Editorial Review for Caffe Nonna – by Karen Lusky
In Short
Located in a row of trendy digs in Sylvan Park, this cozy restaurant offers the rustic feel of a Tuscan cafe. Seating 45 people, it has an intimate, yet uncrowded ambience with large windows, gold and earth-toned burnished walls and a four-stool bar. Favorites include veal scaloppine and pork chops, which are seared and served in sweet and sour sauce. Mix-and-match pastas come with various sauces, including puttanesca, arrabiata and white sauce.

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 having an off-night. For now, though, my opinion is that Zola wipes the floor with this place.
Pros: Fresh ingredients, friendly service, great "tight" atmosphere
Cons: Food didn't match the price

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 this a 4 instead of a 5) is that some of the tables are way too close together. If your seats happen to fall along the wall with the long bench (I believe it is the east wall), you can expect to be listening to the conversations of the next table. It is very annoying. You can reach over and steal their bread and listen to every word of their conversation. The other tables are much more mangeable. Besides that one aspect, the atmosphere is really quaint. If you like Italian food, you should give it a shot.
Pros: food, atmosphere
Cons: tables are crowded
