The food was amazing! We shared the fried artichokes which were cooked to perfection ton, with a wonderful aioli! I had the pappardelle with short rib! It was incredible! The cognac sauce was so delicious!! Ended with a cappuccino-perfectly made!
Excellent all around!

All I can say is OH WOW!!! They make their own pasta, cavatelli and gnocchi.... absolutely delish!! It's my mom's birthday today... mama is from Italy and very picky about her Italian food (especially sauce!) and espresso. She was floored with both.... from salad to dessert - the best food around.... Thank you for being here and don't EVER leave!!! :)

Visited not too long ago while on vacation. Our meal was good and my girlfriend enjoyed her espresso martinis.
The meatballs were different but are yummy and definitely worth trying! The garlic bread wasn’t anything special, but get a side of marinara sauce for dipping and you’re set. The penne aka vodka was nice and creamy. Unfortunately the cacio e pepe daily special was served cold and you could barely taste any pepper. The fried mozzerrla ball didn’t really fit in either. The staff was very friendly with handling this though and comped the entree.
Besides the cacio e pepe, I would give this place another chance.

My first time here with our family (group of 10). We all had a different entree and everything was fantastic! Highly recommend the Fruti di Mare…wonderfully cooked homemade linguine with a delicious tomato sauce and clams, mussels, shrimp and calamari. I wish I took pictures but everything was beautifully presented. We will definitely be back! Additional meals ordered…lobster ravioli, pappradelle w/short rib, gargelli pasta, penne vodka. Pistachio cheesecake, creme brule and mousse.

We have been going to Nostrano every week since the new owners Gio and his Dad Chef Jesus took over from the former owners. We can honestly say it is the best Italian food in CT. Chef Jesus never ceases to surprise us with his culinary talents and daily specials. I love all the fish dishes and the portions are very generous. My husband has sampled every homemade pasta dish on the menu and concurs that they are scrumptious. Gio is very caring, warm and family oriented and he approaches diners individually to converse about menu choices and dining experiences. We are always warmly greeted by the beautiful hostesses Fernanda and Valencia and promptly brought to our table. The wait staff of Tom, Rene, Meredith, Abby and Kristen are experts in their jobs, super friendly and always accommodating to our dining needs. Along with helpers Marby, Chris and Jose who are always friendly, courteous and caring. We have recommended Nostrano to many friends and family and they have fully enjoyed their visits and meals. We love Nostrano and always enjoy every dining experience we have there as we are treated like “Family”…and in return, we consider Gio, Chef Jesus and staff to be our Perfect Dining Family, also!!
