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

10/10 this was some of the best, authentic Italian food I've had outside of Italy. My husband brought me for an early afternoon birthday dinner. It could not have been more perfect. The staff is helpful and friendly. Idk how they managed to struck the right balance of attentive while letting us linger/digest. We came after a day of wine tasting so I stuck to carbs to absorb the alcohol since I'm not a big drinker. I ordered the margherita pizza and my husband had the rigatoni alla diavola. Once you order, they bring out a complimentary basket of delicious bread with oil and vinegar. If you want more, there is an additional charge. The food was phenomenal. My husband asked for his pasta to be made extra spicy and they delivered. For dessert, they surprised me with a cannoli. Not only was it divine, but so was the tiramisu and crème brûlée. I couldn't pick just one so I ordered it all! Absolutely spectacular. Highly recommend. Plenty of free parking in the parking lot. The restrooms were clean and well stocked. 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

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

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

One of the best authentic Italian experiences in Riverside county/Murrieta! Enjoyed the atmosphere, had low lighting so felt very romantic, I had a pleasant romantic night with my girlfriend and her birthday dinner. Prices are as expected, not that expensive but the food is definitely worth their prices. Delicious authentic Italian cuisine and their staff is very attentive, respectful, and friendly. I got a gnocchi alla bolognese and my beautiful girlfriend got a rigatoni alla Diavola, some of the most delicious pasta dishes we've had! We'll definitely be coming back as regulars for another romantic date night with my love. read more

Wednesday date night at Nonno's is a great time and a great value! Food is excellent, wine is delicious, ambiance is elegant and romantic, and the desert is great. Our small group had Chicken Parmigiana, Chicken Marsala, Pollo Carciofi, Cesar Salad, Spumoni, Chocolate Cake, and a couple bottles of wine. The manager and waiter were on point, and we were never left wanting. They did not try to upsell from the Wed Date Night special menu, but were completely knowledgeable about the entire menue and offerings. The Wed special menue had more choices than last time we came. All that we had were delicious! read more

This restaurant is number one in Italian cuisine. Their staff is super helpful, friendly, and professional. They don't waste any time getting drinks and bread to your table; the food is delivered expediently and I've never had a bad plate. Matthew is one of the best waiters we've ever run across. Thank you for having an outstanding place to go to. Five star all the way! read more

Made an online reservation for a party of 7 on the Nonno's website (They use a 3rd party booking site & it was a simple process!) less than 24 hours before our desired dinner time. (Added an 8th guest to our party last minute!) We were celebrating my daughters' high school graduation and 2 birthdays. Reservation was for 7pm, we arrived at 6:50pm- table was already beautifully set up & got seated right away! The manager (I assume since he was so attentive & sweet but I don't recall his name) and our server, Mario, made us feel so very welcomed! Excellent dining service! Classy and quaint! I also want to give a HUGE compliment to the young man who assisted Mario- (I failed to get his name as well). I surmise he was the "runner", but he was so very polite and attentive!! Food was delicious!!! 10 out of 10 Nonno's was the absolute cherry on top for our 3 celebrations!! read more

My cousin and I were so impressed with everything-- the food, service, and ambiance were great. We loved all the little details from the Acqua Panna on the table to the tiramisu! Would definitely recommend and want to return with my family! 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

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.

My daughter and I decided on Nonnon's for Valentines Day dinner. All of the 5 star reviews gave us high expectations for the restaurant and they definitely delivered. We ordered the pre-fix menu priced at $288 for Valentine's Day, a bit pricey but the food quality was absolutely worth it. The Lobster bisque was definitely my favorite, very flavorful and rich, would order that to take home it was so good. Each of us ordered filet mignon, and both were cooked perfectly medium rare. I truly thought that was one of the best filet's I've had in a very long time! Desert left a little to be desired, but by the time we even got to that point we were completely satisfied from the rest of the meal. The atmosphere was beautiful, intimate, and well decorated for Valentine's Day. The waitstaff was extremely friendly, thoughtful, and definitely made us feel happy to spend our holiday there. The owner even popped around the restaurant to check on each table. Definitely would recommend read more

Decided to take our mom to this Italian Restaurant in Murrieta, had read reviews and got to tell you when I told the host , waiter, manager that you usually go to Gourmet Italian in Temecula he told us after today will not go back to them. Very very impressed for someone that travels overseas and originally from Argentina, hard to find good good Italian food. We all cleaned our plates. Their sparking white peach flavor wine a must. Excellent service read more

very pleasant manager and staff. desent food quality and reasonable prices. We were party of four and had a great experience.

This restaurant is completely overrated!! It's Mexican themed not Italian. Caesar salad was good. Pork osso buco instead of lamb BS! "House special" lobster ravioli is average. My salmon was overcooked and asked for all veggies, no potatoes....they charged an extra side. House made gnocchi was so so. And they kept pressing to sell their expensive alcohol/drinks. There are other authentic Italian restaurants.... I don't recommend this place! read more

Great food, great atmosphere, great staff was recommended by a friend.We'll definitely visit this place again

Excellent food and great ambience. Definitely recommend the chicken Marsala and Caesar salad.

We had an excellent experience at Nonno's in Murrieta. We were a party of 7 on a Sunday evening. Our server was extremely friendly and kind, offered excellent recommendations, and made us feel very welcome. Everything we ordered was excellent. We appreciated the many gluten free options, the lighter options (the Mediterranea salad is delicious and a very healthy option which also happens to be gf if you are looking for that). All of the pasta dishes and seafood dishes received raves from our group as well. There was nothing we did not enjoy. As Murrieta is a convenient halfway meetup for our family, we will definitely return. Highly recommended. read more

THE BEST! This is our go to restaurant for special occasions. The food is like no other Italian restaurants in the area, and the service is first class. You're treated like family and like a rock star at the same time. Highest of recommendations, and I'm a tough critic when it comes to Italian food! read more

Enjoyed my birthday dinner tonight. The Old Fashions were very good. I had the fettuccine mare and my boyfriend had the gnocchi with vodka sauce. We thoroughly enjoyed both. The waiter saw a birthday card on the table and brought us a cannoli which again was scrumptious. The best meal I have had in a very long time. read more

Amazing food, great service, I can't wait to go back. We came late on a Saturday evening, restaurant was busy but still able to accommodate us without a reservation. Decided on the Ravioli Di Manzo and the Fettuccini Alfredo. Both dishes were exceptional, you can taste the freshness and the authenticity of the food. The Alfredo was light and rich at the same time and not overly cheesy. The Marsala sauce on the ravioli was divine and perfectly balanced. We ended up ordering a bowl of the mushroom soup that was on special and it was crafted of puréed mushroom and cream. Amazing. I can't wait to return to try the spaghetti and meatballs and lasagna. Service from the team was great without being overwhelming. read more
