Sometimes you finish a Pilates workout and suddenly your body knows exactly what it wants. After…read moremy workout, I was craving some good, healthy carbs--and this spot ended up being exactly what I needed. It turned out to be the perfect lunch spot for catching up with friends. I ordered the pizza and chicken panini, and both completely hit the spot. Just the right kind of satisfying after a workout without feeling too heavy. My friends went for the penne and cacio e pepe, and honestly, both were very, very good too. We ended up sharing bites, catching up, and taking our time over lunch--the kind of meal where you realize you've been sitting there talking for way longer than you planned. Definitely adding this one to my list of spots for a relaxed lunch with friends.

Nonna is a great choice when you want Italian food that feels genuinely homemade without turning…read moredinner into an all-night production. The menu has some interesting options, the food came out quickly, and the service was very good. Quick take: Get the Chilean Sea Bass special if it is available, the homemade pastas, and the Prosciutto Rucola e Grana Pizza. Skip the meatballs. Know that nearly all the pasta is made in-house, while the spaghetti and penne are imported from Italy (if I'm remembering correctly) The Chilean Sea Bass special was the standout and absolutely worth ordering when offered. Since specials change, I would ask about it before getting too attached, but this would be my first choice. Everyone I was with agreed it was standout and wished they ordered it. The pastas are another strength. I do not like cream, and the server told me they could remove those ingredients, which gave me considerably more flexibility with the menu. It is also worth knowing that the spaghetti and penne are the one exception to the house-made pasta because they are shipped in from Italy. The cocktails were creative and interesting, although almost too sweet for me. Service was friendly and efficient. The only real drawback is that the dining room feels cramped, so this is not the place to go if you need a lot of personal space. Overall, Nonna delivers interesting Italian food, excellent homemade pasta and good service.

Took my wife here for her birthday and overall had a really good experience with a couple hiccups…read more We were greeted right away by the hostess, who was warm and welcoming and even wished my wife a happy birthday -- nice touch. We were initially seated outside next to a family with two young kids who were pretty loud. Totally understandable (we have kids too), but we were hoping for a more relaxed, cozy night. Our waitress was great from the start. After ordering the fritto misto calamari (which was good), we asked if we could move inside since it was pretty hot out. I do wish we had been seated inside from the beginning, especially for a birthday dinner. Once inside, the experience completely changed for the better, much more intimate and exactly what we were looking for. We also got a red wine from the Pursued by Bear line (don't remember the exact one, but it had a bold bear on the label) -- smooth, full-bodied, and went really well with the pasta. I got the cacio e pepe and my wife ordered the strozzapreti. Hers was definitely the standout -- the pasta was soft and the red sauce had a lot more flavor than I expected, especially since I don't usually go for red sauce. My cacio e pepe was still good, just a bit simpler. For dessert, we had the vanilla panna cotta and Nonna's cake -- both solid and a nice way to end the night. Overall, a really good experience. The service and indoor ambiance definitely made the night.

Great hospitality and high quality ingredients!…read more We tried Marcello for the first time last weekend. Overall, we enjoyed our experience but we felt there were some areas for improvement. Located in a strip mall on Hillcrest Drive, this restaurant is highly accessible and parking is ample on the front. Our host told us that this restaurant is nicely situated to view the fireworks on July 4th, which we planned to come back for the second time. The menu is simple and standard. We ordered the fried calamari as appetizer, and a shrimp pasta and meat pasta for entrees. The pasta was soft and tasted homemade, but the seasoning felt a little light. The calamari was flavorful but felt generic. Another aspect that also stood out is the lack of music or lighting to set the ambiance. While I liked the table setting, the ambiance felt a bit stark. With so many Italian restaurants in our neighborhood, I feel there needs to be some tweaking in the menu offerings, service, and ambiance for it to stand out. With the high prices and good quality ingredients, the restaurant has the potential to become top tier with some tweaking. Our meal came to about $100, which was reasonable for the quality and service. We will be on 7/4 to try other menu items.

Today, our group of ten visited this restaurant on the recommendation of our friends, who spoke…read morevery highly of it, so we decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, the experience left us extremely disappointed. The biggest issue was the unprofessional service and attitude of our waiter, Emmanuel. First, the wrong dish was brought to our table. We actually suspected that something was wrong, so we specifically asked Emmanuel if this was the exact dish we had ordered. He confidently said yes. However, when we received the bill, we noticed that the dish listed had a completely different name and was clearly not what we had ordered. What was especially disappointing that when we pointed out the mistake, the waiter barely reacted and did not seem concerned about the error. On top of that, a 20% tip was automatically added to our bill, which we paid. Other service issues also occurred. Our child was served a completely different dish than what she ordered. We also had to wait an unusually long time for one of our drinks, and it was only brought after we reminded the waiter about it couple of times. For a restaurant of this level and price range, we expected much better service, attention to detail, and management oversight. We were fully prepared to pay for a good experience, the price itself was not the issue. The problem was that we paid for what we ordered but did not actually receive it, and when we brought the mistake to the waiter's attention, it was handled as if it were not important. We left the restaurant feeling extremely disappointed, and, honestly, somewhat misled. This is a one-star review, and I strongly believe the management needs to pay much closer attention to the quality of service, staff training, and overall supervision of the restaurant. !!!!! So overall, we completely do not recommend this restaurant!!!!!!!

Everyone was well-dressed, there was a live solo musician walking around playing guitar and singing, and the atmosphere was absolutely fantastic. One of the coolest features is the wine setup right in the middle of the restaurant. You simply choose a bottle and the pour you want, with an incredible selection ranging from very affordable to high-end bottles. It's a great way to try different wines without having to commit to buying an entire bottle. This place is perfect for a date night. The service was exceptional, and the atmosphere really makes the experience. Now for the food. I tried the Pollo Jodori, and it was friggin' phenomenal! The Cacio e Pepe was also really good, and the lobster corn dogs were definitely something different. They were good, but honestly, part of the appeal is the experience of trying something unique. Great wine, amazing atmosphere, excellent service, and some really interesting food. I'll definitely be back!

Extremely disappointing experience -- especially for a birthday celebration…read more We chose this restaurant to celebrate my birthday and made a reservation specifically for the occasion. I mentioned the birthday when making the reservation, and my brother even brought flowers to the restaurant for me. There was absolutely no question that this was a special celebration. Unfortunately, the entire experience felt careless and poorly managed. Our server took away our wine glasses and left us with only water glasses. We waited for quite a while, and eventually had to ask for wine glasses just so we could use the self-service wine machines -- which are one of the main features that attract people to this restaurant in the first place. It was frustrating to have to ask for something as basic as a wine glass in a restaurant built around a wine experience. The service throughout the meal was consistently inattentive. Utensils were brought late multiple times, and after our dishes were changed, we had to sit and wait for utensils before we could even start eating. My daughter's pasta order was also brought incorrectly. But what made the experience particularly disappointing was how completely ignored our special occasion was. Despite the birthday being noted in the reservation and the obvious presence of birthday flowers, there was not even a simple "Happy Birthday" from the restaurant. We were not expecting anything extravagant -- just a basic acknowledgment that would have shown some attention and hospitality. Then came the final unpleasant surprise: we were charged an additional large-party fee. Our group was 4 adults and 2 children -- 6 people total. We have dined at many restaurants with a group of this size and have never been charged an additional fee like this without it being clearly communicated and justified. Considering the level of service we received, seeing an unexpected extra charge on the bill was especially disappointing. What should have been a memorable birthday dinner instead felt like an afterthought. The issue was not one small mistake. Mistakes happen. The problem was the combination of poor service, lack of attention, incorrect food, the complete lack of acknowledgment of a birthday that was clearly communicated in advance, and finally an unexpected additional charge. For a restaurant that presents itself as an experience rather than simply a place to eat, I expected much more professionalism and hospitality. Unfortunately, this is not a place I would choose again for a special occasion, and based on this experience, I would have a hard time recommending it to others.

**Utter Disappointment**…read more I followed the strong reviews and decided to try Magma Pizzeria for takeout through DoorDash. I ordered the Queen Margherita with added cheese and pepperoni. The pizza arrived about 20-30 minutes later, and while delivery temperature can affect a pie, it usually cannot hide whether the pizza itself is well-made. Unfortunately, this one missed the mark. The box had oil pooling on one side, which was not a great first sign. The crust was cooked around the edges, but the center was thin, soft, and doughy underneath. The added cheese and pepperoni were far too salty together, almost as if they belonged to a different pizza entirely, rather than working with the Margherita base. The basil was strong, which I expected from a Margherita-style pizza, but what felt missing were the diced or sliced tomatoes. Instead, it came across more like red sauce with heavy pizza seasoning, and not in a good way. Overall, the pizza felt rushed and should not have left the kitchen in that condition. I wanted to like it based on the reviews, but this was not a good pie. I'm hoping for better pizza options in the Camarillo/Thousand Oaks area moving forward. I won't be back.
