    What makes it fun

    Did you know that the English translation of "nonna" is simply "grandmother"? But to our Italian friends, "nonna" carries a whole lot more weight! It's a magical word that conjures up visions of powerful matriarchs, gracefully passing down generations of mouthwatering recipes and orchestrating epic family get-togethers that warm the heart and bring everyone closer. At Nonna Osteria, our ultimate aspiration is to embody that incredible essence and spread those timeless tastes of Northern Italy flawlessly crafted with a contemporary twist. The pizzas and pastas are near perfection, Nonna would be so proud to watch you enjoy every delicious bite.

    I had the Filet medium rare with double gnocchi. I eat steaks nearly everywhere I go and it was truly one of the best I have ever had. Great seer and perfect medium rare. The gnocchi was to die for. 5 stars. Definitely recommend!!

    First time visit to celebrate our anniversary. Twas a delicious delightful experience. The best meal I've had possibly ever. The tapenade and bread was so delicious to start off with I should of known it was only up from there. We had the Caprese Appetizer and WOW was never expecting it to come out with fried mozzarella! It was absolutely delicious. I had the Tartufo (they normally carry a 25 year aged parmigiana but this time had the 15 year which was spectacular). Having fresh pasta with parmigiana was an amazing experience. It was so delicious and worth every penny my husband spent 😋 It was a real treat and paired amazingly well with the Filetto my husband got with Brandon's(waiter) recommendation. Afterwards they treated us to a slice of tiramisu for our anniversary and it was definetly the best I've ever had! The food was such an experience I forgot to mention the atmosphere and restaurant were beautiful. It was 8pm on a Sunday so no wait time or crowd however we still called 30min prior to make a reservation just in case. The staff was so curtious and welcoming from the moment we stepped through the door to the moment we stepped out. There is a rooftop bar which had just closed but they were still kind enough to show us around and take photos of us with the view. Again AMAZING STAFF! I can't sing enough praises about our experience. It is a must visit and definitely cant wait for the next big occasion because this is where we'll be going!-Happy Wife

    I love that they have a bar area for solo dinners for either Nonna or Silo; Rachel took extremely good care of myself and the other guests at the bar, and honestly, I can say I’ll be back because of primarily the excellent service at the bar in addition to the strong showing from the kitchen. Bravo!

    I was there this past Sunday evening. Having lived in Northern Italy for close to 20 years, I was a little disappointed. That's how it usually has been in the very few times I've given Italian restaurants in the U.S a try. I didn't enjoy the Caprese salad, mostly due to the fact the mozzarella was fried. The pasta al funghi was rather bland and the carbonara was just a little off. I'll stick with preparing my own Italian food. Service was excellent.

    Not terrible, but so disappointed..... I walked 20 minutes here just because of the menu online. But none of the 4 things I was excited about are even on the menu anymore. 😪 no spinach manicotti, no pizza pancetta, ... just FYI.

    Cocktails were fabulous, the caprese salad was delightful! (Pictured) Ordered the bolognese entree and it was very good, my boyfriend ordered the Gnocchi and said it was the best thing he’s had in a long time. The service was friendly, and prompt. Parking was readily available across the street. It does get a little loud in the dining room, but all in all it was a great experience!

    The olive tapanade and bread pieces they bring out when you arrive was good. Octopus appetizer was delicious!Had to try the pasta Tartofu, with the lump crab and truffles. I was surprised to find out it was $70.00 a plate! So my husband and I split it. I'm glad we did! Very good but also very rich! I would almost suggest getting it as a taster with 4-6people so that everyone gets try it, along with your salads and entree's! Very interesting!! Would definitely recommend this place!!Small place, would recommend reservations.
