Reviews
The wild boar was incredible. I really dislike how bitter broccolini is, but even that could not ruin this dish for me.
The bread they start you out with is also delicious!
It was our first time dining here and we had a wonderful time. The food was tasty, with a big portion size. We liked the complimentary focaccia, the pollo parmigiano and linguine bolognese, and we loved the tiramisu which was one of the best we had ever had, reminding us of our trip to Italy.
The only dish that was a bit disappointing was the calamari – it looked and tasted greasy for some reasons. The green sauce coming with it was amazing though, and the chef was very kind to handwrite me a list of ingredients when I asked our server about the sauce. All servers were professional and friendly, and service was fast.
I would recommend this place.
The focaccia with chive sauce was delicious, and both the arancini and octopus were outstanding. The octopus was perfectly cooked and paired with a bright medley of bitters, while the arancini had a crisp outer shell and a savory, fluffy center. We washed it all down with a bottle of Bella Terra wine and were off to a great (if increasingly full) start.
For mains, the porchetta wasn’t to my personal taste (I’m not a fan of fatty cuts), but the veal shank had great flavor, even if the cut was a bit fatty and tough. With a different cut, this dish could really shine. Of note, the porchetta was served with the butcher’s string still on it.
I’ve noticed the owner can be quite passionate when responding to criticism — which, given the packed house and over a decade in business, makes sense. There’s a lot to be proud of here.
Enjoy the scenic drive and stop in for an amazing meal that makes feel like Nona must be in kitchen.
Service was warm and professional. The food was fantastic! They also have an Amazing selection of local vintages to enjoy with your generous, rustic meal that excites all your senses.
The octopus was outstanding genuinely one of the best I’ve ever had. Great portion size, great price. 9/10. [Polpo $22]
The table bread was a focaccia with scallion oil. Simple, delicious. 10/10.
The linguine bolognese was good (great portions and value with tons of meaty sauce) and was ironically held back by the quality of the pasta used. With the current pasta choice (tasted like a generic bought linguine) it was a solid 7/10 but could have easily been an 8 with a more intentional pasta choice that can take more on the sauce and had a better depth of flavour.
The Campanella Con Pollo was disappointing. The Campanella is such a tediously difficult pasta to make so to have it be made in house is impressive. But then pairing it with a weak, watery sauce, dry chicken and calling it a pasta dish sounds like a lazy whatever is in the fridge situation. Most difficult to forgive however was the cook on the pasta. The pasta may be hand made but it must be dried and not made fresh because fresh pasta would be literally impossible to be THIS al dente. Maybe it was a mistake or maybe it was a intentional choice but either way that dish was almost dinner ruining.
I’m going to give that item a pass though becuase all the rest of the items were solid.
4/5 should have been a 5/5. Please rethink the Campenlle Con Pollo. It’s a hard to make dish that is actively taking away from your menu and experience.
