La Nonna Bella - Garden City

The food is fantastic! The restaurant is exceptional and has a loyal following, making it difficult to get a reservation on weekends.

Was very impressed with the food. You made a custom pasta dish for me tonight and it was pretty good.

Celebrated a birthday with family at Nonna Bella recently. The staff, from the hostess to waiter (Miguel) were exceptional. Unfortunately, food and everything else was well below average. Pasta was poorly cooked, and poorly seasoned. My son who eats everything left food on plate. We had high expectations, but it was a big let down. Not the Italian eatery experience we were looking forward to. We will not be returning to Nonna Bella.

Chef Lino as always was on point with his unique specials like his homemade lobster ravioli with sea urchin, stuffed mussels with crab meat and his stuffed zucchini blossoms. Not to mention the equally amazing bronzino, pasta and banana cream tart were also home runs! Great job as always Pasqualino!

Now, let's discuss the food! Here are my absolute FAVORITE dishes from that evening: - Antipasto: Cozze Al Pesto, Mozzarella Di Buffalo, and Burrata - You MUST try the Risotto Ai Porcini made with imported porcini mushrooms. It's a must-have. - Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe - Dessert: Banana Cream Tart and Panna Cotta Honestly, you can’t go wrong with any dish on the menu. Alongside the fantastic food, the service is exceptional! Eria and Chef Lino are some of the most down-to-earth people I’ve met in a while. Two words: Come. Hungry.
