The best Italian restaurant in NYC hands down. Truly a hidden Gem 💎 nobody does it better than chef Fernando! Everything is made fresh and delicious. Really makes you wonder how the chef does it all! Also don’t sleep on their cocktails, they are the cherry on top after all that amazing food!
Il Nonno is absolutely amazing! Every dish bursts with fresh, authentic flavors, and you can tell the ingredients are top-notch. The atmosphere is cozy and charming, making it the perfect spot for a delicious meal. I keep coming back—truly a gem for anyone who loves fresh and delicious Italian cuisine!
Nonno - the name called me because, I was craving like a good authentic Al dente plate of pasta. So as I arrived they had lunch specials and I ordered the summer black truffle fettuccine : the sauce it was too oily, the fettuccine was overcooked needed more salt and pepper or flavor, it felt like a dish a creamy unflavored pasta. However the highlight of the meal was the “appetizer “the bruschetta was delicious and the tiramisu was alright 6/10, I had better. And the waitress wasn’t so helpful
