    Dined at Nonnina last night. I was a solo diner so I wasn't sure how I would be treated ,( ie stuck in back next to the bathroom). I had made reservation just to make sure I had a place to eat. When I got there. I told them I would prefer to eat in the bar if possible. They were more than accommodating and actually gave me my own table if that's what I wanted. The service was excellent! Attentive without being hurried. Food was delicious. Stuck to a very basic chicken parmesan which is often how I judge an Italian restaurant. Chicken was excellent, sauce was perfect- not too sweet but had a spice with plenty of basil. Pasta was homemade & cooked al dente. I took a tiramisu to go which was delicious. It is not cheap but you get what you pay for. Would definitely recommend & eat here again.

    Service and food were both excellent. The vibe is also really nice. My only complaint would be that my cocktail, the Isabella, was way too sweet, but it was still good. Great experience overall!

    We enjoyed Nonnina’s lunch menu during Restaurant Week. We chose the truffle infused burrata salad with shaved speck and the roasted cauliflower and butternut squash salad. Both were fresh and delicious! The carbonara bucatini pasta topped with pancetta, pecorino and egg yolk was simply elegant and amazing. The seabass was pan roasted and seasoned perfectly. The crispy cannoli and creamy Nutella panna cotta finished our meal on a high note. The staff and our server, Ubaldo were friendly, attentive and very efficient.

    went for restaurant week lunch with co-workers. the server was a bit odd - brief that sometimes came across as curt. the meatball appetizer was supposed to have come with crostini but it was forgotten. when we asked about it, we were given house bread, but no crostini. still a good meal. my only issue with the atmosphere was that it was cold for indoor seating. other than that, i’d go back for dinner.

    It’s an elevated, yet casual dining experience, so good for a chill date night or going out with family. I ordered their leek and mushroom pizza and my bf ordered the squid ink pasta. Only gripe was the pizza had too much cheese and so did his pasta, yet hey! if you are a cheese lover it’s not an issue. They brought us complimentary olive oil cake to celebrate, which was delicious and the service was warm and friendly. Would definitely come back! (:

    The restaurant week menu seemed nice but the portions were really tiny for vegetarians, and the service felt so rushed. Our all three courses were served to us in under 30 mins! Appetizers were nice, pasta was very average, I have had better Italian. Ambience is cute.

    We went to Nonnina for a late lunch with a friend from out of town and some of my review reflects this. It happened to be restaurant week and we all had that menu, which was an extremely good value for the selected three courses, with a lot of choices. Our friend had the meatball appetizer and fettucine, which looked very good, obviously smaller portions for lunch, and we had the arugula, roasted cauliflower and sweet potato salads and the seared sea bass with mushroom fregola on the side. These were generous portions and very tasty. The Nutella panna cotta dessert was delicious and just right. We were in the "outside" terrace room, which I'm sure is even lovelier in the summer with the windows open and at that hour was quiet. I understand that this restaurant is the more casual sibling of Piccolo Sogno and the same care is evident in the dishes. We would definitely go back.
