"Our multi-generation family enjoyed a great dining experience at Nonni's. The service was spectacular. The waiter knew his food and his wine. There was something for everyone. The salmon piccata special was superb. The salmon was cooked just right and the flavors were well combined."

"We went here after spending the day in Sonoma and were very hungry. The food was INCREDIBLE. The service was extremely professional and they were able to modify my meal so that I could try two dishes. I will definitely visit again when we go back to Sonoma!"

"Wonderful selection of Italian food, deserts especially the Italian bread pudding were great. Wine selection very good.
Service by staff was very attentive.
If we are staying in the Sonoma/Santa Rosa area, Nonni's is one of our favorite restaurants."

"Family recipes for home style fare, Nonni's style. We appreciated the server's attention to us - we were the first couple seated for the evening- and we're not disappointed by the food. Classic Italian fare like Grammy made. Cost reasonable too."

"We chose to return to this wonderful restaurant for our anniversary. The food is reliably very good. I've had better, but then the price was as additional $50 per person. We look for smaller local restaurants whose staff is committed to going out of their way to make a dining difference. Nonni's is the perfect combination of ambiance, service, and flavor; no pretense here! My wife ordered gnocchi bolognese (not on the menu) and it was great! We have learned to judge Italian restaurants on their bruschetta (easy to make good, challenging to make great). If it isn't really good, we won't go back. Nonni's is on our "A" list of recommendations for our family and friends."

"Really uncomfortable with the extreme high volume. Music is nice, but as a background. I would like to converse with eating companions. This will prevent my possible return. Turn it down to 1/4 the volume. Even when not attempting to shout over it, that loud decibel was far to much."

"Nonni's Ristorante is truthfully one of the best in Sonoma County. I didn't have a single problem with the service or food. Hope this ristorante stays here for a long time because other places that were in there location before didn't make it."
