One of the best meals I've had! Service was impeccable and the restaurant itself is so cute! The complimentary bread with the amazing olive oil was the perfect starter. We also got the lamb carpaccio and yellowfin tartar as appetizers and oh my god!!! Both were so flavorful and absolutely delicious! Our main entrees were the lamb ragu with tagliatelle and their special of the day pasta which was wild boar ragu with parpadelle and again both left us so happy and satisfied with their rich and delicious flavors. The hand made pasta was so yummy and cooked to perfection! We were being real greedy and decided to get dessert so we got the chocoholic which was out of this world decadent and chocolatey! It was the perfect end to a fantastic dinner. I can't wait to come back to Ojai just so I can come here again.

I had one of my best Italian meals at Nocciola! I went with two other people, and we ordered family style. We shared an absolutely amazing steak, rissoto, and two salads. Everything was both simply and spectacularly prepared, and the service was professional and friendly. I had a Barrolo by the glass that was worth every penny. We all had our own desserts, which were also delicious.

The ambiance was nice. Staff was friendly. We expected much more and were a little disappointed. One of us had a salad and there wasn't much flavor. The other person had beef tenderloin ravioli and that was super disappointing. Needless to say, we won't come back for the food but maybe for a glass of wine on the patio.

Highly recommend for a date night in Ojai! The ambiance is super cute, looks like an house that was remodeled. We were seated on the porch area, tons of heaters so we were nice and warm even in the chilly evening. Service was great, everyone was super attentive, helpful, and informative and the food came out very quickly. Food: - They split the salad for us which was great and it was also delicious and the scallops were SO good (heads up they only come with two). - pasta is clearly freshly home made and perfectly al dente. I got the ravioli which was really good! - dessert was also solid, we got the puff pastry dessert and it kinda tasted like nutella esque filling. Light but a perfect filling dessert.

I took my girlfriend for a special night with the 6 course tasting menu. 4/5 courses were awesome and the service was perfect. The main course was a burnt strip steak that was rare and it was not good. I weekly cook a strip or ribeye that is far superior and was a shocking let down from the rest of the meal. Service was great and they brought us drinks to make up but we were really let down from the other courses. If you’re not a fan of steak then this a great meal. Service is amazing. Anthony wanted to help us but there’s no way to help with the main course is a style that’s unusual.

Took my mom for an elegant dinner and this place came through with flying colors. Service was excellent, food and drinks yummy, and they were very accommodating of my mom's food allergies. I can't wait to go again. Definitely make a reservation in the weekend.
Yummy upscale italian in a cute little house. We got a duck ragu that was delish. Great for a date.

The sauteed radicchio special was no good. The veggies on the korbota chop plate were soggy and the sweet potato hash tasted like it was made 3 days ago. Not a good experience and not what i remember from this restaurant.

Pork was overcooked and dry. Scallops were amazing! My tequila cocktail was lacking for the price point. If the pork was not dry I would have rated this differently.Dietary restrictions: Able to accommodate gluten allergy

We couldn't stop talking about the food. It wasn't the boldness of the flavors but rather how dialed in - how balanced - they were. I'm not sure I've had better food. We had the scallops for an appetizer. Then followed that with the Rigatoni & Tortelli. And the ricotta cheesecake for dessert. When we weren't talking we were groaning. What an unbelievable experience. Can't wait to come back!
