Our dining experience was marked by lengthy waiting times and confusion. From the moment we placed our order to the time the food arrived at our table, we endured a wait of fifty-two minutes. The extended delay caused considerable confusion, and despite our inquiries about ordering something quick like soup to satiate our hunger, we were assured that our order was next up. Consequently, we waited an additional twenty-five minutes before our food arrived.

One of our favorite local places! We love the atmosphere featuring regional wine displays. We’ve found the food to be consistently very good and authentic. We typically go towards the latter part of the lunch hours, which yields a quiet and private experience. The lunch prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food provided. The linguine with pesto, with addition of an optional protein like grilled chicken, is a standout. The pesto is a creamy and delicious adaptation. Veal Parmesan and Penne Sugo Rosa with meatballs were also excellent choices. Nundini’s is definitely on the short list of restaurants to take friends visiting from out of town.

We used to live in the heights and it’s was one of our favorite restaurants. Last time we came was probably 2 to 3 years ago (prior to the COVID) and tonight we were a little bit disappointed. The appetizers were very good but the main course not as good as in the past. Risotto overcooked, spaghetti à la carbonara too salty, the steak was good….we were initially pleased to come back but we honestly left frustrated.

Ordered a safe choice on the menu at lunch time. Pasta with tomato sauce and some vegetables. It is called Fusilli San Marino. I was happy with the pasta. It was al dente, and had a flavorful tomato sauce and savory mushrooms and some artichoke quarters hidden in the middle. I had the bruschetta appetizer as well. My favorite was definitely the pasta. Would order it again. Filling. Perhaps I didn’t need an appetizer.

Our first visit an unfortunately the service was so disappointing , our server Leigh was either totally distracted or had no clue. We arrived at 7:00 PM and seated promptly our waitress never came by with the exception to ask what we wanted to drink, we finally flagged another waitress to place our order. We eventually asked one of the other staff if we could have some bread, In the meantime our water ran out and again still no waitress and had to ask for refills.

“Never judge a book by its cover!” Tucked away in a warehouse in the iconic Heights this place proved to be amazing. Truly authentic, made to order, fresh Italian cuisine. The establishment has 3 bars and several rooms to be rented out for private dining or events. Equipped with a market of imported Italian delicacies and fresh gelato bar, you can’t go wrong. Not to mention the abundant choice of regional wines to pick from is incredible. 10/10 recommend if you are not in a rush and want to enjoy some delicious Italian cuisine.

My husband and I went here for date night last night and chef Timothy promised us a great night and he wasn’t kidding. After talking to us he told us he told us just to leave it to him and he would surprise us and that was what we did. From start to finish everything was delicious. The fresh bread with olive oil and spices was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. He brought a charcuterie board with the most fresh and delicious cheeses and meats and olives/ veggies. Then the tomato risotto was so good but we didn’t finish it all only to leave space for more because we knew more was coming. He brought out the main dish which was included tasty octopus, fish, the best clams ever, and perfectly cooked rib eye steaks. We finished the night with some fresh Gelato i chose pistachio and pineapple cheesecake and my husband chose chocolate. We even purchased a bottle of wine. Honestly everything was exquisite and the service was superb. We’re definitely coming back. I even heard the neighboring couple tell him that they had the best lasagna they had ever tasted so it wasn’t just us that were happy and having a great night. I can’t wait to try it oh and the pizza because it looked delicious. They had the piano playing which added some romance to the mood. We lived it! Strongly recommend it.

Wow! What a great place. The food is arguably the best in town. The pasta and pizza are wonderful. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. They aren’t only a restaurant, but also a small store as well. You can purchase oils, sauces, pasta, meats, and much more. They have an event space too that is beautiful. I wish I had known of this place earlier. My wife and I will definitely be back.

The food is just ok, I was expecting a better quality of the pizza toppings. The risotto was too cooked for Italian standards (but to be fair, in US they like it more mushy). The gelato was ok. The calamari and the octopus were a bit rubbery

My daughter and i stopped by here today and we were very impressed. They have a great wine selection, the food was perfect and the waiters were professional and polite. The decor was great and the restaurant was clean. Don’t forget to get some gelato on your way out.
