Nonna Luisa

It was really good. The special menu is very special and we both ordered off of it. The owner greets you in Italian. But he corrected staff in from of customers, which i find uncomfortable. The cannoli was one of the best I’ve had and the macchiato was pretty good. Hubs said the tiramisu was really good. Food was hot and yummy!

Do you need reservations? Yes. Is it spendy? Yes. If you stop reading there, this place isn't for you. I have ate several places since moving to Washington many, many years ago. And this, by far, is the absolute best restaurant I have been to in the whole state, if not in my whole life. Every single morsel that came to our table was layered with fresh, complex flavors. Our party of 5 were passing forks, plates, & rave reviews of each new bite. Bruschetta? Something so simple has zero business being THAT GOOD! Nor were they greedy with the amout of toppings either. I honestly can't tell you the name of my dish. For one it was a special. For another, I honestly couldn't pronounce it. I can tell you it was $50. Again, there are cheaper options, but if this again stops you there, this place may not be for you. It was a round pasta in crab, lobster bisque with a seafood medley. Scallops were thicck (2Cs, no mistake), clams were few, good amount of seafood over all. With muscles, clams, even calamari. Do I recommend it? Have you ever had food so good, you actually have to close your eyes & hold those flavors on your tongue? No? How about flavors so good, so beautiful that your mouth waters while you are chewing it? This was that meal. This while restaurant was. Over 5 dishes came to our table. From high dollar specials (more than my plate, to the humble & grateful $8 Bruschetta.) To the free bread. It was all amazing & worth the price. My husband had a pork special that was so amazing with mushrooms that was so tender a knife never came out. It was what I could only describe as the beefiest pork I've ever had, & I don't mean bulk. You can actually pick out specific flavors. It was all just... wow! I see why they are so busy & highly recommend. At 5:30pm on a Saturday they were packed. A lovely lady played wonderful skilled music. The owner was so sweet & funny to guests. The staff down to the servers, & cleaners were amazing. Our waitress Jessica KushKush a sweetheart & awesome about answering all our questions, & we had a lot! Was funny, professional, but still remained light-hearted. The chef was super friendly & approached us a few times to talk of our meals, travels, & love of style. Not in any way that was lingering with any staff either. The whole evening was just wonderful. Would definitely recommend & be back as a treat. You can dress up or down, which was honestly a bit cool. You never felt too good or not good enough here. You just felt, welcome. And yes, no food pics. It was love at first bite & we never thought about pictures.

The food was incredible! The employees were amazing. They were so busy and didn't miss a beat. We were seated at the bar and had view of the kitchen. They didn't have an empty burner the entire time we were there. The husband as well as the guest next to me (who said she was up here house shopping form CA) said it perfectly, "it's like a dinner show". I work about a block away and every evening I come outside of work I can smell the food cooking. It smells delicious and makes everyone hungry at work. I am sad it took 2 years to finally try it and we will definitely be back!

Your dinner is held at a romantic, candle light,linen draped table with live accordion music serenading the establishment throughout the meal. Service is out of this world. Astronomical! The food is deliciously hunger quenching. I highly suggest eating off the chefs menu for an explosion of flavors that will dance across your taste buds. The cocktails were fabulous and I recommend the chocolate cream martini...or two!! Don't pass up the dessert menu and snag a little treat before you leave. I will love revisiting Nonna Luisa Ristorante very soon!

I honestly cannot say enough nice things about Nonna's. Between the ambiance, the amazing food and the service this is mine & my husbands go to for EVERY date night. I've even started taking my kids on dates there because they love the authentic Italian food. Thank you for always giving me a full stomach when I leave and for giving us the feeling of being in Italy for an hour or so. Can't wait until we see you again!

This place is a hidden gem! The food was outstanding. It is the best Italian food I have had outside NYC. The service was great. Our server checked in enough to ensure we were OK but we never felt hurried or pushed. Did I mention the food. Amazing! I have nothing but glowing accolades for this amazing restaurant!

I've been here a couple times now and this place does not disappoint! I recommend calling for reservations as it fills up quickly. The menu is a combination of classic Italian fixtures like Rigatoni Bolognese or Chicken Parmesan mixed with their daily specials which are all over the board with many options for surf or turf. All the pasta is house made and they have GF pasta if that's what you need. The service is very solid and they make you feel like you're with family. The food is made from the heart and is delicious. They also have a decent Italian wine selection and a full bar. Definitely the best Italian in the Skagit Valley. Highly recommended.
