Nonna's Kitchen - Washington

We booked our reservation three weeks in advance, so we were very surprised to find a sign on the door stating that the restaurant was closed for the month of August. We were extremely disappointed, especially since this was a special celebration meal.

A fantastic establishment in the U-Street corridor, featuring excellent food and service. The open kitchen concept allows the cook to see how customers enjoy their meals. The pasta dishes are a highlight, but everything we tried during our visit was outstanding. Highly recommended, although parking can occasionally be a bit of a challenge.

The staff were fantastic in welcoming us, especially accommodating my vegetarian request for our anniversary dinner. They went above and beyond to ensure we didn’t have to worry about ordering. We learned a lot about the various dishes and could truly feel the love that went into our meal. The atmosphere was relaxed, and they genuinely wanted us to enjoy our dining experience!

Eating was not bad. but there was so little that we laughed loud when it arrived. the first cure of ravioli offered two very small pockets of pasta swimming on a huge empty plate. the main run of the skalopps was a mistender when they broke out the big square plate, I was grounded to see that there was literally only a tiny scallop in his midst. my roommate ordered the salmon that, when measured, was just over three square inches total. dessert was from most restaurants ' standards fine small, but it threw the size of the food we received. at $55 for a 3 cursor meal, I would expect more than two small pieces pasta and a single skalopp. Maybe. I'm inappropriate, but that was the worst price-performance ratio I paid in washington, dc in ten years. the quality of eating was good, but frankly, the boldness and greed of the chefs and restaurant managers insulting, and I would never recommend this restaurant to a friend.

From the time we arrived until the moment we left we were impressed with all aspects of Nonna's Kitchen. Chef Will is a kitchen superstar. His staff works hard to please in every aspect of the dining experience from beginning to departure. This is truly great food without the attitude. Recommended without qualification.
