    Gemelli and chef special risotto
    Brennan K.

    Quick helpful service, amazing place to see the sunset, and great chef specials. I understand why t books out in advance. We were able to snag a last minute reso at 5 o'clock thanks to a cancellation and we enjoyed the whole experience. Lovely staff, plus our food was quick and delicious. We got the gemelli which was great in its simplicity, and the perfect about of sauce, along with the chef special risotto which had scallops, asparagus and sun dried tomato's. The scallops were cooked to perfection, which isn't easy, and left us wanting more. Portion sizes were great, we only got two entrees and did not leave feeling hungry, however their appetizer menu looked great and will definitely try some more items on future visits!

    If you're looking for authentic Italian food in a charming atmosphere- look no further than La Nonna! I'm Italian & this place is legit!! The service friendly and helpful. So many options on the menu that they have something for everyone with a great wine list by the glass or bottle !

    Everything about this meal was lovely. It was super cozy inside for a winter day and we were seated by a large window where we could look down on the town. The staff was kind and funny and let us sit there and unwind after a day of skiing. It's a two story building so you do a coat check with someone downstairs (make sure you say hi to the cute dog there) and then Mae your way upstairs to the bar and restaurant. No complaints about the food, it was so delicious and we were trying everyone's dishes. The calamari was the star of the show and everyone loved their pastas. The sorbet was divine and while the bill was pricy, the quality of the food matched the cost.

    This place is too good! The food is toooooo yummy!!!! I like Italian and always go to Italian restaurants when I travel. For ten years, I've never found an Italian place that better then the one I had on Upper East Side of Manhattan which was a family owned restaurant. But last night we went to La Nonna, and surprisingly we found this amazing place! The price also very reasonable! Love it beyond words!

    My favorite little gem in Vail, with great views if you can get seated near a window. The place can fill up fast, but is one of the best restaurants in Vail. Everything is amazing, I've never had a bad thing. The service is efficient and friendly, a must try when in Vail.

    Mushroom ravioli - - orgasmic
    T W.

    Some hits and some misses The hits: my mushroom ravioli was orgasmic, especially if you like truffles. Also their focaccia was excellent however they charge for the bread. This should have been complimentary as virtually all restaurants do. The lavender dream cocktail was very good as well. - refreshing and not too sweet. The ambiance , bar and artwork were very nice. The misses: we ordered the special veal piccata and I'm still trying to figure what they were thinking. ( see picture ). It looked more like veal Marsala but with no flavor. We asked the waitress and she said oh they add a demi-glacé sauce - well that's not veal piccata which is typically nice and lemony. The Ceasar salad was marginal at best and we split it but they bought out a salad on one plate. Fortunately we asked them to cut it in half and they did. Another miss was our waitress - she never even came by and asked us how our meal was but she would come by and weirdly tuck the napkin in and around the remaining bread in the bread basket without saying a word and the. Just move on. Weird

    Burrata

    My friends and I had a wonderful time at La Nonna. I had heard mixed reviews beforehand, so I went in with low expectations, which may have made the food and ambiance feel even more impressive. For appetizers, we tried the focaccia, burrata, and calamari. The focaccia was diced into small pieces, which I found a bit odd, but it tasted good. The burrata and calamari were delicious--I'd definitely order them again. For the main course, we shared the short rib, mushroom ravioli, and vodka pasta. Everything was stellar. The mushroom ravioli was incredibly rich, so I'm glad I didn't get it as my sole dish. It was fabulous, but too heavy for a whole plate. The short rib with mashed potatoes was delicious, but my favorite was the vodka pasta. Its simplicity was perfect, and it was executed so well. We also tried the tiramisu for dessert, but I could have skipped it. It wasn't bad, just not memorable compared to other tiramisus I've had. As for the service, it was just okay. We had a strange interaction with our server when we asked her to bring olives with my friend's Venetian Spritz since we noticed theirs didn't come with one. She responded by saying it was weird and that she had never heard of it, almost as if she didn't believe us. It was odd because, if you look it up, that's what a Venetian Spritz is. She also took quite a while to check on us between visits, though they were very busy. Overall, the service didn't ruin our experience, but it could have been better.

    Ravioli with truffle
    Sam P.

    Hands down our favorite meal in Vail!! I don't even like pasta that much but loved this!! Small, cute, intimate restaurant so reservations are suggested ! We had an amazing experience! We began with cocktails and some appetizers! Octopus was excellent and tuna was one of the best presentations of tuna crudo o have ever had! Then we had the pasta course and this pasta hater finished her dish / maybe it was the 4 hour hike that preceded this - maybe it was the truffle as I love truffle anything - or maybe it was just that damn good! A spectacular meal in Vail and one that took the honor of best meal of this trip !!

    V for Vendetta's or "Very Lacking"?…read more I went ahead and placed a reservation for 6:30 and showed up a little early but still had to wait ten minutes for a table. There was a vacant one outside in a nice spot, yet I was told that it was meant to accommodate a bigger party. I was with four others, and the table looked like a five-seater, so it was left empty for an hour, for no clear reason. The hostess came over to pour some water and spilled the pitcher all over the table without a word, which also got all over someone in our party's phone. Even though it took her a minute to go grab a rag and wipe everything up, an apology wouldn't seem entirely out of line. And then after ordering our meals, we waited... And waited... And waited... And waited... And waited some more... And kept waiting... And after an hour we finally got one pizza and a single bolognese dish, which arrived cold and with a sauce reminiscent of Chef Boyardee's. I knew they were busy, but this entire evening was just one disappointment after another. I'd give it half a star more just because of how wonderful their outdoor seating area is and the memories that I've had coming here in the past, but what a drastic decrease in quality and service. C'mon, Vendetta's, I know you have it in you to do better than this, but for now, I have to say that I have a vendetta against you!

They have the cutest spritz window experience on the 3rd floor of the Four Seasons. It was such a fun, different way to kick off the night! Price: Around $18 per drink. With a tip, you're looking at about $20-$25. My opinion going out to get a drink is expensive but it's Vail! If you go to Vail you know things will cost more. I personally think it was worth it and would come back. Customer Service: The service was great! You just ring the bell at the window and someone comes to help you pretty quickly. They were very kind and efficient. Atmosphere: It's very relaxing. We sat outside in their outdoor patio area which had a fire pit and seating. It was the perfect spot to just sit, talk, and get to catch up with each other. Drinks: I got the Barca Spritz, which is a blood orange flavor. It was refreshing and cute. My friend got the Limoncello Spritz, which she really enjoyed. Overall Experience: This was such a fun hidden gem moment for our girls night. I would definitely go back just for the drinks and the outdoor patio fire! Pro Tip: A huge bonus for this location is the parking! You can park for free after 3 PM at a nearby lot the S. Frontage Rd. East garage right nearby. I'll definitely be back!
