    10/10 experience at Nolo's! I have been here several times and this was one of the best times. I went with a group of girlfriends and from the first moment of meeting our server, we knew it was going to be a great experience. Our waitress was so bubbly, friendly and talkative, making us feel comfortable and answering all of our questions. I have severe allergies and the staff paid careful attention to accommodate me without issues. The manager even came to our table to check in on my food allergies which brought a great piece of mind. The manager was very friendly and helpful, and made sure we were having a great experience. And the food! So good that there was little conversation at the table while we enjoyed our meals. The menu changes quite often so I know there are always new dishes to try every time I plan a meal at Nolo's. Could not recommend this restaurant enough!

    We picked this restaurant out of a handful within a short walk to the Luminary Arts Center. Since I noticed in previous reviews that it was noisy, I requested the most quiet spot available. We were happy they showed us to the window tables which worked for us. Service was great. I particularly liked the Loosen Riesling and the Miso Walleye!

    Food was excellent. Quite noisy, but we were given a booth with high backs and were able to easily hear conversation at our table. Love seeing the place was busy with lots of young people and a mix of other ages. Minneapolis is alive and well. Wishing Nolos lots of success.
