Relaxed, old-school Italian spot selling counter-order pizza, pasta & subs since 1982.

the chicken fettuccine had no flavor whatsoever it was so plain that I decided to bring it home so i could season it with some Tony’s I was very disappointed with this place since so many clients recommended this spot to me and my coworkers the “side” salad shouldn’t even be considered a side dish since it’s literally on the same size plate as the main dish. they might as well add some boiled eggs, bacon, corn, and cheese to make it more appetizing.
NOT WORTH THE MONEY IN MY OPINION
update: I never ate the leftovers that I brought home I was not forcing myself to finish something that was never good in the first place

Walked in thinking I’m gonna spend about 25 bucks for 2 adults and 1 kid turns out to be 40 bucks because the prices on the board are wrong. The service suck the lady was to worried about her phone to pay attention to us and when I asked about the prices being different pretty much got told it was their fault.

The pricing of the food misconveys that the food will be quality. I ordered the stuffed muffaletta pizza, but was given instead a non-stuffed muffaletta pizza. This pizza was of the same quality as your average store-bought frozen pizza. If this was restaurant made pizza, then I am incredibly disappointed. As a store-bought frozen pizza, I suppose it was average. It is disappointing that I spent that much money on what seems like your average frozen store-bought pizza.
It took them 30 minutes to prepare and serve this.
My wife ordered the fettuccine and broccoli. The broccoli had gross black ends on them. She didn’t seem to have tasted anything different, but they did look terrible.
I would say you’re paying Olive Garden prices for Chef Boyardee quality.

Notini’s is an icon in Bossier City. They’ve been severing up some great Italian food for as long as I can remember. It almost closed its doors a while back, but a family member stepped in to save this traditional Italian restaurant. Oh and the pizza is great! Service can be spotty but overall this place is awesome. Try the citrus mint sweet tea!

This is the worst Italian food I have ever had at a restaurant. I do not recommend this place. The staff was not rude, but they weren’t particularly friendly either. They actually seemed a little annoyed they had to wait on me. Although the dining area looks nice, it seemed cold and empty. The seating was okay for wooden chairs with no cushions. Parking was a little tight. The food was overpriced and the pasta (I ordered spaghetti with meat sauce and a sausage link) was comparable to what you would get from a can of Spaghetti-O’s, very soft and overcooked and far from al dente. The meat sauce was okay and had a nice flavor though it could have been hotter. They didn’t heat up the sausage long enough in the microwave, because while its exterior was warm, its interior was cool (though not cold). The unsweet iced tea was not great. I didn’t visit the restrooms. The dining area did have ample space.

Notions has always been a great place to get a nice Italian lunch. I haven’t been back in awhile so this time I was looking forward to a nostalgic experience. The food was hot and good but not much flavor, I loved the tea and thankful they have free refills. Some of the things I didn’t like were the sticky floors, I think they are using bathroom cleaner on the floors and not actual floor cleaner. The bathrooms were not clean and need to be updated. The stalls were rusted and did not look like they’ve been attended to on a regular basis. The staff were the most part friendly, they made sure we received the food and did the basics, no friendly smile or gestures. I said thank you when leaving and I received a blank stare and no “you’re welcome” or “thank you for coming in.!” These things should be basics. Overall it was good but not great so I’m giving an average rating. I just think with a little culture training it could be amazing!

This bowl of pasta with Italian Sausage was $20. It was not worth it. It was decent but not nearly as good as when I used to come here years ago. Sadly, this is not the same Notinis. I cannot recommend it.

I love to eat here with my kids. Everyone realizes they have raised prices. Ok, but at least make it a CLEAN environment. The 4 dirty tables when I arrived were never touched and trash and food all over floor. Seems to be 1 person actually working.

Just walked out of Notini’s and I’m still mad about it.
Ordered their “famous” spaghetti and meatballs because the menu made it sound like Nonna herself was back there rolling them by hand.
What arrived was a plate of sadness.
The spaghetti tasted like someone had boiled it in old lemon juice and regret. Straight-up bitter, metallic, like the pot hadn’t been cleaned since the Clinton administration. One fork twirl in and my tongue was trying to file a formal complaint.
Then the meatball. Oh god, the meatball. Gray on the inside, somehow both dry AND greasy, with a weird sour note that made me wonder if it had been pre-chewed by a raccoon. I’m not dramatic — I’ve eaten gas-station sushi before — but this thing was a crime scene.
