Nonno's Ristorante

Absolutely shocked by the 4.7 star average rating here. Came in with high hopes as I’ve from Boston and NY and was left absolutely shocked by the low quality of food. First, the bread was alright, it came with oil and vinegar which is better than butter. The carpaccio was alright, the calamari was typical frozen tasting and served with red sauce. Honestly the two apps were probably the best dishes we had. The pizza was legitimately shocking. Raw onions and mushrooms on what looked and tasted like store bought premade dough. It tasted like something you’d get at a middle school, which is nostalgic, but absolutely criminal to be charging $26 for and absolutely not authentically Italian. The bolognese was interesting, not a deep taste, but it’s hard to completely butcher a meat sauce. The chicken parm tasted like a microwaved chicken cutlet with sauce on top. Very disappointed. I could legitimately microwave frozen chicken tenders with red sauce and it would taste the same. The service was extremely fast and nice, no complaints. But, they did serve my gluten free wife who specifically ordered gf pasta, normal pasta. They apologized for it. A replacement dish came out relatively fast. I originally wanted to try a cannoli or tiramisu for desert but was so disappointed by the meal, we just left. In total, our food with a bottle of sparkling and one peroni came out to $130… we will definitely not be returning.

Matthew always provides excellent service. We were happy to be served by him again. His cocktail making and wine pouring skills are top notch. Food was excellent, it always is. It is not a demerit 8n the slightest but in today's dietary age, I do wish there were more gluten free (GF) options available, especially with bread choices, even if there was a small charge. We will always go here for our Italian cuisine fix. It's the best in town and far better than Anthony's, so go here instead ;-)
