We had a 30-person wedding dinner in I Nonni’s wine room; beautiful private setting. The service, food, and wine all BLEW AWAY even our high expectations! What a special place. Made for an even more unforgettable event!

Hosted a work event at Nonni during happy hour/ dinner. The server was fantastic at making sure everyone had drinks filled, without being intrusive. The food itself was also great-we had a pre-planned menu of various pizzas, arancini, peppadaw and meats and cheeses. All in all, a wonderful experience.

Excellent food and excellent service. No question as to why they win awards. Treat yourself to the best in the area. I'm not big on a 5 star rating by I tip my cap to the people here.

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE…the food was severely plain with no flavor. the noodles were undercooked and hard. they tasted like rubber and were not aldente what so ever. i had to ask for salt and pepper after my FIRST bite of food. The food had overall a bitter taste and tasted like fish water. For the price of $23 i expected the food to taste good especially with all the good reviews. definitely disappointed and will not be coming back ever even if held at gunpoint.

Not sure how this place received 428 reviews and maintained a 4.5 star level, but all the plaques on the wall were from 2006, so that might explain things. This meal was a colossal turd from start to finish. We walked in the door and the hostesses told us we should take our time ordering because their kitchen was slammed, yet the restaurant was half empty and they appeared to have almost as many employees as customers. Not good. We asked to switch our reservations from the bar area to the dining room and the two, yes, two, hostesses had to have a conference with each other about how full the dining room was and how they would fit us in. The dining room started and remained half empty from when we were sat to when we left. Not sure how this created such a conundrum of where to fit us in.

Now let's get to the food..... The bread came out of a fridge, not an oven, served with a ramekin of premixed low quality balsamic and olive oil. That was the only option other than eating dry bread. We ordered a "full" salad which was 1 cup of spinach topped with a handful of dry cherries and 2 shavings of pecorino and 1 chip of speck...apparently for $19. We then each prefer a "full" pasta course. This ended up even worse than the salad. The portions were so tiny, like legitimately, maybe, 1 cup of pasta. No exaggeration here. For $26. I asked the waiter if we were mistakenly given half orders and he assured us they were full orders. I asked how these possibly constituted full orders and all he had to say was that he doesn't control the kitchen. Ok. Well, both pastas were very overcooked and mushy and one was so dry we had to drink water or wine with each bite to choke it down. We were never offered fresh pepper or fresh grated cheese and never offered more water. This place legitimately sucks. Hard. What a tremendous waste of money.

Oh and if you still were thinking about going anyway after this review and were ever thinking the ambiance befit wearing nicer clothes, you would be mistaken. Tshirts, Birkenstocks, baseball hats, and other ratty clothes were in abundance.

First visit and I wish I lived closer, but 600t miles is a little far. Trevor was our server. He claimed to be newer, but he was outstanding! Everything was delicious! there were 3 of us & we each had a different entrée plus an antipasto appetizer.
It was a relaxing evening and we sat outside. I HIGHLY recommed!!

Parking: Suer easy & plenty!
