Truly wonderful. Went twice and everything we had was great. Very accommodating. Xxxx

Just got back from having dinner at La Nonna. They are participating in Vail Restaurant week and all pasta dishes are $20.19. My boyfriend got rigatoni with Italian Sausage in a spicy tomato sauce and I got pasta with seafood in a light tomato sauce. All noodles are homemade, the chef is from Italy and the dishes were authentic. Service was top notch from the hostess to our server. Also loved the Chianti wine and homemade breads that I had. I loved the atmosphere and will definitely return and recomend this place to friends. read more

Delicious fresh Italian and a friendly wait staff! Always love to go when in the Vail area!

Amazing Homemade Italian, Perfected! My husband and I started out with a bottle of Vencia Ronco del Cerò and the bruschetta and both were phenomenal!! Next, he had the caesar which was good but I didn't love the crispy breadcrumbs on top. I ordered the pasta special that night which was tagliatelle, shrimp, tomatoes, white wine and basil and it was so simple and so delicious!! My husband had the mushroom ravioli with truffle oil and that was even better. His dish was very rich and we ended up swapping dinners halfway thru and happy we did that as we both loved each pasta dish. We finished the dinner with a complementary glass of limoncello as it was our anniversary. We both said this was one of the best dinners we have had!! read more

We wanted to eat Italian and asking around the name that kept coming up was La Nonna. We were told that the owner and the chef are Italian, and that all the pasta is homemade. We didn't make a reservation and the place was full, luckily there was room to sit at the bar. Both bartenders, the female and the male, were delightful. We had a nice Negroni for cocktail. One dish, the gemelli alla vodka e prosciutto, was well made, tender and very tasty. The second dish, gnocchi alla bolognese, was well made, yet it didn't grab me. To finish the night we ordered a homemade limoncello, very well-made, thick, and with perfect balance of sour and sweetness. read more

Accommodating receptionist, great service, Gnocchi with vodka (not on menu) and the scallopini were wonderful. Great cocktails. read more

Excellent service and the restaurant overall was accommodating to our requests. 5 stars! Cocktails we had were also amazing another 5 star The food, well it was ok. We had the bruschetta, tagiatelle, malfati and a special veal entree that was the daily special. None of them wowed me in any way so I have to give the food 3 stars. Overall we had a great time at the restaurant but i was hoping for something that would be out of this world from the reviews I had read read more

What happened to la nonna?! Trying to rush everyone in and turn tables is not a good experience for diners! Its insulting to guests. Waiter talking so fast we couldnt understand the specials. He was not engaging or welcoming at all. My meal was cold and not what I ordered. Waiter wasnt listening to me, yet I was very clear on my order. Everyone at the table heard me. We all just looked at each other the entire dinner wondering what has happened to La Nonna? The entire vibe was off. Food was just okay, not great and the tables pastas were cold. we waited long periods before being attended to which was off putting. Just not a good experience. read more

Amazing food! This place is a must!! The prosciutto and melon is are favorite as well as the mushroom ravioli!!

Heard about this place from a few friends that had been earlier in the year. The restaurant gave the feel that you were in an Italian mountain town. The waitress was extremely helpful with great suggestions and even suggested we split a small order of both the pastas we were deliberating about that would accompany our lamb chops (see images). We had a light white Italian wine that was very good but I neglected to capture the name. We probably should have gone red given our food choices but with the sun and dryness of the mountain air, we were looking for something light and refreshing that evening. Nevertheless, this is a great spot to try out! Enjoy! read more

Friday night, Feb 8. What fantastic experience. Surprising to be honest. Campo was very good, this was great. The wine selection is surprisingly diverse and offered not only good Italian wines, but a nice selection of Napa cabs. I favor the old standard 2015 Clos Du Val, which was perfect with dinner. The atmosphere, lighting, layout of the dining was really nice. I cannot say enough about the service front eh hostess stand, to the wait staff. They were did a fabulous job of balancing being on top of the service with giving you time to enjoy the meal and company. The Antipasta Burrata Fresca was fresh, the tomato and basil pesto was a wonderful compliment to the cold Burrata. For the main, I had Gnocchi Ala Bolognese. OMG - the gnocchi was done perfectly, and the meat sauce was a beautiful light red, and tasted like it had just been made (which it probably was). For desert, the creme brulee was divine. Although the caramel top was just a tad bit thin (to me), the taste was perfection. Thank you for the amazing meal, great atmosphere and even better service. read more

Food was good. Service was rushed. The waiter would ask if everything was ok, and would move on to the next table before we could even answer, which I could understand if it was a holiday weekend or something. But this was on a Monday night. Bread is an extra charge, which is fine but I've never seen this at any other restaurant. What tipped the scale for me was when we ordered the mousse for dessert and basically received a dish of whipped cream and a side of mousse, ratio was like 4:1. And the manager really could have cared less. It's unfortunate because the food was tasty and the restaurant has potential for greatness. It just takes the management to actually care a little about their customers experience to make all the difference. Overall- food tasty, service rushed, management stingy and indifferent. read more

The food is good, about what you'd expect from an Italian restaurant in Vail. The food is just as good, though at Vendetta's and much more reasonable. The real issue is the attitude. My wife ordered a martini and it came about 1/2 full. When the waitress returned, my wife mentioned the very short martini. There's a restaurant back home that has "Teeny Tini" nights on Thursdays, where they serve mini-martinis for $5.00. This one, however was $15. The waitress said that they use very large glasses and a martini is only supposed to be 3 ounces. I asked her how large their glasses were and she said they were 8 ounces. First of all, we did not need a class on weights and measures from our waitress. Second, and more importantly, this was not the first martini my wife ever ordered. Not even the first martini in Vail. It was, however, the first time any of us ever saw such a skimpy martini and then have the waitress defend it. We spend 60 - 80 days a year in Vail and have eaten at all the restaurants and seen martinis served in all of them. Without exception, martini glasses are filled very near the rim. Here's the kicker: My wife ordered a second martini and told the waitress to have the bartender fill it up. The waitress replied that there might be an "up charge." The second martini was just slightly more full than the first, but we didn't notice any up charge on the bill. If you want to charge $20 for a martini, that's fine, as long as you fill the glass. Just don't insult customers with your interpretation of a full glass. read more

Food was decent, but what really turned me off this restaurant was the service. My boyfriend and I (21 & 22 years old) are visiting Vail as a last minute weekend getaway and decided to try this place. As soon as we walked up to the host stand we were told by the manager there were going to be no tables available and to find a seat at the bar. Originally not an issue, but we later overheard the same manager offering a couple sitting by us who also didn't have a reservation a table on the patio. When we sat down, we were approached by the bartender who was nice but definitely viewed us as college students. I ordered the Cacio e Pepe, however the bartender determined I didn't know what I was ordering and proceeded to ask me if I was sure with my decision then explained the dish to me. Not only is this strange but also partially offensive because the man next to me ordered it, but was not questioned. Once we got our food everything was fine, until we asked for our check. As soon as we made it known we were leaving, they began clearing everything from in front of us then proceeded to wipe down the bar while we were still sitting there. As a fellow employee in the hospitality industry, I find it completely unprofessional to wipe down a table when a guest is present unless there was a spill. The entire meal made us feel unwanted and uncomfortable. Although the food was good, I will not be returning to this restaurant. read more

I don't dole out 5 stars often, this could be, on many fronts the best of the area. Maybe one of the best Italian restaurants I've been at. Very attentive, and present management. The menu is excellent, and while hitting all the usual fair, but with plenty of creative dishes. Had many of them, they are all very tasty and well prepared. Great wine list, great food, and fun place to be. If you eat at one restaurant here.....it should be this one, read more

One of the best restaurants in Vail! Great food and excellent wine list. Bartenders are good and pour generous drinks!

This restaurant is the best in Vail. Do yourself a favor and get a reservation - it seems everyone knows about this gem. We actually got pasta and sauce "to go" to make back at our suite. The wine list is extensive. The food was absolutely amazing. The service was also five stars. I can't wait to come back to Vail just to go to La Nonna. read more

Amazing food! Authentic Italian, I had lamb chops ... they melted in my mouth ... fun staff, great service! read more

La Nonna Vail - Yum! Lamb chops - Italian Near Me - Vail, Colorado

Spectacular find in Vail! Very authentic Italian food run by family. Fresh pasta is creative and delicious. The gnocchi and gemelli are not to miss. I have not seen this level of passion in food for quite some time. After we dined here this evening we cancelled our reservations for the following night and rebooked here. There is a lot to love about Vail and this restaurant is top on my list. read more

Serious kitchen, bar, and service talent. Authentic Italian vibe. Grab a Prosecco at the bar or sit out on the patio out front while they have the space. Their seafood rocks. Love it, would eat there every night if I could get my lazy butt out of bed to run or ride every morning. So good! read more

We were very glad that this opened after the we had learned that campo de fiori had closed. The atmosphere is a delightful upgrade as it is much more open and inviting. The appetizers consisted of arugula salad, minestrone soup, bruschetta and burrata which were all amazing and fresh. Our entrees were also delicious and had thoughtful and fresh ingredients. Only complaint is that there are not as many homemade pasta dishes compared to Campo. Overall a great dining experience and would recommend to anyone looking for great Italian food in Vail. read more

Vail has limited dining choices, so that may explain why these guys were almost 3/4 full. Or maybe they started their business kind of strong, and are now resting on their laurels. To share our impression in few words, our group did not see any appeal to this place.. The strict reservation policies were off-putting and the food and atmosphere are just not good. To give more detail: It felt poorly run, beginning with a bossy greeting from the coatcheck, to being ignored for several minutes while we stood at the host stand. Once seated details like low water glasses, empty cocktails glasses left on our table, the timing of being greeted and asked for our drink orders, food arrival times, feeling rushed and so on. The stand out worst dishes were the grilled seafood appetizer, which must not have had a hot enough cooking surface, because the seafood was chewy, rather than firm and charred from being cooked on high heat - and - the tiepido (tepid) appetizer was just that - so tepid and a bad combination of ingredients. The interior also felt very dated considering that we were told that it isn't an old restaurant. All in all, it was simply not an enjoyable experience and not worth the hassle. read more

Love this place! I had the Halibut special and small pieces of my family's gnocchi, ravioli, and spaghettini. Service is great and desserts were delicious, especially the tiramisu. Recommend!! read more

Called to order for my family and was rudely told they are dine in only. I should take my small children to dine in just to make them regret it! read more

Terrible meal. Only one entree was good--mushroom ravioli. Way overpriced. They even charge for ordinary focaccia. Service good

EXCELLENT across the board: * Food was wonderful (had the zucchini pasta and gnocchi - tons of flavor; thoughtfully-created / unique) * Fantastic, attentive service (despite completely full restaurant) * Warm atmosphere We were really pleased with everything and will make this a regular stop when we're in Vail. read more

We have been going to this restaurant for over 25 years when it was Campo De Fiori. I called the other day to make a reservation and I honestly have never been treated so poorly by any establishment. The reservationist was so rude and so unprofessional - the food isn't that good to deal with nasty people! All I was trying to do was to make a reservation to patron the place and she was totally off-putting. You should really consider having better receptionist. People DO have choices! read more

La nonna is understated from the outside but my wife and I spent our second evening here while we stay in Vail and we have to say from a food and service perspective it's one of the best restaurants we have visited in our two weeks here. It was always good in previous seasons but unlike a lot of other places that feel a little tired after a couple of covid years La Nonna is even better. On both visits so far we have had a super welcome from Heather, great cocktails at the bar, nice service but most importantly really good food. 100% recommended. read more

Visiting Vail for the weekend, and in the mood for Italian. Be advised, this is a walking town, parking is tricky to this restaurant's location. You'll either be paying through the nose for parking or taking a few extra blocks. But walk! And bring your appetite! Food all seemed fresh and portions were good for a multi-course meal. Everything we tried was packed with flavor. Some ingredients were locally sourced. The chef had a nice twist on some standard items. We did not have a reservation, but arrived just after they opened and the hostess easily got us a table even though it was a summer Saturday evening. Nice view from the patio, or in our case, a table just inside the patio threshold. Service was prompt and attentive. Not too chatty, but very friendly. Quaint and simple decor. Nice wine selection by the glass or bottle, and excellent bartenders with a few specialty cocktails. read more

Did not live up to the 5 star reviews in any way. Service was attentive, but the drinks and food mediocre. Wine choice was excellent but at a 3X markup? Our specialty cocktail tasted like grapefruit Spindrift. Great Italian food should be simple ingredients perfectly prepared. Dry meatballs, overcooked pasta, fishy fish dishes, bland focaccia. It resembles the reviews in no way. Maybe it's the altitude. read more

I had the best experience sitting at the bar last night, both with service and food. The bartenders were friendly and helpful, and they were engaging enough that (eating alone) I didn't feel lonely, but they were also not overbearing. I ordered the bread to start, and the Ravioli Tre Funghi as my main. I loved preparing the oil for my bread, and the pasta was absolutely delicious. The drinks were as well, and the bartender was very accommodating to requests. If you can get a table, you have to eat here on your Vail visit! read more

Really, really good food and exceptional service. You feel as though the staff really wants you to sit down, relax, order a meal and chill out. The menu was broad and we are able to pick something good each time. Atmosphere in the winter is charming, not too busy but well-attended and pleasantly crowded. I didn't pay much attention to prices but they seemed reasonable. One would expect to pay a premium because it is Vail Village, after all - this isn't the middle of Timbucktu. Easy to walk to La Nonna after parking in the parking structure. Didn't have an alcohol so can't comment on wine or spirits. read more

Highly recommend delicious food. Impeccable service friendly staff. I felt like I was in Switzerland eating here! Will be going back soon.

This definitely the best Italian restaurant in Vail. I was there couple week ago with the Wallace family. The owner she was fantastic, I loved her, great personality, great host. I will be back. read more

it is 100% worth making a reservation a month in advance to the day! great food, would eat here multiple times during a four day trip if possible! read more
