Nonna | Tabu

“The reservation was for the Tabu main room but we never received a notification that an event was booked in that room. Luckily we were seated quickly in the Nonna main room. Food And service were amazing, especially the octopus which was so tender. We loved the Farmer's market salad and the butternut squash ravioli. The fried chicken was tasty but compared to the other dishes wasn't as notable. The desserts were the pumpkin cake (like a pumpkin pie but better) and the citrus cake (grapefruit olive oil cake). Both desserts were so good. The only complaint I have is that the tables were a little too close but it can't be helped in the space.”

“Have you ever been to a country and realize how amazing the food was compared to what was being served back home? Well, that is for us for Italian. After we visited Italy, it was difficult to even visit an Italian restaurant because we knew that food quality would not be the same until we found Nonna about 20 years ago! Recently, we went there after a long time and I’m just kicking myself for not going frequently and supporting this amazing eatery. The quality of food is just phenomenal on top of the amazing service by Brett. He recommended this great white wine to pair with my seafood pasta. Everything was exceptional. I would highly recommend to go visit this gem and experience it.”

“The food at Nona was excellent, and the ambiance on the Taboo side of the restaurant was lovely. Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired. When we arrived, the restaurant was fairly empty, so I’m not sure why it took so long for our server to even introduce herself. In fact, she never actually told us her name. I only know it might be Hadeel because I overheard others call her that. About 20 minutes passed before we got our drinks, which were actually brought by the busboy. He was friendly and tried to help when I flagged him down to order appetizers, but it wasn’t until he explained he wasn’t our server that I realized I’d been waiting on the wrong person. Once Hadeel did appear, she took our order in an unusual way. She’d wait until we finished each dish before taking the order for the next course. At one point, she dropped off the dessert menu before we’d even ordered our entrees, then seemed annoyed when we tried to order mains. Later, while waiting for dessert, olives randomly arrived at our table, which was confusing since we were expecting something sweet. To top it off, she mentioned the next reservation was waiting, as if we were the ones holding things up, when her pacing caused the delay in the first place. Great food, nice vibe, but the service experience was frustrating and disorganized.”

“Just did not live up to the hype. Service and atmosphere were fine. Our waiter was kind but definitely overwhelmed with how many tables he had. The food overall was disappointing. We tried the shrimp soufflé app, the crushed tomato pizza, the Ragu pasta, and the lobster ravioli. The pizza was very basic, dry, and bland. The ravioli had zero flavor and was just so bland. Given that it was a dish that apparently has been on the menu for years we were expecting something really great. It was so bad we sent it back. Off night maybe?? The Ragu was delicious as was the shrimp soufflé app. Overall we were expecting really amazing Italian food but were left with an experience that fell way short of reputation.”

“This restaurant has a small shopfront but the size inside is still very large. The table is a little bit too small but the overall environment is quiet that’s not bad. The food is ok. The most delicious dish is the appetizer in Picture2 and the olives in last picture🫒 are super delicious. Appreciate the waiter packed the olives for me. Will continue to come back because there are delicious olives loll. It is worth mentioning that their desserts are very good. Be sure to try them..🥰🥰🥰”
