Nonno’s was recommended to us by a friend as we just moved into the area. So happy he told us about it! We had a lovely meal... with excellent friendly service. Upscale, but not too pricey. I have a feeling we will become regulars. Read more

Hm. so I read the Z Teller review after I went there. All I can say is that we all have taste preferences and maybe Z didn't... order the thing that would have made them happy. I had a lovely meal with friends. That might also have an influence on myexperience. The staff was kind and considerate and professional. Enjoyed!! Read more

The food was delicious! We each had one of the two ravioli dishes. The pasta was cooked to perfection and the sauces had so much... flavor. Our appetizer, the seafood in spicy tomato sauce was also delicious. Not too spicy, perfectly seasoned. I had a glass ofthe sangiovese from Temecula and it paired perfectly. Read more

The food here was some of the best local food I've had in a while. The Alfredo was amazing. So creamy and delicious. This has... become my favorite Italian place in town. I appreciated their Wednesday night date night special. It was a great value and thedessert was delicious. Will definitely go here over and over again. Read more

I’ve found my new favorite Italian place! One of our friends recommended this place, a small ish Italian place hidden in... murietta. This inside is mood lighting perfect for a romantic date evening. The place was rather busy but we waited very littlebefore they took case of us. Their wine selection was pretty extensive and we went on Thursday where you could get 1/2 offbottle, a pretty good deal! Highly recommend the canyon road wine! We ordered our pastas and they brought out some yummy breadwith olive oil. They recommended the caprese salad to share and wow what a great pick, really hit the spot. My wife got thespecial of the night the spaghetti carbonara and I got the rigatoni san Romeo and wow. Talk about knocking it out of the park.Everything they served was delicious!! We were walking out of that place full and happy. The prices are pretty good for theportions, the food is out of this world, and the service is rock solid! Easily 5 stars! Read more

I strolled in with the family. It smelled great from the outside. The staff inside are inviting. It was spaced out comfortably... for everyone to enjoy. We sat in the patio and it was a nice breeze. I was instantly brought back to Naples, Italy. The food wasamazing and the service made us feel at home. Some pizza for the kids, a lasagna and I had the salmon special ,wash it down withsome red and white vino We're coming back for date night, absolutely. Read more

I really wanted to like Nonno's more, but there are some things they have to work on. Firstly, the greeting. We arrived for our... reservation a few minutes early. They were very busy, with several staff quickly moving around, some serving food and some goingto tables. That would've been fine if someone would've just made eye contact and said hello. I don't think that is a big deal,but the manner in which we were seated made things even worse. I said we were hoping to sit outside since it was a nice night,and as I indicated on the reservation, this was a special birthday occasion. The hostess/server simply said: "Well, you'relucky because we seat no reservations outside. You get to sit inside where it is nicer." I asked why it was "nicer" and shesaid, because we have air conditioning. The weather was a beautiful 75 degrees! It felt like she was trying to gloss over thereservation request to sit outside. I decided to ignore the seating problem and we were brought around a wooden panel shieldingthe front entrance from the main dining room. Although the table was fine, the dining room was one of the darkest I've evereaten in! I would say the ambiance was of a typical American Italian restaurant with dark wood tables and decor, and Italianwine bottles as well as pictures of Italy on the amber walls, which was fine. Our server came over promptly and introducedherself. Jessica was a joy- great attitude, friendly, helpful with menu questions, and very efficient! My wife ordered thePappardelle Bolognese and I got the Ravioli di Formaggio, to which I added the sausage. Strangely, when I asked if it wasItalian sausage and if it was made in-house, Jessica had to go to the kitchen to ask. As she had just started a week ago, Icould tell she was eager to get the right information, so she did the right thing. She confirmed it was Italian sausage, but notmade fresh. The dishes took almost 30 minutes to arrive. They looked good, so we dug in. Sadly, they were of average Read more
