The restaurant has no atmosphere - very similar to an office building cafeteria without the service line. At dinner time there were no people dining. We decided to go elsewhere.

This was a lovely and surprising "find" in my neighbourhood. It is difficult to find fully-operational restaurants during COVID times. I probably wouldn't have discovered Nonna's if it were "normal" times. The service was really, really excellent. The food was extremely fresh and beautifully prepared. This place will definitely become a regular eating spot for me.

Horrible experience. I went for Valentine s day and they had a fixed price menu for the day with only a few choices (5 different main dishes only), however it was very difficult to learn this from the waiter who we had and there was lots of confusion on what was included, what we could chose and what were the prices. Parking was $35 even though the parking sign on entering said $15 and even tho the restaurant validated the parking ticket and we only stayed for 1.5 hrs total. I called the store but there was not assistance concerning the $35 dollar parking. The dinner basically cost a total of $200 total for a 6 oysters, 1 piece of halibut, 1 pasta and 1 piece of cheesecake.

The service was terrible. After being seated, we had to ask for the menus. It took a very long time for a server to come by to take our order and it took 50 minutes before the food came to the table. Aside from the salad, the food Was lukewarm.The whole entire place were seated with patrons but there were only 2 servers. At one point, a server came by to take a extra chair away for another table but the manner he did that was very rude. Given the Christmas season and lunch celebrations at this time of the year, the restaurant should have been better prepared. Our lunch was a birthday celebration for our friend and unfortunately, it didn’t leave us with a positive experience.

Good food. Good value. Superb service by Nalini. One thing, we're disappointed, the menu says spaghetti bolognese, but it came as fettuccini with chunks of ground beef. Wish they informed us a head of time.

Horrible service where they forgot to serve my main meal which they charge on my bill without serving. I had to bring my meal home in a doggy bag. Horrible service. They need to pick up on the service fast. And they didn’t offer any rebates for such a poor service in forgetting the main meal of a client. Food is good if you’re a foody
