Food was amazing, I had the chicken marsala and it was the best I’ve ever tasted, very flavorful! The staff were so friendly and they have some N.A. beers on the menu as well! I never had to wonder where to server was for refills or boxes, and with how generous the portions are I needed one! Prices didn’t break the bank and it’s great to have a nice italian place in Mentor. I hope they are a permanent fixture, will be back SOON!

Don’t miss this little gem! Work bright me to town and google brought me to Nonna T’s. It’s a cute little restaurant in an old charming house. The staff is all so very welcoming and happy to offer meal suggestions. I had the house salad (big enough for 3-4) and cheese tortellini with creamy marinara sauce. Everything was very good and I could have easily made 3 meals out of it!

I recently had the pleasure of hosting my daughter’s baptism at Nonna T’s Italian Restaurant and I cannot express enough how exceptional the experience was. From start to finish, the team went above and beyond to ensure that our special day was nothing short of perfect. Nonna and her son Sunny came out several times during the occasion to greet the guests. Firstly, the staff was outstanding. They greeted us with warm smiles and made us feel right at home. Their attention to detail and genuine care for our needs was evident throughout the entire event. They were incredibly accommodating, ensuring that every guest was taken care of, from the youngest to the oldest. Now, let’s talk about the food – it was phenomenal! Each dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. It was clear that the chefs take immense pride in their craft, and it truly showed in every bite. Many of our guests raved about the meal and even requested the restaurant’s information for their future gatherings. They exceeded all expectations and made my daughter’s baptism a day to remember. Thank you to the entire team for your outstanding service and exquisite food – we will certainly be back!

What a great little restaurant in Mentor OH. Sonny took care of me tonight, one of the owners, I had the Eggplant Parm appetizer, the red sauce was excellent. then had the special for the night a grilled meal chop, cooked to a perfect medium rare. Nonna came over and offered me some of their mushroom marsala sauce to go over it made it extra special. great old fashioneds to accompany my meal. I will definitely be back next time I am in area.

The staff, our server Tim and Nonna were very personable and made it a memorable experience. Definitely will be coming again!

We have heard good things about Nonna T’s and decided to stop in right at 4 when they opened when we were in the neighborhood. We were seated automatically and the waitress was very sweet to our toddler and prompt with making suggestions and telling us the specials. This first thing I commented on to my husband was how clean the restaurant is and how nice the atmosphere is. We also had our 3 month old who was very fussy (screaming and crying actually) and I didn’t get to sit and eat my meal due to consoling her. Nonna came out and not only offered to hold my crying baby, but made my toddler special butter noodles without asking (which she loved). I went out to my car to feed my baby and Nonna brought me tiramisu, explaining she felt bad that I didn’t get to enjoy my hot meal. When my husband and toddler came out to the car with my boxed food, I was surprised to see Nonna carrying the car seat and diaper bag! It was like having family take care of us at the restaurant and we will definitely be returning. There aren’t a lot of restaurants like this. The food was excellent and authentic, prices are very reasonable. I can’t express my love for this place even though I ironically didn’t get to eat inside. I cannot recommend enough. Grazie mille, Nonna

My family and I just ate here today for Mother’s Day. We were a group of 12, and we know it can be challenging serving a party that size. It was nothing short of a great experience for all of us! Although some of my party have eaten here before, it was mine and my wife’s first time dinning at Nona T’s. The service was awesome- everyone greeted and served you with a smile, the atmosphere was very upscale feeling- yet cozy, and the food was AMAZING! Having a wife that has strong Italian roots, we are big critics on Italian food, and I might dare to say this is the best Italian restaurant in the area. I wish I took photos of our food, but everyone’s dishes were delicious and huge portions. The chicken piccata I had was amazing and this restaurant is 1 of 2 restaurants I will ever order chicken piccata at. Personally, for the experience, quality, and flavor- I think the pricing is very reasonable- especially for a small business. We all thought it was an amazing touch that Nonna herself went around to the tables to introduce herself and see how everything was. Overall top notch experience, and I can’t say enough good things about Nonna T’s! I can’t wait to go back and try more of their delicious food!

We stopped here for our anniversary, DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE OUTSIDE LOOKING LIKE A NORMAL HOUSE. Inside you would never known it was, the inside is beautiful and was some of the best if not best authentic Italian food we have had. The waitresses were top notch and Nonna T was wonderful giving us connolis on the house for an anniversary gift. Highly recommend going here if you are looking for great food and service.
