Matthew is an exceptional waiter, good listener, and always gives great recommendations. The support staff are very attentive and courteous. The Chocolate Chip Cannolis are a must have.

What a great dining experience with a wonderful Maître D’ who is very on point. He tells the specials and serves with passion and a great attitude. I highly recommend you go here and Get the 16oz Rib eye steak and Cioppino it’s The best I’ve had in this area.
Date night is very important to my husband and me. With our busy schedules, we cherish opportunities to slow down, relax, and truly enjoy each other’s company—dinner is the perfect way to do that. Bono’s exceeded our expectations in every way. The atmosphere was elegant yet welcoming, creating a romantic and comfortable setting. Our servers were fantastic—warm, attentive, and clearly experienced. Cleanliness is very important to us, and everything from the tables to the silverware and glassware was spotless. The crowd was lovely, filled with beautiful families and wonderful couples, which added to the overall experience. The energy was vibrant without being loud. Compliments to the Chef 👨🍳…We enjoyed a full-course meal from soup and salad to drinks, our main entrée, and dessert. 🍨 the cost of our meals plus a tip was so affordable which caught me by surprise…I give this place 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It was truly an amazing experience, and we will absolutely be back.
I can't say enough good things about this charming gem! From the moment we walked in, the warm, inviting atmosphere wrapped us in a sense of comfort. The staff was incredibly welcoming—always smiling, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food they serve. And speaking of the food—absolutely phenomenal. Each dish was bursting with flavor, and the handmade pasta was a dream. And don’t skip the bread—it was warm, fresh, and paired perfectly with the olive oil. This is a must-visit for anyone who loves authentic Italian—support this local treasure!
Everything was so so delicious, I wish I would'vethought to take pictures! The waiters and staff were charismatic from the start! The absolute best alfredo sauce I've had, it even beat out my own. Everything came out relatively quickly and was hot! For dessert I had the dolce al cioccolato and was amazing! So rich and decadent, though I 100% recommend getting something to offset the sweetness. My husband had the tiramisu and it was one of the best he's ever tried. Overall amazing 10 out of 10, we'll definitely be going again.
Absolutely ridiculously delicious. Everything is stupidly good. I was amazed by the flavors. Started with the artichoke heart Appetizer. Wow that was something special. I had the Lemon Piccata dish, can’t remember the name, this is by far the best I have ever had. Hubby had the lasagna and said it was delicious. The cheesecake was throw your glasses off your face delicious. I mean come on, seriously it was delicious. Service was very attentive and friendly. 100% be back!!
Ambiance is super relaxed, candle lit, with sparkling waters on the table Food is great! Ordered the fried calamari and peppers We loved it! They grind fresh pepper to your liking Service was a little slow on the food but the wait was worth it I got the Alfredo tortellini with crispy chicken ($7 reg chicken $12 for crispy chicken) thought the price was a little high for the crispy because salmon was $12 also But it was delicious, perfectly seasoned Husband got lobster ravioli in white wine sauce which he loved. Very fresh and creamy
Nonno's Ristorante is a fantastic spot if you're looking for that classic old-school Italian vibe. The ambiance is warm, inviting, and really sets the tone for a great dining experience. The service was outstanding. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable about both the food specials and the cocktail menu, which made ordering easy and enjoyable. We had the Carbonara pasta, and it was absolutely delicious—rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. We also ordered the ribeye steak with a blackberry sauce. At first, the sweet element caught me off guard since I’m not used to having something sweet paired with steak, but it ended up being a really unique and tasty combination. Overall, it was a great experience from start to finish. Excellent food, great service, and a wonderful atmosphere. We’ll definitely be coming back.
Nonno’s was such an amazing experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and it feels like the kind of place where you can slow down and really enjoy your meal. Everything we ordered was delicious and beautifully prepared. The flavors were incredible and you can tell a lot of care goes into the food. Our server also recommended a wine pairing with our entrée and it was absolutely perfect, it complemented the meal so well. We finished with crème brûlée, tiramisu, and cappuccino which were all fantastic and the perfect way to end the night. What really stood out though was the service. Our server and the entire staff were wonderful. Extremely friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome. Overall it was a fantastic dining experience and we will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend Nonno’s if you’re looking for great Italian food and a special night out.
