We had such a nice time at Nonna! The food was really good! I had the Chicken Rossano and the Beef Tortellini, and both were so full of flavour and cooked perfectly. You can really taste the freshness, and the portions were great too. We also had dessert, which was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. The owner and staff were so lovely and welcoming.
