About Nanas

Nanas is a lovely property exuding warm supper club vibes with a modern twist. It enjoys a reputation as a first-class restaurant, delivering courteous, attentive service and fine cocktails. The impressive specialty cocktails and wine list showcase outstanding selections from the Piedmont section of Italy. Guests have raved about the amazing house-made rolls, which pair perfectly with dishes like scallops. The variation of the menu reflects true culinary skill, with appetizers such as the grits soufflé and chicken liver mousse continuing to impress. Dinner rolls are still described as melting in the mouth. Second courses, including ravioli, gnocchi, and squid ink pasta, are fantastic, with the vegetarian gnocchi receiving particular praise. The duck with rhubarb presentation remains gorgeous, and the trout special of the day has been noted as fantastic. The risotto is always top notch, and the chilled tomato soup special has left a lasting impression on guests. Desserts like chocolate mousse, hazelnut tiramisu, and chocolate soufflé with ice cream and chocolate sauce are a must-try. While the food is excellent, some guests have mentioned feeling rushed within the two-hour dining limit. However, the servers tastefully time each course, making sure guests do not feel hurried. Despite the cold temperature inside, Nanas provides an incredible dining experience with amazing food, attentive personal service from knowledgeable staff, and a lively atmosphere that is perfect for any occasion.

We went there for birthday dinner for our daughter. Three of us took got lamb and one of us had steak. Two of us getting the lamb had loose motion in the morning. The gravy for both the dishes were the same. Very average food for which they charge a lot of money, It is definitely not worth the money they charge

This place is a true GEM to Durham! I celebrated my birthday here with a group of 17 people and from the initial conversation with the staff they were extremely efficient, professional and accommodating! And the food…the food was incredible! The drinks were made perfectly, the service was top notch and the atmosphere was very accommodating. I 100% recommend this place, no matter the occasion! Thank you all for accommodating my large group and making sure we had an unforgettable...read full review

Nana's serves diseased liver from tortured duck (foie gras). When I called to ask them to consider taking it off, they immediately sent me to an automated message humane-washing foie gras. Either they don't know how their food is made, or they intentionally patronize customers.
