for a pasta is a bit much

    Food was absolutely delicious. We had the Feed Me which was great. More food than we could eat for a couple. Service was excellent and so was the wine. We would have preferred a longer break between courses, so we could thoroughly enjoy each plate. We will be back to taste other delicacies.
