As we travel across middle America I continue to review Yelp and have not been disappointed. Today we wanted Italian and saw Nonna's. So, we went for dinner. Very nice inside. Old tunes playing and a great interior of an old building. Robert was our waiter who did a very nice job. Service was efficient and not pushy. My wife had a house salad she enjoyed. I ordered the compresse salad, it was delicious. My wife had spaghetti and meatballs. Spaghetti sauce was good. Meatballs were excellent. I had the Zara, or lasagna. The sauce was delicious. Lots of cheese with crunchiest which I love. I'd recommend Nonna's to everyone if Italian is your fancy in Spearfish. Thank you Nonna. read more

Nonna's Kitchen provides 5 Star experience that's Diamonds in Bluejeans. You get to be completely comfortable while getting excellent food and superior service. I'm new to the area, & had friends into visit so I hadn't experienced this gem yet. We started with drinks at the bar. Great bartender! Knowledgeable and efficient. I tried a lemon rum drink that stood up to my friends mojito but the Old Fashioned we all shared kicked ass! It was the real deal! Whew! The friends had pasta and I went for the Pork butt with peaches & champagne sauce with an incredible risotto. The sauce was amazing. They really liked their pasta but they gladly helped me with my generous portion of pork. They loved it too! I'll be bac read more

The food is absolutely delicious, the service is wonderful and it has an Italian ambiance. Great location on main street Spearfish

Probably the worst Italian food I've had in a long time. I ordered a side Caesar salad and Vodka Penne with sausage, while the dressing on the salad is good the romaine lettuce was wilted. The pasta was undercooked and the vodka sauce was really underwhelming. The sausage had the consistency of a hot dog. My friends ordered spaghetti and meatballs,. The pasta was undercooked as well and the sauce was bland and the meatballs were so so. These people are in desperate need of some mentoring from a real Italian cook. read more

My family ate here while passing through town because at brunch down the street, we could smell food cooking there and it smelled amazing! The food absolutely was amazing! Everyone got something different and we were all raving about the quality and taste! The restaurant was beautiful inside and the service was excellent! I highly recommend and if we pass through town again, this is a must repeat for us! read more

I found Nonna's Kitchen via the great Yelp reviews so I wanted to give it a try on my one night in Spearfish. I was very happy that I did. I was given realistic expectations regarding timeframe upon entering and given a table in the back at my request. The house red wine was very good, bread fresh and the pasta and sauce were spot on. I will be back and highly recommend this restaurant to others when in the area. read more

Great service and delicious Italian food. I am on a diet so I could not indulge but it was amazing. I had the meatballs and caprese salad..both were delicious. My wife had the penne alla vodka and she said it was one of the best. Even though this part of the US is known for steaks, it was great to get something different and delicious. read more

I've been so excited to try this place, as I used to go to little Italy in NYC and Boston often for food. My exhusbands family was from italy, and Italian food has become my comfort food. So when we went thru spearfish I stopped to order some take out for the ride home. I ordered canoli, meatballs and bread. I walked in to place my order, was told about 30 mins. So I sat down at the bar and waited for my food. The atmosphere was great... the kitchen seemed to work well with order coming in and the wait staff was very pleasant. My canoli was brought out about 10 mins before my meatballs. I received my food and out the door I went. I was beyond excited to share an Italian experience with my fiance. My canoli was runny and lacked flavor. Big choc chips were used so the balance of the small ones wasn't there. Meatballs were good. Bread was amazing. When I emailed the owner I was told that I shouldn't of let the canoli sit at the bar before I picked it up and should of refrigerated them right away. As I stated before, I walked in and placed my order and sat waiting but I'm being blamed for them being runny. As much as I would of loved to bring my family here for our family dinner outtings, I will look elsewhere. If I am going to drive an hour + for great food, it won't be to nonnas. read more

This was an impromptu stop on a quick trip to Spearfish. The interior of the restaurant is fantastic and the service exceeds it. The desserts are delicious and that's an understatement. I've been following on IG for quite a while and am ready to come back again. read more

Very cozy, well decorated Italian eatery. Our server, Bryant, was very friendly and helpful in describing the menu. They were out of a few of the menu items but Bryant gave us that heads up right away. The beer selection was a bit limited. The bread basket was delightful with a lovely butter olive tapenade. The lasagna was very good and I would highly recommend. The vodka penne was good and the cheesecake for dessert was very tasty. read more

We had a wonderful experience, went in for lunch and ordered the Bolognese for hubby and the daily special for me. Truffle Carbonara with Pancetta & Mushrooms. Both were exceptionally delicious. Our server Sam was very professional and courteous. Excellent food, service and ambience. Hopefully, we will be back before we leave town. read more

Loved the old-style Italian decor. Very cozy. The staff were very attentive. The food was delicious. We had the ravioli and penne alla vodka. Would definitely come again! read more

Okay so I admit that I am put off by pretentious names and that by declaring a place "Grandmother's " kitchen doesn't necessarily mean my grandmother's kitchen , I do think the owner's could at least take ownership of whose grandmother this is. But my wife , whose Sicilian born grandmother, shared family recipes and culinary secrets, wanted to try it for dinner. So we met some out of state neighbors there on a Wednesday at five PM. We were familiar with the building and not surprised much by the layout and decor: see and be seen, literally. Huge windows with no shades or curtains so the afternoon sun glare off the fresh snow was a bit of a problem. Also, the place was far from cozy in that it was a little chilly and empty. I had attempted to review their online menu but noted that it had not been updated since the fall of 2021. In reviewing their current menu I was not surprised that while few new items were added what was really added was a big price increase. I ordered penne pasta with the vodka reduced marinara and added sausage. While the pasta was cooked a little more than I would have liked, the sauce was delicious. For the $8 upcharge, I'd skip the sausage. My wife ordered the lasagna noodle dish which to me looked disorganized and quite heavy but she enjoyed what she could manage {1\2} making this the perfect split an entree selection. She also ordered and enjoyed the house red until she saw the $14 charge for an unremarkable blend. Starting with one wait person and ending with another also has its drawback as there was no chance for accountability on menu descriptions or recommdations. Overall I can say that I have checked this one off my list. read more

Best pasta I've had in awhile. They brought out bread and butter while we were waiting. Pasta was 10/10. I got the Alfredo. The pasta came out in probably 10 minutes. Everyone was friendly. There weren't many people so it was quiet inside. The lighting was very nice. They also had an upstairs. 10/10 overall. read more

It's an okay restaurant. Nothing fancy! There were 6 of us and the service was mediocre at best. Forgot to bring our parmesan cheese and he's the one that offered it! A very small restaurant with live music during dinner. The menu was very limited. Not what we are accustomed too! read more

The bread is fantastic and the food was delicious It's a great spot in the center of town read more

My husband and I came in for a late lunch and let me tell you, this place has literally the best food I have ever had in my life. I order the Penne alla Vodka, hubby order the Bolognese, and we got a cup of the soup of the day to share. WOW WOW WOW so good. Darien, who is a co owner along with his wife, showed us to our seat (what a sweet guy), and our waitress Katie was awesome and very efficient. These guys have the best food and I would recommend it to anyone travelling to South Dakota to make it a point to stop here. The food, the people and the experience was so good that Hubby & I talked about moving here from WI. If I could rate this 1000/10 I would read more

Absolutely delicious! Green spaghetti with shrimp, Bolognese with meatballs, caprese salad.

This was a fantastic experience. Great menu , great food, and wonderful service. We had the soup of the day, salmon, fettuccine, and lemon cake for dessert. read more

We were in town visiting for the weekend. The food was tasty but the service wasn't great. Our waitress took 15 minutes to take our drink orders and then another 20 to take our food orders. I never received the appetizer I ordered. There was a party in the back that apparently was taking all the resources from the main dining room because I noticed other patrons a bit annoyed as well. Out waitress kept leaving the restaurant to go out front and "handle a parking situation" as she described it. Anyway- again, food was very good but service was pretty bad. Seems to be a common theme based on other reviews. read more

Second time here and I have never been so disappointed. Two of our pastas were not fresh. They were reheated up. I have never seen fettuccine Alfredo that wasn't creamy. It was oily and separated. Only can be achieved by reheating in microwave. Other pasta was the same noodles were hard and rubbery. We almost walked out. I would be ashamed. Never going back and telling everyone around the deadwood lead area. The drinks were good. The app we had was good but not worth the money. Same read more
