It was my first time trying out this place the food was delicious everything was excellent I had a great experience here I would totally recommend to try out. I had read a lot of bad comments about this place the past months but it’s actually great now, apparently there is a new chef😁

Staff were all friendly and extremely helpful with identifying the perfect meal for myself and my family. Not a crowded or claustrophobic place, but instead you can breathe and take in the accouterments and strong Italian theme. Every item we've had was exquisite except one time where chicken was overcooked, but the chef himself came out and fixed the problem immediately. Also, try the Gelato. To die for.

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.

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. The restaurant was quiet, tuesday at lunch. There are wines from different regions of Italy for sale along with ice cream and meats and cheeses (sandwich shop). Portions are generous.

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. April 2022: still delicious.

Went there this evening for my friends birthday. 1st of all Timothy the Executive Chef greeted us, made drinks at the bar was our server and Chef. They need wait staff but due to covid we all know. He was SUPER. The meal took a while but this is how Italians actually eat in Italy and we were talking and were undecided. We were having a great time. Talking to each other and Timothy. We had the Calamari appetizer which was cooked perfectly. Not rubbery like if fried too long. We drank some wine and cocktails and then when dinner came out I loved my calzone. Had to take 1/2 home. We had 2 New Yorkers with us who said the food was good just not the same as New York but that is to be expected. The other 2 ladies in our party said their dishes were super. Then we had desert. My Tiramisu was super and the sorbet and Gelato was fantastic. Then the New Yorkers loved the canolli. They said it was just like at home. At this time we closed the place and got to meet the Owner. Mr Nundini was a hoot. Super funny and tells the best stories. So if you want to eat fast food go to Olive Garden. Good food is served here with time spent actually talking to the people you are with. Grazie mille per una buona serata Mr Nundini e Mr Timothy

Absolutely amazing!!! I came to Nundini's @ 10 years ago and would get their most delicious caprese sandwiches. The place has grown since then with a beautiful interior. There is an ample dining room, great private dining rooms to rent for events, a small Italian market with the best coffee (Lavazza), a deli case with classic Italian meats and cheeses and gelato. However, most importantly, the food is still amazing. We went simple and got the fettuccini Alla pana and the margarita pizza. The noodles tasted fresh and the sauce was light. There pizza was delicious too. If you are looking for classic and amazing Italian food with a great ambiance, then this is the place. The service for pick up was perfection. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

Going to give a 4 star just for Isabel alone. If it was not for her running around basically taking care of the whole restaurant from front of the house, to taking our order, to even pulling a pizza out of the oven, this place would have collapsed. The food was great. I had the papardelle ragu, tasty bolognese sauce. Daughter and Mac N Cheese which was amazing for mac n cheese. Almost should be renamed as more of pasta dish the cheese was so good. But yes to add to other comments I hope they can figure out a bit more staff. The food is great they just need to ensure it is getting to the table. There were a couple lulls but again Isabel saved the evening. Kudos to her.
