Appetizers were awesome. Rice ball the dip and sweet and spicy shrimp. Yum. When dinner came on the menu it sounded so good. Unfortunately we had to ask for more sauce because everything was dry. Ended up taking home the entree to doctor up. I will try them again maybe for meatballs and spaghetti

We have enjoyed this restaurant since they opened their doors over 10 years ago. We've appreciated how they accommodate our needs; as when we were on a carb restricted diet - substituting two green veg and no potatoes... They wait staff is friendly. We always feel welcome. My husband enjoys their gnocchi, which they make on site. I enjoy their salmon. My favorite salmon is their grilled salmon. I also enjoy it on one of their dinner or lunch salads; and their stuffed salmon is delicious as well. In addition to the meal we've enjoyed their Happy Hour special when they offer 1/2 price wine bottles... - in the Summer - cocktails on the patio are a delight.

It was lovely. Great cuisine from appetizer to dessert. Been here many times and never disappoints

You find the main entrance in a back parking lot. It's by a McDonald's, Metro by T-Mobile, and a laundromat so it's odd to see back there. The entrance was fancy once but a bit worn now, and behind clutter.Inside it's a narrow little restaurant with a tiny bar but nice. Food was good.

very tasty large postions

Visited on a Friday about 5pm. Restaurant had a dozen or so patrons at the time. There was only one server, who was pleasant enough but clearly overwhelmed. She said the dinner rush was starting early, but it really didn't seem like much of a rush. This should be a one star review, but I'm awarding one extra star to the server for her yeoman's work.I ordered veal parmesan and my wife had spaghetti and meatballs. The veal was tough and dry and the meatballs were dry. Come to think about it the bread was dry/stale also! The tomato sauce on my entree had a watery consistency - thin even for soup, let alone sauce. Noodles were cooked ok, and the flavor was acceptable, but the textures overall were abominable. No complaints about the cocktails and salads.One more thing: None of the staff were wearing COVID masks. Our visit was on 2/4/22, right in the middle of the 4th wave. This shows a very poor attitude, IMO.We won't be back.

Went there on a Friday night for a birthday celebration. All the food was good! I had the Cioppino with mussels, calamari, shrimp, scallops and salmon steamed in a white wine tomato herb broth. It had really good flavor and looked like the lighter side of their menu vs. pasta and bread. I would order that spicy if I went there again. The look of the calamari definitely turned some people off at the table - tasted decent! I did try someone's gnocchi and that was really good as well. Overall, a fun place to go.

My hubby threw me a surprise retirement party at Nonna Rosa's. What a wonderful experience! The food was great and the staff was attentive and so pleasant! The room provided was free of charge and was a lovely setting for this special time. Management worked with my husband to provide the very best experience possible. It was a home run! Highly recommended!!

Just moved to the neighborhood and I was craving for a fettuccine chicken Alfredo, I looked a the reviews and someone already mentioned that this dish wasn’t very good because it was very dry. I ordered anyways because there was another review that says that it was good so I gave it a try. Yup, when I came home and opened the container, the noodles where very sticky and plain ,and I was like, where is the rest of the sauce?, I thought it was going to be in the bottom but barely could find any. It was my most expensive $23.48 dish with such a low quality. I certainly will not go back, at least for this dish. I’m writing this review because just like to read other’s people experience and decide if I want to get something from there or not. ? so far I know this will no be my place for fettuccine chicken Alfredo. If owners read this, I encourage you to make a big change on this dish. If you make it great I assure you that you’ll get more customers in. This review is just to share my experience with this particular dish but it doesn’t mean that the rest of the menu is bad. I will write another review I ever get a different dish so I can share my thoughts on it. Happy holidays people. Love, your Mexican amigo.

Nonna Rosa is one of the best Italian restaurants I've had the chance to visit.The staff are very friendly and have great recommendations, the building is wonderful and their food is incredible. The Gnocchi bolognese recommended was delicious, a wonderful melt in your mouth texture and the sauce so flavorful.It is definitely worth checking out and I will 100% be stopping by again.
