★★★★★ 5.0 Abe Kovaci · Feb 2026

We celebrated Valentine’s Day at Nonno’s Restaurant, and it was a fantastic experience. Even though it was extremely busy, the staff handled everything with professionalism and warmth. We never felt rushed, and the service remained attentive all night. While a few diners around us seemed a bit impatient because of the holiday crowd, the team stayed calm, courteous, and focused, which really stood out. The owner did a great job managing the room and keeping everything running smoothly, especially on such a hectic night. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The atmosphere was lively and romantic. For one of the busiest nights of the year, they truly did an impressive job. We’ll definitely be back!

Even though Nonno’s was incredibly busy for Valentine’s Day, they still managed to give our party of six an amazing evening. The service never felt rushed, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming despite the crowd. The food was outstanding, hands down the best red sauce, perfectly cooked steak, phenomenal chicken parm, and delicious appetizers across the board. Every dish hit. The bartender makes exceptional drinks, and to top it all off, the owner is truly the best, present, friendly, and clearly cares about the guest experience. A perfect Valentine’s dinner and a reminder of why we keep coming back. Highly recommend.

My husband and I decided to go to Nannos for Valentine’s Day. We called at 5:30 pm to see if it was too late to make a reservation. We were told that they don’t take reservations, but if we come around 7pm, they would definitely be able to seat us. We waited an hour and a half and headed over. When we got inside, it was packed. There was one family waiting ahead of us. We didn’t mind though. We understand that it’s a holiday and they are busy. After not even being greeted for 15 minutes, someone comes over to the line that is now forming out the door. We told him we needed a table for two. He then asked the people behind us. They said they had a reservation for 7:30 for a party of ten.. okay.. we were told they don’t take reservations, but fine. Miscommunications happen. Another then minut

Came out for Valentine’s Day / birthday celebration with my Boyfriend, family, and friends for what was meant to obviously be a special night. My boyfriend had made a reservation weeks ago.. and even followed up the day of calling that morning to ensure we were still good to go. Once arriving it was clear the staff was a bit behind. WE greeted the host, and told him we had made a reservation. he was a bit dismissive, saying that we would need to wait because there were people ahead of us. No problem, but we ended up waiting half an hour past our reservation time. We were eventually seated in the back corner of the restaurant and seemingly forgotten about most the night. the waiter did not even take our drink order until 40 minutes later… and we had to keep reminding him of our drinks as h

Went here multiple times on regular days, plus once on New Year’s and again on Valentine’s Day. Unfortunately, they clearly can’t handle more than a few small tables at a time. On both holidays, the food was completely lacking flavor and very disappointing. The owner is consistently rude and acts like he’s doing customers a favor just by serving them. It also feels like many of the positive reviews come from the same regulars I see every visit — the ones who seem to get special treatment. Overall, not a welcoming experience and not worth the price. I won’t be coming back.
