Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Thousand Oaks

I was impressed with the ambience, the quality of the food, the not to overbearing attentiveness of the staff and the reasonableness of the prices. The noise level was a bit loud and conversation was somewhat difficult but it was crowded even for a Sunday night. I had a Tuscan styled Cioppino ( thinner spicy broth rather than the thicker San Francisco style) and it was good and filling. My wife has the Salmon with a Lemon Caper sauce and steamed broccoli and she said it was delicious.

I eat here all of the time. This meal, I ordered the short ribs. They were incredibly tough, I had to use a knife and that was difficult. I told the waiter, he took my plate and at that point I didn’t want a replacement. He apologized, offered us a free dessert which was nice. My assumption was that the meal would be credited. It was not. Yes we had a free dessert but my meal should have been comped. I am really stumped as to why he’d think it was ok to charge us for a meal I didn’t even eat. Had I known when the bill was paid I would have objected. I didn’t even want a dessert. Maybe review these types of incidents with staff. He could’ve done better.

Excellent Branzino and Pork Chop!! Carlos our waiter was very attentive. Will be back for dinner soon

Excellent food and wine selection. New menu items were outstanding. Try the skirt steak, risotto, branzino, yellowtail appetizer, wagyu skewer appetizer, and the smores dessert!

We have always had wonderful meals and experiences at Nonna's. Last night was no exception. The food was fabulous. The ambiance was warm and comforting. The wait staff, Heather and her support team, was absolutely amazing. They were continually looking in on us and meeting every need we had without asking and were never pushy. Fantastic evening! Thank you
