Nona’s Restaurant

NY steak, pancetta risotto, fettuccine alfredo, penne pesta pasta, and bread that i tried was delicious 😋

First of all, this review has NOTHING to do with the food at this restaurant. The food was wonderful. However, it was completely overshadowed by the rudeness of the server. First of all, she was NEVER friendly. She brought both myself and my husband the wrong drinks. She brought me a rootbeer versus a Dr. Pepper, and ARGUED with me over it being correct. Then brought me a bottled rootbeer, and finally said they didn't have Dr. Pepper. My husband ordered ice tea, and got hot tea. After her arguing the issue with me, he just drank the hot tea. Next, after our appetizer came we had to walk up to the counter to ask for silverware, after already asking for it once. She never asked if we wanted refills, and came to the table to get the menus after we already had our food. At that time, I tried to hand her my drink cup and said that I would like a refill, and she said, I was coming for the menus and pointed at them. Finally, the check came with a QR code to pay the bill. I paid (and against my better judgement) tipped her 15% using the QR code on the tab, and walked out the door. She came out the door with our tab and told us we didn't pay. I told her that I paid using the QR code. She said that she needed to check and told me that I needed to come back into the restaraunt while she did something. She was extremely rude. I walked back in with other patrons staring like I had tried to run out on the check. She said nothing further to me, walked to the register looking at it. Still said nothing. I walked to the register and said, here is the receipt on my phone. She looked up and said, I checked, you can go now.

I eat out frequently. I always use QR codes, and or the tablets at the tables to streamline paying if available. Never in all of the times I have eaten out, regardless of what process was used to pay the bill have I EVER been treated this way. So, on top of the extremely poor service which I was willing to overlook because of the excellent food, I was embarassed in front of other patrons and treated like a criminal.

I am very sad to write this review because I was so excited to have this restaurant so close to my home, but after being treated that way, I won't return. This young lady ran off what would have been a loyal and regular customer.

The service was great and the lunch was good 😊

Comprehensive menu selections, everyone at our table loved their entree, Chucken picatta, lasagna, meatballs, every item was thoroughly enjoyed. Waiting on their beer and wine license last time I was in.

Four of us enjoyed birthday dinners tonight. All of us loved our meals. I had the calamari which was so tasty. We'll definitely be back. Great meal, huge portion so I have dinner tomorrow and good service.

Had the chicken scaloppine and the chicken picatta both were really good. The lasagna is also really tasty.

Service was excellent and food was great, definitely will be back for more soon! Pasta trio was three of my favorites!

Thought I would finally give this place a shot. They failed miserably. I came in by myself, not even acknowledged for 10 mins, and once I was, the girl said okay I'll find you a table. I stood there another 5 minutes, when a couple came in, and were promptly seated. They did not have reservations either. Stood there an additional 5 minutes, not even acknowledged. So, I walked out. Definitely will NOT ever be back.

Went out Saturday to give this place a try. I would just say it was average. It was extremely smoky inside and it had an unpleasant smell. I opted to sit outside instead. I found the service to be inconsistent and they need to train the staff better. Waited nearly 15 minutes to order and had to ask for bread, Salt and pepper and napkins. Waiters would not pull used plates when checking on us.The food was fine but just ok. I saw all the other reviews and people raved about it some even compared it to Pietros. Uhm not close. I hope they do well and I want them to. Maybe it was a bad night for them. It was crowded. Will I be back? Still on the fence. I wish them well and hope they succeed.

Great service and very good lunch. I had Pancetta Risotto, and it was a very healthy portion. Just wish I had a photo to share

Not bad, but I felt like the food could have had a little more flavor. I would give it another shot just to find out. Not a bad atmosphere. Not bad!

Nona's Restaurant excels in both taste and ambiance. The quality of the food reflects a deep respect for traditional Italian flavors, while the inviting atmosphere makes it an ideal spot for both intimate dinners and festive gatherings. Whether you’re a connoisseur of Italian cuisine or simply looking for a memorable meal, Nona's Restaurant delivers an experience that is both authentic and exceptional. My family and I will be making this place one of our regulars. I recommend the Chicken Marsala!

Delicious ? Stoked to have an amazing Italian food place in Lodi other than Pietro's. Best Chicken Picatta I think I've ever had. Roasted potatoes were amazing. Hubby loved the Chicken Parmesan.

Food good service good

The staff is really nice, the food is great! They even gave us a free bruschetta appetizer - would go again and will recommend!
