Service was great, hidden gem in Murrieta for Italian dining! Would go back again. They also have gluten free pasta if needed for allergies

The rosemary pasta was one of my favorite pasta dishes ever. Super fragrant and not overpowering in the slightest. The seafood was perfectly cooked and I cant wait to come back and try more dishes. The restaurant was very warm and inviting and the staff were all so friendly! read more

Nonno's Ristorante - Fettuccine Mare e Monti - Italian Near Me - Murrieta, California

Nonno's has been our favorite Italian restaurant for over five years. But our last two visits were disappointing. The food is above average but no longer FiveStar good. Their Lasagna, one of my favorites... seemed dry, perhaps extensively overheated. The Chicken Parmigiana was overcooked, so dry and crispy. It was difficult to cut with a knife. And the pasta was served with broccoli which was tough and also impossible to cut. But perhaps the biggest disappointment was a feeling of being rushed through our meal after being seated for less than 45 minutes. We had not one, but four different servers ask if we wanted boxes even as we were still eating. Just because someone pauses for a moment does not mean the meal is over. And our Check was presented immediately with our dessert. Huh? It created Zero ambiance. The evening felt like a stopwatch clocking our time at the table. And no, we didn't come close to the obligatory 1 1/2 hours allocated for our reservation. read more

Not so great My 5 year old kid chocked and everyone from the staff acted business as usual, no one offered to help Call 911 or even any sort of assistance. Very frustrating and disappointing. In case anyone from the company is reading this, it was a while ago. read more

So I've been to Nonnos before and I wasn't left with a 5 star experience; however, I like the ambiance of the restaurant. It's great for a romantic evening out. So my hubby and I set out to try it again. The service was great, very inviting! The restaurant is always beautiful. The food and desserts are standard Italian fare. The fried calamari we had was very rubbery. All in all, it was a 4 star evening. read more

My husband and I LOVE this spot. The last time we came was back in March for my birthday. It's worth the 30+ minute drive. They make the pasta and bread fresh in house daily. The last time I came, I had a pizza. This time I was determined to try the pasta. I was torn between five options (first world problems). I was able to narrow it down to two. Our server, Mark, was phenomenal. He highly recommended the Ravioli di Manzo. It was *chefs kiss* I mean, the second they placed the plate down in front of me I began to chow down. I was in my own world. I felt like an a hole because they had to ask me several times if I wanted cheese or fresh cracked pepper haha. It was just perfect as is. The world around me ceased to exist for a brief moment. My husband loved the Rigatoni Diavola so much last time that he got it again. He said it was exactly as he remembered. As much as we tried not to get too full, it was impossible. Ended up ordering a cannoli to go. This is definitely our go to spot for Italian food. read more

I guess it's been a while since I've been here. We came today for lunch and took advantage of their $22.99 three course lunch menu. Great deal. Bread, salad, entree and cannelloni for dessert. Bread and salad, perfect. Chicken Marsala was soaked in a delicious sauce and chicken was tender and moist. Took dessert to go because I was too full. Cannelloni shell was crisp, not hard. Filling was creamy and not too sweet. Pretty good! We are fortunate to have a few good Italian restaurants to enjoy here in Temecula. read more

Tuesday, 3-17-2026: Happy St. Patrick's Day! We met up with good friends here for lunch. I hadn't been here since 2014 with a former ladies meet up & we celebrated my birthday. I received a delicious cannoli that day. I love the decor, which was eclectic with a touch of Old World aesthetics very tastefully done. We noticed upon entry there is a foyer-like section with additional tables for overflow guests. We were greeted & seated by our friendly server, Matthew. We were served delicious, hot bread with dipping sauce that helped keep our hunger at bay. It was a bit of a wait for the food to come out but it was worth the wait! I ordered the Polpette Al Forno, which was three hefty meatballs in marinara sauce accompanied by bread. It was so flavorful & filling that I could only finish one & a half meatballs. We all agreed the food was excellent and Matthew provided us with superb service. He was funny, friendly & attentive. He resembled my former supervisor in the USAFR-LOL! We will definitely need to come back & I won't wait another decade either! read more

This is a PERFECT restaurant. Would give it 10 stars if I could. Wonderful dark ambiance, staff that is a well oiled machine and absolutely delicious food! My husband and I were floored by how good it was. Do not hesitate...go to Nonno's for your next dinner out! read more

We come here frequently typically 2 to 3 times a month. Our service is usually good to great. Since they've set such a high bar and standard when I get fair service, I am disappointed. We were there last night for a 7:30 PM reservation. our server while efficient was not particularly friendly and seemed to hurry me along as I asked, clarifying questions regarding the specials, compared to the date night menu. for me, it's all about the ambience. Our candle was never lit. I finally moved it from the center of the table because I was becoming increasingly annoyed. my plate was never cleared after I finished my first course several people walked past the table and did not remove it until the main course was brought over. read more

It's been a very busy month and a half after retirement and we forgot to celebrate our friend's birthday. So Jen made the decision to go to Nonno's Ristorante for dinner. We'd seen the establishment before but never stopped in until now. It's a cozy restaurant reminiscent of the small family restaurants you'd see in Italy. Service was prompt, courteous and friendly. Our meals were very good. We ordered the Spaghetti alla Napoletana (3 homemade beef meatballs, garlic marinara sauce, basil) with a Caesar Salad (Romaine lettuce, croutons, Parmigiano cheese and Caesar dressing). Washed ot down with a Peroni. All in all, an amazing night with delicious food celebrating with friends. read more

Ambiance is super relaxed, candle lit, with sparkling waters on the table Food is great! Ordered the fried calamari and peppers We loved it! They grind fresh pepper to your liking Service was a little slow on the food but the wait was worth it I got the Alfredo tortellini with crispy chicken ($7 reg chicken $12 for crispy chicken) thought the price was a little high for the crispy because salmon was $12 also But it was delicious, perfectly seasoned Husband got lobster ravioli in white wine sauce which he loved. Very fresh and creamy read more

Wonderful, food , nice ambiance, would recommend to try it it won't disappoint. Desserts are delicious.

Some girlfriends and I were enjoying a few day at the hot springs nearby, and decided to venture off-site for dinner. Everything at Nonno's was perfect. The waiter was helpful and cheerful and we all raved about our drinks and dinner. I tried the daily special chioppino. The fish was perfect and the sauce was very flavorful. The wine selection seemed good, and although slightly pricey, they give a very generous pour by the glass. read more

Great food, very consistently great food all the time. I understand pricing had to go up but that's ok when you get great service and amazing food. One of the best Italian spots in Temecula for years on end. read more

Stopped by on a Friday evening, beautiful ambiance. Nice and clean. Outstanding service from busser, to waiter, to manager. Everyone stopped by to check in at some point and to see if I needed anything. Complimentary bread comes to the table after menus are removed and is served with olive oil and vinegar. I ordered the calamari. I thought it was cooked well. Personally, it did need some salt, Cajun, or cayenne. I wanted a little more to compliment the Marinara sauce. For my entree I had the spicy rigatoni. The consistency of the sauce and texture was perfect. I was expecting it to be spicy and it fell a little flat for me. I think chili oil could add a pop to it. Otherwise, the quality and portion was great. I had the chocolate mouse cake and it didn't stand a chance. The layers of the cake melted in your mouth and you can really appreciate the different layers. Overall I'd love to come back and try other dishes. Wonderful experience. read more

Stumbled on this place on our way home to NorCal, and were greeted with delicious pasta, I had the vodka rigatoni and my uncle and dad had the spaghetti with clams and the seafood spaghetti. All was fresh and they had a lot of seafood portions in each of the plates. Julian was our server and he was very kind, attentive, and extremely professional. Absolutely great guy with impeccable service. He recommended the affogato for dessert which was also delicious and authentic, made with Lavazza espresso and real Italian gelato. Highly recommended coming here for any occasion, but the ambiance was perfect for business meetings, date nights, birthdays, or weekend get togethers, but definitely worth coming to when celebrating something special too. The food was fresh and you could feel the passion on the cooking, the restaurant itself was clean and fancy, but also home-y and cozy, with lots of outdoor seating as well, and the workers like Julian made the entire experience of this first time here awesome! Great vibes all around. Again, highly recommended coming! Thanks again to Julian, Mark, and Francesco! Grazie mille! Torneremo presto! read more

I would definitely recommend making a reservation because this place is popular for a reason. The food was absolutely amazing! I had the lobster ravioli, and whatever was in that sauce was so good I could have honestly enjoyed it by itself . The bread was also delicious. I also tried the branzino, which was so good considering I had never had it before. Everything we tried was full of flavor and exceeded my expectations. The staff was amazing and constantly checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Jessica was our bartender, and she truly made the experience even better. Her customer service was incredible, and her food recommendations were spot on. We ended up staying much longer than we expected because we were having such a good time, and honestly, we didn't even want to leave! read more

This restaurant is by far, the best Italian in area. They have amazing dishes with generous portions along with a great local wine list.

I ate here with a friend on Saturday night and had a good experience overall. The place is very cozy, has charm and would be a cute date night place (I think they have date night deal on Wednesday actually). The server is attentive and came to check on us often, refilling our waters as well. The food we got was good, it was tasty but I do feel like it could have wowed me more for the price. I would definitely eat here again- maybe wait for a Wednesday and take advantage of the date night deal. read more

The best kept secret in Temecula valley when it comes to restaurants. Nono's is so good. If you live in the area and haven't been you need to go. The food is incredible, the staff is great and the atmosphere is awesome. It is the perfect place to bring your significant other, or your group of friends or family. Back to the food, I think best Italian if not top 2 restaurant in Southern California. You must stop in and grab food! read more

I was really excited to try this restaurant after hearing so many great things, but unfortunately our experience was disappointing. We arrived around 7 PM as a party of three (my husband, our young daughter, and myself). We didn't have a reservation, but the host offered us a patio table, which we gladly accepted. We also requested a high chair, which was provided. After being seated, a busser came by to bring and refill water, but no server ever greeted us. We waited about 30 minutes total without anyone taking our order or even acknowledging us. During that time, we noticed another couple who was seated after us was greeted promptly, had their order taken, received bread, and even got their salad, all while we were still waiting. Since we had our toddler with us and were getting increasingly hungry, we decided to leave. I completely understand that restaurants can get busy, but not being acknowledged at all for that long, especially when others seated after us were helped was frustrating and disappointing. I was really looking forward to trying this place, but this experience left a bad first impression. read more

We ended up eating here after getting spring family photos. The food was amazing, service was fine. We ate on the patio that is right before the entrance and had a lovely time. This would be a great place for a date or romantic dinner. Next time l would love to sit inside just to see the interior. I had a burrata salad and the fettuccini bolognese. Husband had a caesar salad and the beef and vegetable entree. Both were good and we would come back for the food alone. We didn't order a dessert but hopefully next time. This is one of those restaurants that made a good impression on us but we haven't simply been back due to life happenings. But this is a good option that l plan to take out of town guests to. read more

Went here yesterday afternoon and honestly -- WOW. I ordered a couple of Old Fashioneds, the Carciofini Croccanti appetizer, the Branzino for my main, and tiramisu for dessert. I cleaned every single plate. Everything was absolutely delicious. The vibe is quaint, intimate, and perfect for a date or a special occasion. The service was great -- friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel effortless.

I wanted to try this place a second time to make sure and it did not disappoint. Amazing service. Quality food. A true restaurant with the intent of pleasing its guests. The lasagna, lobster ravioli and artichoke starter are so delicious. Their house Cabernet the diamanté, is my new favorite. The only thing I wish I could change about this place is its location. It should be in old town or somewhere with more character. Too good of a restaurant for a strip mall read more
