Our Guestbook
“ I recently visited Adelaide with a group of school friends, and on the recommendation of my cousin who lives locally, we tried this restaurant for dinner. From the moment we arrived, the welcome was incredibly warm and friendly, setting the tone for a great evening. The food was absolutely amazing; every dish we ordered was full of flavour and beautifully presented. What truly stood out was that, in our group, there is usually at least one person with something to critique. But this time, not a single complaint- everyone was genuinely impressed. A special shoutout to the restaurant for catering so well to dietary needs. One of our friends is lactose intolerant and often struggles to find suitable options when dining out. She was thrilled to find delicious dishes made without dairy cheese. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience that exceeded all our expectations. Highly recommended! ”
“ Hands down the nicest food and service. I had the veal and prawn spaghetti. (Ask Jayden for his version/twist with chicken). Top 5 dishes in my life time. The wife had the beef cheeks, absolutely delicious. Portion size was very generous. The staff were absolutely perfect. They even shuffled some things for us to eat. Would recommend booking ahead. ”
“ My friend and I had such a great time. The food was honestly beautiful, super tasty and well done. Loved the vibe of the place too, really nice atmosphere and just a good spot to relax and enjoy a meal. Definitely worth checking out! ”
“ 5 Stars – A Memorable Meal with Friends! We were a group of school friends visiting Adelaide for our annual get-together, and this restaurant truly made our night one to remember. From the moment we walked in, the service was friendly, welcoming, and attentive—just what we needed to start the evening off right. The food? Absolutely awesome. Every dish was packed with flavour and beautifully presented. But what really blew me away were the beef cheeks—melt-in-your-mouth tender and full of rich, deep flavour. I’m still thinking about them! For dessert, the tiramisu and caramel creations were out of this world. Decadent, perfectly balanced, and the ideal sweet finish to a fantastic meal. Hands down, the best dining experience I had in Adelaide. If I ever get the chance to visit Adelaide again, this place will be at the top of my list. ”
“ I and four of my friends visited Adelaide for a short visit recently. We were introduced to this beautiful Italian restaurant by another friend of ours. The food was exceptionally good from the 1st dish to the last. The atmosphere was great. The staff was polite and very attentive. They went above and beyond to provide us a wonderful eating experience. I must say that we were treated to a sumptuous feast. Later we were lucky to meet the owners and found them to be very friendly and down to earth people. Their son too was there and showed us the best dishes to choose from. I am more than happy to recommend this restaurant to anyone including my friends. Looking forward to visit again! Until then... ”
“ Got a few things - Fried calamari, beef cheeks, kids spaghetti, piatto dimare & tiramisu - all were tasty, filling and priced as expected for a bit of a fancier place. 4* as I’d return. ”
“ Great food served with a very nice ambience coupled with soothing music. The beef cheek dish is phenomenal and a must try. Generously portioned and good taste in every bite. All the dishes we ordered were great and the beef cheek really stands out on its own. It's another level. The owner personally attended to us and he is so attentive and polite to the extent he puts you at ease. Enjoyed very much dining is Nonna and I. ”
“ Went to Nonna and I's recently and had an awesome experience. I ordered the vodka pasta, and it was seriously good - the sauce was rich and full of flavour, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. You can tell they use quality ingredients. I was served by Andrea, who was super friendly and professional. She made the whole experience so enjoyable - checked in at the right times and made sure everything was spot on. The service overall was quick and smooth, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was relaxed but lively. Overall, it was a great afternoon out with excellent food and service. I’d definitely go back, especially for that vodka pasta. ”
