Nonno's Italian Restaurant

Todays visit was a very spontaneous, I read some reviews, so opted to try Nonno's Italian. Boy, were those reveiws spot on! The location like most 5-star places I visit looks rather bleak/run-down on the outside. Never trust the cover of any place you may eat at! The time i went I observed what appeared to be something 'normal' or just perhaps it was Memorial Weekend, by that I mean the staff were eating food along with customers mostly at the bar and some ate with friends or family. Something about that did not bother me at all! In fact that made the entire eating experience more "home-like", you don't find that at majority of places which serve food. In fact I enjoyed this meal far more better than Disney's Flying Fish, where I ate last night!

I will have to say, I am going to now call this my "go-to" place to eat...

My daughter has come home for the holidays, and we went here because of all the positive things we have heard from friends. We got here just before noon and were seated right away. Our order was taken promptly, and our drinks and salads were brought right out. As well as bread and their amazing Pesto butter. She ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo and I ordered the lunch special of Chicken Cannelloni. For lunch dishes they both were very generous with the portions. The server was very attentive to us. I would recommend this restaurant 100% to anyone looking for a great meal. We are coming back for dinner before my daughter goes back to school to try some of the great sounding dinner entrees. On a side note the table next to us were a deaf couple. While the server did not know Sign language, she stopped what she was doing got a note pad and communicated with them to make sure that they got what they wanted. It was nice to see true kindness at this time of year.

I’ve been going here for years. I refer my friends and my customers and everyone has a Great Experience!
I’ve never had a bad dish here or bad service. I love the seafood special and the minestrone soup!! The owners are absolutely refreshing and insight every time they open the doors. The bread and oil are absolutely delicious. They take great pride in their homemade food and you can taste it.
This time around I ordered one of my favorites the Chicken penne with broccoli. I also had bread and oil along with a Greek salad. I took a lot home bc the portions are very filling. I love reheating the leftovers bc they taste just as good as when they first come out. !

This is great for family gatherings, date night and just a solo lunch/dinner. They never disappoint and it’s my Favorite restaurant ever!!

We live in Idaho and are staying at Universal Orlando, but we were told we HAVE to uber to this place and give it a try. I'm SO glad we listened. The food is insanely good. Best meal we've had since walking off the plane! The only downside is, now I'll constantly crave it when we go back home!

Fantastic restaurant, perfect food, friendly staff, and a very family oriented home like atmosphere, I hope I can come back soon.

We went to dinner here the other night. The food was amazing. The owner was walking around and talking to everyone and seeing how everything was. The food came out fast. Our pasta and chicken Parmesan was some of the best we have had. We got the lemon cake at the end and it was delicious.

One of the best Italian restaurants I have been to in Florida. You can’t go wrong with any of their dishes and the pesto is amazing! Highly recommend if you are in the area!

I've read mixed reviews some love It and others well not so much but my experience thankfully was good. The service was good the food was yumi and you must try their sangria !

I can’t say enough! This place is a gem. Their food and service is impeccable. We enjoyed everything from the bread and pesto, bruschetta, minestrone soup was so good, their chicken Marsala and chicken piccata was beyond delicious. Then their homemade tiramisu…I can go on and on! The owner walks around and makes sure you enjoy your food. That’s pride in what he does. Our first time and won’t be the last!

The food here is INCREDIBLE! My family makes a lot of Italian food from scratch and it was like being at my parent’s house (sorry dad ❤) the Carbonara and chicken Marsala were to die for! The pasta was cooked to perfection a, sauces were spot on, and the pesto that came with the bread? I’m going to regret not somehow getting that recipe. Kimberly was the best waitress, so peppy, on the ball, and perfect at embarrassing my cousin for her birthday 😂❤ I cannot wait to come back to Florida again for this place!

One word describes our evening at Nonno's, magnificent. My friend and I were looking for an Orlando gem and we found the perfect place. The food was deliciously made with love and care. Every bite was so flavorful. We both sat there savoring our food. We began with the bread and pesto. The pesto was so good we even dipped our calamari in it. Our entrees were Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp and Lasagna. The flavors were soooo good. You could tell that fresh ingredients were used in the dishes. I cannot say enough how much we loved our food. The owner came to our table several times. He was so warm and welcoming. A perfect compliment to our meal. Definitely put Nonno's on your list.

The most fantastic food you will remember eating. The service is amazing. I went to Italy this year and I can't remember food this good. You owe it to yourself to try this.

Shannon took care of our family yesterday. She is amazing! The restaurant is very busy (and well worth the wait). When I think of how a family-owned Italian restaurant should be experienced, I will always think of this place. Thank you for a great meal, and for having such a wonderful establishment.

The menu is a delightful journey through Italy, with each dish bursting with authentic flavors. The warm and inviting ambiance makes it perfect for a cozy evening out. The staff's attentiveness and the generous portions make Nonno's a top choice for Italian cuisine in Orlando. We'll definitely be returning for more!"

Alicia and I celebrated our extended birthday celebration at Nonno’s Italian Restaurant, voted “best Italian Restaurant in Central Florida” in 2023.
Taste wise, Nonno’s deserves the vote. We ordered their Maria “Style” and their Linguini Con Cozze, both cooked to our complete satisfaction. For dessert, we had cannoli, one of the two items in the dessert menu that’s homemade according to our delightful waitress. Highly recommended!

If you've never had a long awaited hug from your Nonna that's what this place is. 10/10

Our server Bri was so attentive, gave recommendations, and made us feel like we were regulars on our first visit. Place was packed on a Thursday night.

The portions are large, the food had love in it. We started with caprese (huge ripe tomatoes and perfect drizzle), calamari with great marinara. Chicken marsala so good you want to lick the plate. Cabonara was rich and delicious. The pasta was perfectly al dente. CARROT CAKE and bread to go for tomorrow. The pesto spread is already calling me back.

A friend and I tried Nonno's for her birthday last night. We had a fantastic evening from start to finish. We were greeted promptly and were quoted about a 20-minute wait time. It took less than 5 minutes to be seated at a lovely booth. Our server came over immediately and got us started with drinks. We ordered waters and a bottle of the Sangue de Giuda wine. We were also brought delicious bread and pesto while we perused the menu.
We started with the calamari, which arrived a little on the chewy side, which we know from reviews is not the norm. The server happily took it back and had it removed from our check, and we promised to try it again on a future visit.
For dinner, we ordered the Tour of Sicily and the carbonara pasta as well as a side of alfredo. We ordered the tiramisu, the cannoli, and the limoncello cake for dessert. We sampled a few bites of everything but ultimately ended up bringing home the majority of the food as servings were very generous.
Everyone we interacted with at the restaurant was fantastic. We can't wait to return on a future visit. We also bought three 8 oz containers of their pesto as it was the best we've ever had. Highly recommend both this restaurant, and especially their pesto.

As there was a bit of a wait, we were greeted by the owner with a plate of bread to enjoy during our wait. The wait was not as long as quoted. Staff was wonderful. Our server, Heather, was friendly and attentive and the food was incredibly good. You could tell that the staff cared about the place and the customers. The owner stopped by each table to engage with customers.

While I was waiting for my windshield repair, this little hidden gem was the only restaurant in the plaza. The area is a bit forgotten here in Altamonte. If I wasn’t told it was here, I would have missed it. I was greeted with a warm and truly inviting welcome. The layout has cute booths , a counter for eating as well as many tables. They open at 11:30 for lunch, and was already quite busy. The entire staff is welcoming, smiling and happy to see you. My server was Nikita, she was fabulous. Attentive and helpful to guide me in choices that I asked about. They stayed out with a perfect crusted bread and a pesto dip says that is absolutely to die for! I ordered the Greek salad with grilled chicken , wow! The portion was enormous, and absolutely fresh! The chicken was spectacular and so well marinated seasoned. And the prices , absolutely in budget! If you are ever in this area, check it out, you won’t be disappointed!

Probably the best Italian food I've ever eaten outside of Italy itself! Food was so delicious, and service was great too! Their pesto was heavenly, calamari was perfect, and we ate the bruschetta too quickly too even get a picture lol. And all of our entrees were delicious and massively proportioned! And again, wonderful service and atmosphere! Thank you! =)
