“ Wonderful service, wonderful ambiance, wonderful live saxophone music. Nonna is a lovely human, if she was taking applications for granddaughters I would apply. Vincent was a lovely server and was so personable as well as punctual, while not being overly pressuring. Overall great experience, would reccomend for a night catching up with friends, a romantic evening with a loved one, or for any occasion! ”

“ Very pleased with our first visit. We only ordered sandwiches, so didnt really test the chef, but what we had was quite good and everything going by to other tables looked great. Live piano music was good but pretty loud. The kids got some talent! Service was good. Recommended. ”
“ Nothing disappointing here. Michaela has great recommendations. I had given up on finding good Italian food but I could see this place from my hotel and decided to give it a shot. The flavors reminded me of some of my favorite places in Connecticut. Flavor, flavor, flavor! ”
“ The wife, our close friendsinlaws and I ate here on 12724. Not only was the food absolutely delicious, but the service was amazing as well! We even got to meet Nonna and get a picture with her, with me in her lap I got a kiss on the cheek! What a very sweet and nice lady! This is absolutely one of the best Italian restaurants Ive ever ate at! Between the 4 of us, we had Lasagna, Cioppino, Pizza, Pasta Fagiole, Bistro Scampi, Parmesan Crusted Chicken and Garlic Knots, we all shared a taste of each others food! And when I say we left with full bellys, its because the food was so delicious, you couldnt stop eating even when full! I would absolutely return for dining at Nonnas!! ”
“ There is something that despite their money and large marketing budgets that chain restaurants cannot match and that is...the atmosphere and energy of a well run local restaurant. Nonnas Italian Bistro captivates you from the moment you step in the door. A baby Grand Piano greets you as soon as you walk into the dining room with All That Jazz painted on the wall behind it. And its not there for show...okay well it is for live shows I mean. This is one of the very few places left where you can enjoy a fine meal while listening to a live jazz trio. Although this particular night they presented a local singer guitarist named Josh, who performed an array of contemporary songs. Okay you want to know about the food, is it good, is it plentiful, and is it worth it? The clear answer from our experience is YES, YES, YES!!!! The dining room is expansive, warm, well decorated even if a bit cliche with poster prints of Italy that you might find in more cookie cutter places. But the reason you will fall in love with Nonnas is the yummy food, the service, and Nonna herself is known to frequent the tables to make sure everything is to your liking. Now that touch of authenticity is invaluable and is what will keep us coming back to enjoy Nonnas. Heck, we might even see you there!. Follow up we have been back there 6 times since our original visit and guess what...its still awesome! LiveRemarkably StevieGSuccess ”
“ Nonnas is our favorite neighborhood restaurant to go to for any special occasion or we just want great Italian food with fabulous service. I order Nonna salad with grilled shrimp almost every time. The Bruschetta appetizer is another flavorful favorite. Our guests have enjoyed amazing pasta dishes, pizza, and lets not forget the amazing Cioppino. The atmosphere makes you feel like you are a valued guest or a loved family member. Thank you everyone for always making us feel so special! ”
