A rainy day calls for going out for breakfast, and in this case, it was Nana's. We were staying at…read morean Airbnb nearby and our host recommended this place, so we decided to try it out. The GPS led us to a parking lot, with a good number of spots and Nana's was 20 steps away. They do have a patio with a few tables but because it was raining, we went straight inside. When we arrived, there were only a couple parties seated, but by the time we were mid-way through our meal / leaving, the place was packed. Our server helped us with understanding some of the items on the menu and also warned us about some of the iteme they didn't have, like pepperoni, mushrooms, and donuts. With that in mind, we ordered risotto balls to start and the pesto egg and cheese sandwich (baked fresh eggs, pesto, cheddar cheese, lemon aioli, brioche roll) and Dijon and lemon chicken salad sandwich (slow roasted chicken thighs, lemon aioli, herbs, local greens, pickles, and side of fries) for the main meals. The Yaupon iced tea caught our attention since it has indigenous tea with rotating fruit fusion so we ordered one just to try it. The risotto balls came out a little sooner than the other items. We loved the crispy outside, but not a huge fan of the inside since it was mostly risotto with not enough cheese or something to glue it all together. The sauce tasted like a fancy marinara - it was tart, lightly sweet, but a tad acidic and herby too. In our minds, we imagined our main plates looking differently, but I think it was mostly because we didn't do a good job of reading the menu. The pesto sandwich was good. The eggs reminded us a lot of a quiche-spongey and light. It did not have a strong pesto flavor. The roll seemed homemade; it was good and airy. The Dijon lemon chicken salad sandwich was okay. The chicken thighs chunks were tender, and I could definitely taste the pickles, lemon, and Dijon. I think it needed more salt or even something sweet to balance out the acidic flavors. The bread was well toasted. The fries were delicious with the right amount of salt, crispiness, and variety. The iced tea was not our favorite as it tasted overly sweet which might've removed any fruit flavor. The staff was very attentive, they have lots of tables and high chairs to choose from, and lots of natural sun coming through the large windows.

I don't like leaving bad reviews but this one is deserved. First of all the food is amazing but their "summer" menu seems far more limited than the non-summer menu. After being in Italy a few weeks ago this place is on par with many of the meals over there. It definitely has become drinks are fast to come out but food is slow. This has been true the last 2 times both in August. We had to ask our waitress for several things multiple times. It was a running joke that we asked for more bread 3x, butter 2x, another glass of wine 1x, and a side of sauce for the kids meal 1x. None of these ever showed up except for the wine. Then she disappeared for 20 minutes and never asked about our meals. Also, the kicker is one of the previous pics from 5 years ago is from the penne vodka with added chicken. We asked to add chicken again and for $9 we got one tiny thin cutlet which doesn't even compare. We love coming to this area but it might be our last time since there are so many good places. One other thought is when we first came in 2021 there was an older gentleman offering ice cream to all the kids. My kids loved it and always wanted to come back. It was great since they didn't charge us. Fast forward to 2026 and there was no ice cream in the building. We also heard the same guy arguing with another table that it took an hour for their food to come out and asked was it at least good lol.

I rarely post anything on yelp but I feel that I have to in this case. I visited this restaurant years ago and it was really good. The pizza and pasta and service at that time were top notch. I didn't visit Westerly last summer but I will be a lot this year. After looking at the reviews, I saw that this place is number 8, so I revisted. After my visit, I am shocked that this place is number 8 and I feel obligated to let people know about my experience. We went there towards the end of the night, they were closing in 30 minutes. We were made to feel like a huge inconvenience. The waitress actually said that they were closing soon, which I found rude. We could also hear her complaining to her co-workers that we were taking so long. She was very cold to us. On top of that, the pizza came out burnt and pasta was undercooked. We didn't complain because we already felt like we were annoying them enough. We will never be back. read more

The food was OK but the rude waitress ruined the experience for me. I waited a very long time before I was even greeted or acknowledged. I wanted a salad to start and then a pizza after that, which I told her. I ended up getting both at the same time. I asked for dressing on the side, and it came on it. When I mentioned this to the server, she gave me an attitude and said that I didn't tell her either thing. Apparently the customer is not always right at this establishment. read more

I was also told that they "didn't need the business" and "it's summer." I understand that a business may disagree with a negative review. I would have changed it if they asked kindly as I was ordering that night at 6. What surprised me was the response to a customer sharing a disappointing experience and unexpectedly hostile. I'm posting this because I believe how a business responds to criticism and customer feedback is relevant to the overall customer experience. I'm giving two stars rather than one because when I have been able to order their pizza, I've enjoyed it. My rating reflects the overall customer experience and how this situation was handled, not the quality of the pizza itself.

At the very least, I thought they would serve a good calamari since they serve point judith calamari. Unfortunately, I think the calamari (as well as my order of fries) was cooked in old oil. But even for the very dark color that my calamari was, there were multiple pieces that were still raw inside (tentacle pieces). I wasn't too concerned though so I ate them anyway. Big mistake because I started to feel ill afterwards. Five hours later, I am still suffering the consequences. For a $17 appetizer, it's also very basic. A drizzle of balsamic glaze and some peppers and lemons with a side of sauce. Overall regrettable. If you're ordering from this establishment, stick with the pizza and nothing else. Besides the food, the staff is actually great. It can get pretty busy at times so takeout is a great option.
