"Luigi is from Italy and it is absolutely noticeable in the way he cooks. The staff are exceptionally pleasant and the bartender, Scott, makes the best margarita on the planet.
This restaurant is tucked away next to Richie's diner on Murrieta Hot Springs and Hancock, so it is never super busy. If it was in a better location, I doubt they'd ever have an open seat."

"Great dinner. Great server. Great music. I came here in a group of 11 people including 2 kids and a baby. The server was extremely nice for the size and chaos level of our group. The kids were entertained and the adults were still able to have a great meal. Everyone had something different to eat and everyone like their choices! We were all from out of town so I picked this from the open table reviews and it led me to a great find!"

"Nonno's is our favorite for every mood we're in. It can be a quiet dinner with wonderful mood music on weekends or a good place to celebrate birthdays and special days. The food is very tasty and generous, and very well priced. ALL the personnel is friendly, and knowledgeable about their food servings. If we consider Nonno's our favorite...it must be perfect!"

"Started out with an antipasto appetizer (shared), shared a tomato, cucumber and mozzarella cheese salad. Both were scrumptious. We both had special of the day. My husband had the 14 oz. rib eye special (done to perfection) with veggies. I had the ravioli stuffed with Portobello mushrooms with a light cream sauce and a veggie mixture and braised port over them. They were delicious. We also had a bottle of Robert Renzoni Sangiovese mixture wine. We didn't have room for dessert but I'm sure it would have been wonderful."

"What a great time we had on Mon 4/29 for my Sweetheart's b-day! We had a fantastic meal and excellent service from William & Nestor. The calamari app. was light & flavorful, and the Buffalo Mozzarella had such a unique taste to it! The Ravioli w/ Portobella mushroom sauce was soooo good!! Try this place, you'll love it too..."

"Tried for the first time since change in ownership and name. Used to be one of the two Ravioli's locations which are now closed. We were pleased with the experience--both our dishes were very good and the entire staff was pleasant, very attentive and accommodating. We will definitely return even though it's a bit of a drive for us (there just aren't enough good independent restaurants in this inland area--but this is one worth trying)."
