We had an amazing experience tonight. They did a wonderful job setting the ambiance for a special Valentine’s dinner. It was beautiful. The service was great and the women were treated with a thoughtful rose from the owner. We enjoyed every dish we ordered. Scallops, short rib ragu, crème brûlée and cheesecake were beyond delicious. And the bread was fantastic! Highly recommend. ❤️ ️

What A lovely Gem of a restaurant, the pasta/seafood is amazing. Staff/Chef was so accommodating made us a custom mint drink to our preference which was such a pleasure to receive, not many restaurants are this accommodating but Nanas Kitchen was by for the Most!

Almost forgot about this little “gem” of a restaurant! Beautiful atmosphere with chandeliers and tables spaced at a reasonable distance! Top notch piano entertainment on Saturday night, possible Wednesday and Friday also( call to confirm). Food priced for value and BYOB! Great for a romantic dinner! The veal chop Milanese and Halibut dishes were Top Shelf! Appetizers we’re nice portions. Don’t be in a rush because each dish cooked to order!
Sit back, have a another glass of wine and enjoy the singing and piano music!!!

Rushed. Food was great. Chicken Parmesan was fantastic, eggplant rigatoni was great. Constant asking if we were done was extremely annoying. Dishes were half full and we were actively working on the meal and had to answer this question about 5 times during the dinner. Everything else was great. Clean, quite and warm. But my goodness let people eat at their leisure.

Delicious food, great atmosphere, friendly staff. Definitely a spot to check out if you’re craving italian. A bit pricy but I felt it was worth every penny.
I’ll be dreaming of the stuffed mushrooms lol

First time back to this place in many years. Had a group of 12 and I need to tip my hat to Dean, Erica and the rest of the staff and Nana’s Kitchen. Excellent job by everyone. Food was fantastic, service was top notch and just a really nice vibe to the place. We will definitely be back!!!

Food did not come out hot. The gnocchi was extremely mushy. However, it all had good flavor. The entertainment got very loud and we felt like we were on a party cruise. Food took extremely long to come out. Especially dessert. From start to finish, dinner took about three hours.

Disappointing experience at Nana’s Kitchen. The food was bland and forgettable, especially for the price, and the service was painfully slow despite the restaurant not being crowded. Definitely not worth the wait, and we won’t be coming back.
