We truly enjoyed every single item that we ordered. The house made bread was so delicious. If you choose to get seated downstairs you will walk right past where they make their home made pasta which is so cool to see. It has a really cute and cozy ambiance. Overall this modern Italian establishment was amazing and if we have time we may just go back for more menu items

I had a good experience here, but I felt like it was sort of an everyday type of experience at…read morespecial occasion prices, which I guess is what I get for choosing a restaurant in the heart of the tourist district. It was the most expensive meal I had in Prague, and while the food was good, for these prices, I expect to either be really impressed by the food or to have particularly special service or ambiance. Because I didn't have a reservation, I was seated in the entry hallway; the ambiance may be a little nicer in the downstairs dining room. I had the spinach tagliatelle, tiramisu, and a lime iced tea. I thought the candied walnuts in the pasta were interesting and I really liked the dish. The tiramisu was good but not a standout, though I liked how the bitterness of the espresso came through. Lime iced tea was pretty sweet and more lime than tea, but it was nice even if it wasn't what I expected. If you don't care too much about prices, this is a good place, I just think there are comparatively good Italian restaurants at a better price if you go a little further from the major tourist areas.

The most negative thing I can say about Nonna Gina is that they only take cash…read more Nonna Gina is a cute small restaurant found in the medieval looking streets of Cesky Krumlov. The outside is a cute unassuming restaurant front. Downstairs you have the kitchen and a gorgeous staircase up to the dining area. The restaurant seating is small so coming early or making a reservation is a great idea. The food here was top notch Italian food. The pizza tasted fresh and was authentic. The pasta was equally amazing. Prices are fair, albeit in cash. I do wish they had some different beers on tap as there is something inherently wrong with drinking Budweiser in one of the beer capitals of the world. Overall, NG is really top notch and one of the better meals I had in weeks of eating out throughout Czech Republic.

She seemed slightly annoyed by our request but also made sure we didn't have to wait crazy long for our food. I ordered (and shared) a white pizza with spinach and speck. My friend ordered a salad. We both really enjoyed our meal, and I'd daresay this one of my all-time favorite, most memorable meals in the Czech Republic. Everything tasted really fresh and you could even see the chef making the pizzas. The atmosphere was bright and airy -- good for family outings, for casual meals with friends, and for anyone in the mood for Italian.

Both nights visiting this restaurant we met other couples who were on this trip with us. This is such a comfortable restaurant, very rustic with much character. Helene and I usually do the same types of meals in Italian restaurants. Pizza, pasta or put them together and get a Lasagna. We did pizza, pasta and salads here. Food is delicious. It fresh, and the ingridiants are very rich and tasty. This is one of the reasons I like the food overseas so much... it's always very fresh and cooked to order. The staff here was wonderful. We were seated quickly and they were very attentive to take our order and serve food. They were quick but did not rush us through dinner. Overall I can not reccomend this lovely retaurant enough.

The outdoor seating area includes a playground for kids too :) Would highly recommend the spaghetti aglio olio e peperoncino if you can take spicy, and the pizza prosciutto di parma. The pasta is hand-made; very tasty and slightly chewy (a bit on the harder side, which I personally like). Excellent prosciutto on the pizza and tasty crust (not too thin, but not too thick either). The mixed salad with cheese and olives and the spaghetti bolognese were solid choices as well. We had a very patient and helpful waiter, service was excellent and we left feeling replenished and satisfied!

I was wandering around the center looking for a coffee place open on a Sunday morning and found cafe retro. Staff was very kind, spoke English, Czech and some German. Interior is very classy but still casual. Very clean, neat and organized- I think couples, single and small groups best for here. Kid ah, maybe if they are well behaved. More a place to be social but people are still working on their laptops because here comes the shocker....they have free wifi!!!! Not many places here do besides hotels so that's a selling point. Their prices are fair for the location, 50 crowns for latte, 35 for espresso and so on. They also have quite a few different brews to choose from-impressive If you're a coffee lover in this small town with not many options. They also have some real food here too so if you get hungry while here don't worry, you don't even have to leave. Think pizza, pasta and steak amount others. All looked delicious. I would recommend this place to anyone in cesky krumlov- great hangout!
