    Wonderful date. Loved the attentive service. Felt as if the whole staff helped us. Food came out in perfect timing, fresh and hot. The swordfish was fantastic and the bolognese is great!

    We had reservations for lunch and it was good, except the valet parking guy. I think he was not happy being there at all. We ordered calamari, lobster ravioli and bolognese. Calamari and lobster ravioli were good. Husband said bolognese is meh..no flavor. Overall the experience was good.

    I ordered my tenderloin medium and it was served well done. I sent it back and they served me the same tenderloin again.

    Branzino is the best since we visited Las Vegas. Good food and be sure to try the Mexican Vanilla gelato.

    Excellent service from the walk into the building until we left 4 hrs later. Our group of four shared most of our plates and were incredibly delighted with the recommendations from Jesus and Austin. A lovely experience!

    I researched restaurants for our visit to San Antonio and one we chose was Nonna Osteria - and we are glad we did! It left us very happy and full! Let me just say this: The gnocchi was hands-down the best I’ve ever had. Light, pillowy, flavorful... it was like a warm hug from an Italian grandmother I didn’t know I had. The pasta dishes overall were well-crafted. While the value is a solid 4 out of 5 (a little on the higher end, but worth it), I only wish they had an option for half portions or more share-friendly plates; because I wanted to try everything without bursting. Service was warm, the ambiance was perfect: a simple, welcoming restaurant but the hotel it is in was Amazing and historic! Another great surprise was the staff wine knowledge and selection. I wanted an earthy Cabernet - and their offering was spot on. I only wish they were in my town. If you're in San Antonio and love authentic Italian—don’t miss Nonna Osteria!

    This was our first time at Nonna's. The food was excellent. Our waitress was Kayla who was very professional and helpful. Austin the wine director was also very helpful in selecting a wine.
