Sat at a high top table booth in the bar area. The waitress was also working as a server and bartender with two other bartenders. The bar was not busy at all! The high top table was literally 5 feet from where they were working behind the bar, and the lack of attention showed us was almost incomprehensible. Dinner for 4 with drinks, dessert with tip was over $500.00 the waitress came back to the table only one time after our entrees were served. Needless to say for this price Point, we would expect a much greater level of service…… TERRIBLE is a huge understatement.

Nonna’s Cucina was a total letdown. We came with seven people and got the same portions as when we were four—what a joke. The service was awful; our server didn’t even say hi or check on us once. They overcharge like crazy, add a credit card fee, and pre-charge a full tip, so they clearly don’t care. Don’t waste your time or money here.

Very noisy restaurant. No atmosphere. Food was just so so . They brought our entrée out while we were still having appetizers, we felt very rushed?. also ordered a second cocktail which never arrived, but we were dying to get out of there anyway.

Another great meal at Nonna’s. The filet mignon and Veal Osso Bucco were delicious and Greg our server did a great job. It has a beautiful atmosphere by the fireplace, great food and service. Always a good time. Chocolate Martinis are also a plus!!

As usual I very much enjoyed my meal. Due to having Celiac disease I can only eat the gluten free penne which you cook perfectly with your great sauses. It would be soooo great if you got GF seasoned bread crumbs so I could order your great chicken parm.-baked clams-stuffed mushrooms It would also be great if you had an option to get GF bread at the beginning of the meal with the cocktails ...toasted w/butter,,, with your homade eggplant tompinade. I know there might be a cost for it, but if you keep it reasonable restricted eaters like myself would not complain
