So we ended up going over here the following night for dinner and I think it's important to note that there are two dining locations. One is kind of the basic alley that you would expect there are a few booth seats and the bar area in the front, when you walk all the way to the back is when you'll find the Chianti room, which is a full dining restaurant with full table service. We chose to sit in the front portion of it, which at first glance looked like they were closed, but they have one server that servicing both the bar area and the tables in the front. They have a pretty extensive menu definitely Italian heavy. We got an order of the breadsticks and then we split an order of the chicken fettuccine Alfredo. The breadsticks were OK very dense and felt a little dry. The chicken Alfredo was very good. Alfredo sauce was delicious. It actually was perfect to dip the breadsticks in to give them more moisture. Chicken is really well grilled loved that it was not breaded as so many locations do breaded chicken with their Alfredo versus grilled like this location does. They do do happy hour from 3 to 6 and probably one of the best happy hour deals. As when you order a drink you get a free slice of cheese pizza. Not sure if it's just because it's low season that they're running a special but definitely a great deal.

I…read morestarted with a Caprese salad that was made with Burrata cheese instead of mozzarella which I really liked and the tomatoes were excellent but no basil and no balsamic vinegar, just olive oil. My entree was shrimp scampi - the sauce was like soup, the fettuccine noodles were stuck together and the shrimp had the tails on (a pet peeve of mine - why do you need to leave the tails on so the customer has to touch the food to get them off)? The worst was my wife's chicken parmigiana, it was served in a sweet brown cream sauce that I'm still trying to get the taste out of my mouth. The chicken was just okay but it had skin and bones on it. She could only eat about 10% of it and of course we didn't take it home.

The service was pretty good, I can admit, however even that could've been better. We got started with our evening with a bottle of wine which was reasonably priced. The house arancini was chicken stuffed, which we were only told about after we ordered the dish. Sadly, the chicken pieces were large and there was just not enough cheese to really make this dish work - nor enough sauce. I even got a piece of bone in my arancini, which just ruined my appetite. We then had decided on the chicken parm for the main course (which later we realized was rather similar to the arancini). The first chicken parm piece that was got was rather large in size, however as we cut into the dish we noticed that half of the meat was still pink and cold to the touch. We showed our waiter, and instead of treating us with some empathy, we were told that "well its not our fault, but I've been trying to tell the guys in the back to pound the meat before cooking it." We were given another piece of chicken, and it was only slightly better than the first piece, but we ate a few bites and called it an evening. It's too bad, I'd be willing to try this place out for other dishes but I don't know if I'll choose this place again, knowing there are other options nearby. The best part of the evening was the ambiance and the wine, so maybe a happy hour in the future is in order.

Place was less busy than we expected so it was a perfect time to grab lunch. Our friendly server was a cute girl with neon pink hair.

Parking around the afternoon was less packed than we expected and we landed a spot near the side exit. The drinks were brought over quickly. The mule was strong and cold (just how I like it) and the mint was fresh. Garlic knots arrived first and were even better than the previous take out orders we've had with Bronxhouse.

Pizza and calzone arrived at the same time and as we expected, pizza was delicious (crunchy crust, gooey cheese). The calzone was tasty and served in a huge amount so I could only eat one bites before feeling super full (from all the appetizers!). Our total with generous tip was about $100 and it was worth every cent. Thanks to our server and the chefs for a friendly, delicious dining experience. We will definitely be back again

We were a group of 10 with reservations. The place was not full at all. Front desk receptionist was clueless she looked like she was 14 yrs old. Took forever to get our order. My husband and I ordered a large chicken salad and I the onion soup and meatballs. Everyone got the appetizers and the main entry at about the same time. We had nothing. I called the waiter many times and when they had almost finished their meal we got our salad and soup (which was cold by the way). I never got the meatball and they had the nerve to charge me for them. The music was loud. The piano player had one tune and since they had the doors open some bimbos came into the place and decided to sing along with him with terrible loud voices and the owner did nothing. The food was passable I guess, as per the comments of our friends I got to taste cold onion soup One good bottle of wine but when we asked for one more they did not have anything comparable. Stay away from this restaurant I believe they are struggling to stay open read more

First, I will say that my partner and I are both Sicilian and we know good Italian when we find it. I am vegan, he is not. Enough about us! What an amazing experience. The server, Britney, was as friendly as can be and she took my vegan diet seriously and spoke to the chef. The chef created a beautiful vegan meal for me and even went as far as to cook everything separate to avoid cross contamination of non vegan items. The chef was excited to come out and meet us after and explain his entire process from the sauce to the veggies and you could tell the challenge quenched his passion for cooking! The food was very, very good. The wine was wonderful and the outdoor atmosphere was beautiful. What a fun way to celebrate my birthday. Oh, I didn't even tell them it was my birthday, because I wanted an honest experience. We were satisfied all around! I hope they incorporate more vegan options as menu standards! The food was sooooo good! read more

We had some challenges finding a restaurant with availability and ended up at Nonna's due to their earliest seating time. While the service was friendly and efficient, it felt slightly rushed, likely due to the high demand. Unfortunately, the food didn't meet expectations. The highlight of the meal was the complimentary bread, which was fresh and enjoyable. However, the chicken parmigiana was grilled rather than traditionally prepared, which detracted from the flavor. The calamari was just average and not particularly memorable. Overall, the dishes could have been better. The atmosphere was adequate, though we were seated outside on a particularly cold evening. Thankfully, heaters were provided, but it still wasn't entirely comfortable. While I appreciated the attentive staff, the overall experience left much to be desired. I'm not sure I would return. read more

Was recommended this restaurant for authentic Italian by a carriage driver who also does a tasting tour. We were NOT disappointed! It can be easy to miss being on the end of Aviles street away from the main bustle of the historic district, but it is a hidden gem! We had spaghetti and meatballs and shrimp fettuccini. Fried Calamari to start and these obviously didn't come out of a bag. Golden brown and you could cut them with a spoon which is incredible for calamari. Spice on the meatballs were amazing and the shrimp were huge! Best tiramisu I've ever had. The owner came out and talked to us personally and is very sincere and you can tell he cares about his Patron's experience. Highly recommend and can not wait to go back. It's a smaller restaurant with limited seating so I'd make a reservation to make the most of your experience. read more

Since the whole COVID-19 thing has been going on, we were the only people there, but it made it all the better. The owner and chef, Adamo, was incredibly nice and romanced our table the whole night. NOT TO MENTION THE FOOD. Best food I have ever tasted. I asked him what the best thing on the menu was and he recommended the Chicken Alfredo or the classic Spaghetti and Meatballs (although in his words, "the whole menu could win awards"). The bread is house made and divine. Every single thing I put in my mouth tasted like it came from the heavens. Definitely would recommend to everyone. read more

Adamo is a wonderful business owner with a kind heart and a giving soul. During these times with the pandemic he is helping the unemployed by giving one free meal per person. Those who are able, are encouraged to pay $15 per entree. This enables the free meals to those currently in need of assistance. Please go out and support local businesses during this time, and tip your servers!
