Very good Italian food fresh made from scratch. Had the white sauce pizza, cheese ravioli and roasted carrots. Delicious was expecting lousy boardwalk food and found this place. 60 including tip is not bad for the quality of food. Endera was a great Doug was very attentive as well. Beautiful decor.

My husband and I went here for our Anniversary dinner/ Valentine’s, it was a cozy vibe, beautiful views. While we waited for our reservation time we sat at the bar and had delicious wine. The waitress we had gave us the recommendation of the homemade Caesar salad and it was phenomenal the best salad I have ever had, the dressing was amazing. I also had the Chicken Piccata that was delicious, as well as my husbands spaghetti pomodoro. We will definitely be returning.

Wow, finally, an Italian restaurant in Destin that is absolutely outstanding (and surprisingly affordable!) My wife and I joined another couple for a terrific meal last night. This place has only been open a few weeks and word is not out yet, but when you dine here, you will tell all your friends about it. Menu is quite extensive, giving diners many options to choose from. We had the meatball antipasto with delicious Sunday sauce, and steamed mussels to start, followed by fettuccine carbonara with shrimp and the tender manicotti. Then I enjoyed the veal scallopini and an affogato for dessert. Our friends raved about the lemon pasta and the “John Travolta” pasta dishes, as well as the Caesar Salad and tiramisu. Overall, a great experience with very attentive servers. The restaurant is a quiet, refreshing throwback to better times, with authentic photographs, period music and subdued lighting.
We had hoped to join the “happy hour” discount, but unfortunately it is only offered on the outside patio and the temperatures were too chilly for us. But the food and drink prices are very reasonable, especially for Destin.
You will NOT be disappointed with the quality of the food and service at Nonna’s; it was as good as we have enjoyed in Italy firsthand. Highly recommend this dining experience!

Couldn’t wait to try Chef Creehan’s new spot, and it did not disappoint! Right when our group walked in we were met with first class service. Our group tried a couple of the pizzas and a few entrees. Definitely recommend the chicken picatta, but you can’t go wrong with anything.

The food was lick your plate delicious and I almost did. I ate everything! The atmosphere was quiet, and the decor of this restaurant was beautifully appointed. The Maitre’D was very friendly, welcoming, and engaging. Who wasn’t engaging, my Waiter. I don’t feel it was anything personal and understand there were only two Waiters that I saw on the floor servicing tables. He did provide service, and I believe he did the best he could. I ordered spaghetti Pom something and meatballs à la carte, and both were delicious! The portion, i.e., like a spin of spaghetti on the utensil, still had me hungry as I snacked on an apple when I got home. For $22, I should have felt full. I was surprised an offering of a side salad and or bread wasn’t a part of the meal. So, I did request bread and it was provided. The business model was different to me, and my Waiter wasn’t accessible when I had a question about it, but what I did have, I enjoyed. All in all, lovely restaurant, delicious food, and I would visit again!

I’m vegan and booked this spot because they offered a simple, classic spaghetti al pomodoro — and I’m so glad we did. The service was wonderful from start to finish. Our waitress, Trinity, was attentive and kind, and the whole team worked seamlessly together.
My half-Italian fiancé ordered the cacio e pepe (his gold standard for judging Italian restaurants) and was beyond impressed by both the presentation and depth of flavor. We ended the night with an affogato and an espresso martini — both excellent.
This was such a lovely Italian dining experience, and not one I expected to find in Destin, Florida. Highly recommend!

We tried this new restaurant and were so impressed! I started with the meatball appetizer, which was tender and flavorful, and then had the veal chop for my main — perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. My husband ordered the filet and it melted in your mouth like butter. The ambiance was very inviting, and the Italian wine paired beautifully with our meals.
A wonderful addition to the area — we’ll definitely be back!
