I must say that this is by far the worst Italian restaurant experience ever. Not only was it over 100 dollars for three people.. They made us order the order the food by the register could not even get a waiter and they had enough people. The iced coffee was nasty… they didn’t even know what the soup of the day was…. Never again….they should just closed down… I will never recommend this place and I will be getting a refund as it was that bad. I wouldn’t give this to my dog…

My lasagna looked like a stack of grey paper with sauce on it. It was $14. It was awful. They were nice though.

This lasagna taste like it came out of a can horrible. The only reason I gave it two stars is because the lady who took my order was super nice and the bread taste OK I will never eat here again. They call this Italian then im a watermelon

Our family strongly recommended Nonnas So Italian restaurant for lunch to us, which sits next door to Thorton's gas station off 267 in Plainfield. Parking is convenient with a private parking lot, just steps from the entrance. As you're walking to the entrance, you can't help but notice the large enclosed patio area, which will be great this summer. As you enter the small but lovely lobby area, you turn to your right to place your order at the counter. The menu is located above the counter area, and your order is delivered to your table. We felt rushed placing our order with 8 of us and 3 parties waiting behind us. Several of us had never been here before and required a few additional minutes to check out the menu. Seating is plentiful, and it's seat-yourself with booths and tables in one large area of the restaurant and a smaller seating area close to the self-serve Pepsi drink fountain. Request the carafe of fresh water vs. the soda fountain water, which tastes like the drink (lemonade) next to. This was one of the requests that was brought more than 1/2 way through lunch, and all 8 of us ordered only water to drink. Italian sodas and several coffee drinks are another beverage option. Nonnas menu offers a nice selection of classic Italian appetizers with original and stuffed breadsticks, Bruschetta, calamari, mozzarella sticks, and cassava fritti (a root vegetable similar to a potato). The pizzas looked incredible, and we were told the pizzas are excellent and not to be missed. Their New York inspired, hand tossed pizzas with homemade sauce are available in 14" and 18" with BYO (Build Your Own), Specialty and Vegetarian options. A nice selection of calzones and subs are also available. The Entree size Chef or The Works salad we ordered was a generous serving of fresh, crisp greens, sliced ham, salami, provolone cheese, diced tomatoes, black olives, cucumbers and slices of red onion served with your choice of one of their homemade dressings. The salads were fresh and delicious, but we had problems with every salad arriving with ingredients requested to be left off, and each person informed our server. However, only one was corrected because she was insistent. The server didn't seem to care when we acknowledged something wrong or requested more butter, napkins, or even a missing fork. I ordered the spinach and potato soup. I was excited to try until it arrived and appeared to be split pea, but it wasn't. Instead, it was the consistency of baby food with the flavor of browned flour. It was horrible, and I couldn't eat, and based on the concern shown previously from our server, I just let it sit. She never questioned why I only had a couple of bites and left. Nonnas offers build your own pasta or order one of the specialty pastas such as one of the chicken or shrimp alfredo linguines, Quattro cheese ravioli stuffed with 4 cheeses, meat and alfredo sauce, Pasta Primavera, Chicken Parmesan or Beef Lasagna plus more. Our group ordered the highly recommended Chicken Alfredo Linguine, and the others ordered the BYO pasta. Each said their pasta was correct and good. Each order was served with just one excellent dinner roll, but it was impossible to receive additional butter timely. A basket of rolls would be appreciated or serve with an additional roll with entrees. Even though I wanted to order Tiramisu, we felt it was not in my best interest. We most likely will not rush to return to Nonnas after the service we experience today.

We love this place. Seems genuine and down-to-earth while offering excellent flavors and options. The ordering system is a bit different - place your order at the front and then find a seat - but it’s worth it for the food. Big portions and extremely reasonable portions. Friendly and accommodating staff. Definitely give this place a try; you’ll certainly come back for more!Vegetarian options: It’s almost too easy to find vegetarian dishes here. There are many veggie pizza options and customizations readily offered, along with build your own pastas and calzones. Salads are good with a wide variety of dressings. I’ve never felt like I was missing anything with the veg dishes; they’re complete and plentiful!Parking: Parking is easy and surrounds the building in a one-way lot with slanted spaces.Kid-friendliness: The menu is vast and can be easily customized for any palette or appetite. There is a kids menu available as well.

It has been a while since I have been to Nonna’s,, but I would have given it high ratings for food and service in the past. Dined in with four other people on a Friday evening. There was a very long line at the cash register. Every time I dined there in the past, we were seated and waited on at the table. Our party, along with several other parties, sat on the benches, presumably waiting to be seated. After sitting for sometime, we got in line and asked the cashier if we were supposed to order at the cash register. He was not in the least bit friendly, and told us that we did have to order at the cash register. Why isn’t there a sign in anywhere explaining this??? If I am going to pay dining room prices, I don’t expect to be waiting in a long line and treated the way you might expect to be treated at a cheap fast food joint. We couldn’t understand why the table across from us was waited on by a server. All of us agreed that we would never go back.

Arrived at opening time. Placed my order. Sitting was wherever we wanted, being 1st and only customers. Server was prompt to bring our drinks and salads. Our pizza was brought out promptly when it was ready. The appearance of our pizza was looking on the burnt side. Everything was over cooked. The flavor seemed off, maybe because everything was over cooked. The server must have forgotten about us, because he never come by to check on us, even though he was in and out several times. Background music was nice..I give it a 2 out of 10.We will not be back.
