We loved the food and service. Will go again. Hoping for more vegetarian choices on the menu when we visit again.

March 2024: The atmosphere was loud. The server was inattentive and aloof; we had to ask for the menu to be explained. It took 20mins to order drinks and over 40 minutes to order food. There were three vegetarians in our party who had very few options. The menu was not marked for gluten free, vegetarian, or vegan. The food was not served as described and every item we ordered tasted very salty; I couldn’t finish any of the items I ordered. All of this is nothing to say of the horrible FOOD POISONING that left me vomiting and coming out the other end for more than 24h after we got home. Worst food poisoning I’ve had in 20yrs. We will never return ever.

Outstanding in so many ways. The atmosphere transports u to another place. Seating options are all great including at the fancy bar, in the bar at a high top, fancy dining room and my fav: patio on a warm day. Food amazing, drinks amazing, staff amazing. Easy parking. Italian food store attached. Great for special occasions, happy hour, any time really.

We had our wedding reception here and they were just fantastic. Tiffany, Borna, Daniel and the team were so nice and accommodating. The food was amazing, the wine incredible, service impeccable. They took accountability for the success of our event and delivered in a big way. Amazing beef carpaccio, pastas, steak, lamb, etc. This is our new favorite. I’d give 10 stars if I could

Will never recommend again! We were frequent customers to your restaurant. Went to dinner last night and had the WORST dinner ever! Our bad experience started at the front door. We had reservations and it took the girl at least 5 minutes to figure out where to seat us in an empty restaurant. When we were finally seated, by the kitchen door. We asked about the specials and we were told about the 3 course Valentine's special. It sounded good so we ordered it. Our question is - did you make it on valentines day? Only thing good about that whole meal was the wine and salad and our server, Daniel. We might suggest that the chef go to San Francisco and see how to make a real cioppino, because that was disgusting. I took one bite and so did my husband, and it went in the garbage. Unfortunately we will not be coming back or recommending your restaurant to anyone anymore. That dinner should have been free.

First of all people will ask was the food good? Yes, absolutely was. My Valentine made reservations for us and we decided to both try some place new for both of us. Walking in you see a beautiful building. Gorgeous entry door. The atmosphere is quite enticing. Smells amazing. Beverages selections were top notch. So what's the reason for less than a stellar review? We waited 15 MN for our server to even notice us. Honestly had my friend not stopped another server to find out server, she may not have come at all. Once we ordered the food, it came very quickly, our guess is the Manager saw my date was not happy. She worked so hard to make this a memorable night. Once the food was delivered we asked for some other things and they didn't arrive until we asked a second time. We did order the Tiramisu. It's one of her go-to desserts. It was really good. Definitely should try it. Food? 4.5 stars. Service? Maybe 2.

An elegant restaurant with high class, delicious Italian dinners, served in a magnificent room with personable, attentive service. What's not to like? It was so noisy that we couldn't carry on a conversation. I won't be back.

Returned to I Nonni for dinner after not going from a number of years. Sat in the bar area and had great service by Liam and the rest of the staff. Calamari was crisp, fresh and delightful as was the Verdure Miste Arrosto (grilled vegies). My wife enjoyed her seared scallops, and my lamb chops (three large) were perfectly prepared. Liam selected the wines to accompany our meals, and the Le Creete Lugana (for the scallops) and the Barolo (for my lamb) were perfect. Even without raisins (a personal favorite), the carrot cake was sublime. I wonderful dinner with nice ambiance on a cold winter's night.
