Nonna Lisa's Italian Restaurant in Mackinaw City offers a unique ambiance that some find not typically Italian, yet the pizza remains delicious and reasonably priced. The restaurant has received praise for its ambiance and look, making it appealing to many guests. The rustic decor caters to all dining experiences, from casual to formal. The food is not only delicious but also includes generous portions, with dishes like spaghetti and meatballs and lasagna that many guests have enjoyed. However, some reviews mentioned that certain dishes, such as Gnocci and Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo, did not meet expectations for flavor.
The restaurant has received mixed reviews recently. Some customers found the appetizers, like the half moon mozzarella, to be overcooked and the breading to be rubbery. Others felt the pizza had no real flavor and was undercooked, with a doughy texture. The waiter's response to the feedback on the pizza was not satisfactory. Additionally, some customers found the chicken piccata to be a bit dry, with no sauce, and the stromboli's red sauce to be bitter.
Despite these concerns, Nonna Lisa's sets a high standard for dining in Mackinac City, making it a must-visit spot for locals and tourists alike.
