Cafe Nonna

4.5

About this business

Caffe Nonna is a cozy tiny establishment, but never boring. A small bar and half a dozen tables are always packed. Traditional Italian appetizers and salads begin the meal. The calamari is very good. A full menu features sandwiches and gourmet pizzas that have wheat dough piled high with your choice of meat and vegetables. Mix and match different types of pasta with their specialty sauces like pesto cream, white clam or Arrabiata.

Simple Atmosphere, Impressive Food – This was my first visit, and I couldn't have been more pleased! The small restaurant space was rustic and simple -- the kind of ambiance you find at below-street-level restaurants in Manhattan. Candlelight provided some additional atmosphere, but it was clear that the food and wine were the main event. It was all incredible! All of the sauces and ingredients were homemade and fresh, and the chef paid great detail to delicately layering flavors like sundried tomato, garlic, and pine nut; n... read more

Fabulous Dining Experience! – A friend recommended Cafe Nonna to us as a great "date night" restaurant. However, after reading a few of these reveiws I was a bit skeptical of our choice. Fortunately, our friend was right and we had a fabulous dining experience!!! We had 8:00 reservations on a Saturday night, we were seated immediately, waters were delivered (without asking) within 2 minutes, our waiter was at the table within 2 minutes and immediately suggested a perfect wine. Basically, the service was perfect and we also r... read more

Quaint, neighborhood spot - don't miss it Offering authentic, fresh Italian-inspired fare and at least two daily specials (typically one seafood and one meat), an extensive wine list (no liquor) and tasty desserts, you won't go wrong with a visit to this Sylvan Park charmer. The space is cozy, so reservations are recommended. Don't shy away from the patio -- it's well heated in winter -- and subject to the same welcoming service from the wonderful waitstaff.

Nothing remarkable compared to Nashville's other great choices – I really wanted to like Cafe Nonna. It's within walking distance and its atmosphere and surroundings are charming. My wife had the lamb special, I had the Hunter Chicken. Both dishes had very little taste. They weren't awful, but for the price I expect some flavor. The bread pudding we had for dessert was absolutely fantastic and was definitely the high point of the evening. Service was good also, so we'll probably give it another shot in case the kitchen was h... read more

Great Food, period! – My wife and I love this place. We eat here seven or eight times per year, and we always show it off when family or friends come into town. It's not inexpensive, but it is fairly reasonable. For two people ordering a bottle of wine, two entrees, and an appetizer, you can expect to spend 100 bucks. That being said, the food is always awesome. The menu has plenty of classic options, and the nightly specials are truly special. They put together some amazing seafood and pasta. The only drawback (why I rated ... read more

food was alright. too pricey!!! – 3 friends out to dinner. 2 glasses of house wine, 1 beer. 1 salad, 2 pasta dishes. 1 appetizer. almost $70.00. whaaaaaaaaaaaaat? portions are okay.. not gigantic. this place seriously charges waaaaaaaay too much for pasta and lettuce. it ain't rocket science. wish we had gone someplace else. oh, and this is not a private place either. be prepared to hear all about the lives of those sitting next to you.

Intimate Setting and Rustic Flavors – Caffe Nonna serves great Italian and Mediterranean flavors in an intimate, romantic setting. The flavors are deep, definitely a place for foodies. The setting is dim and a little tight, but its works perfectly for 2-4 people.

Tiny dining area with overrated food – My wife and I had dinner at Cafe Nona. We had reservations and were seated promptly. The first thing you notice is how small the dining area is...they could easily take out five tables and it would still feel cramped. So right off the bat, your playing bumper chairs with everyone around you. And you can also forget about having a quiet, romantic evening...sitting that close to other people, you overhear EVERY conversation and it's hard to speak over a room full of people to your date. A... read more

avoid in general – a restaurant to avoid. hard to believe a restaurant with bad service & mediocre food can survive when good restaurants fail. our visit included being charged for items not received & even being asked to leave so that the unknowing could have our table. should be known as"cafe no no". what a shame that places like the cooker with a courteous staff & good food cannot survive & this place can.
