This was definitely the best expensive, fine dining restaurant that I have been to in Madison. If that is what you are seeking, then Nostranos will not disappoint.

I thought the food and drinks were delicious but the ambiance/energy in the space was unwelcoming. Also, when there are only three entrees, it's somewhat disappointing when one of them is out on a Saturday night... I would go back to give it another try because the food was delicious and perhaps its was just an off night...but, had higher hopes.

We loved our table in the back, looking for a quiet spot for five, one of whom is 90!

Took a chance on Nostrano to avoid the Friday night lines at other surrounding restaurants. So glad those others were too busy. Not sure I would have found this gem otherwise. Fantastic menu and service! Will definitely be back.

Nice execution on an interpretation of "green gazpacho". Terrific affogato for dessert.

We've been coming to Nostrano for a while now, and this is the first disappointment. It gave the impression they've sort of mailed it in as they look to sell the restaurant. Service was very slow and the food was mediocre. The menu lacked much choice for appetizers, and the cucumber gazpacho we both ended up with reminded us of dill pickles too heavy on the vinegar. I had short rib rigatoni - it was short on the short rib and the only bit of meat I found had a bone in it. The dish had a strange anise flavor, maybe basil picked past its prime. The worst was the pasta though. I didn't get more than half way through before giving up. The Basque Cake for dessert saved this from being a 1-star affair. The grilled pineapple was quite good and the cake had a nice crisp on the edges.
