WE AIN'T NONNA'S! It's a simple as that. We love and appreciate all the Nonna's out there and the beautiful food they create. We don't want to compete with your Nonna's cooking, so we won't.

This is our take on home style Italian cooking.

    Exceptional food and customer service, very friendly team with a great atmosphere. Love that we can order a selection of dishes to be shared. And never a problem to add on as we go.

    Fantastic dining experience, food, service and drinks were amazing. My only recommendation is for more cocktail options for people who do not drink, eg Mocktails on the menu. Otherwise had a really great dining experience

    If you want me to be honest, the experience was frustrating. For the price, the food was disappointingly average. We ordered two pasta dishes, each around $30, and both were a letdown. One was way too salty, and the other had a strange, scrambled egg-like texture—definitely not what you expect for that price. What made things worse was the portion size. We were told the dishes were “pretty big and meant to be shared,” but one of the plates was clearly a single-serving size. Bit of a shame. On top of that, the tables were extremely small, barely accommodating more than three plates at once. It made the dining experience cramped and awkward, especially for the price we were paying. Overall, not a terrible meal, but far from worth the cost.

    We enjoyed our birthday dinner at Ain’t Nonnas. All up, delightful food with a wide range of dishes to please all our tastes. The place has a good vibe if a little noisy.
