Great food and liked the vibe. A tad loud but the old house may need a few rugs or smaller tables. We had a chicken piccata that was so good. A salad that was delicious. Grilled carrots and the chicken shawarma special. I'd go back. Parking was kinda tough but the walk was nice and a cool street. read more

Small shareable plates menu with awesome selection of wines and cocktails. The house lasagna is the most talked about dish- it was good. Also enjoyed the roasted carrots (delicious, balanced flavor that popped), and then chicken piccata. We favored the chicken to the lasagna. Kind wait staff, helpful and attentive without being overbearing, and super cute garden seating. Quaint, intimate, will probably return! read more

Nona Bistro - New American Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

We had such a great time here! The food was delicious all around. My friend and I both got the dressed salmon filet and it was super tasty, the broccolini on the side was crisp with just the right amount of lemon. My husband ordered the New York prime steak and really enjoyed it, and our other friend was happy with the organic chicken piccata. For dessert, we split the chocolate chip cookie skillet (warm, gooey, and so good) and the olive oil pound cake, which was really yummy too. Service was excellent! Our server was friendly and on top of everything. Really loved the vibe, dining in a house turned restaurant with a charming backyard made it feel cozy and unique. There were some bees around since it's outdoors with all the greenery, but honestly it didn't ruin the evening at all. Definitely recommend! read more

Oh well ok Nona was just alright. We got a few appetizers including the Shishito peppers and the Mezze Plate, and then we shared the Chicken Shawarma and the Kale Caesar salad. The salad had zero flavor resemblance of Caesar salad but did have a freshness to it. The feta cheese and the focaccia were really a hit with us but when the chicken, the star came out it really stopped the flow of things because it had little to no flavor and was stringy; very overcooked. Otherwise, service was great, we had very low wait times for dishes to come out and enjoyed the low lite ambience. Overall, the service was the highlight as the food lacked overall creativity & flavor and it was pretty drafty inside for a winter night. read more

Well, the secret is WAY out. Last year Nona bistro was super quiet mid summer. This year, it's more like Club Nona out front with dance music and pizza being made on the grills. Out back is a more chill space with live, folksy music, a covered bar and seating among the garden. Theres something for everyone. Servers are very warm and attentive. Drinks and food are well prepared. This is my favorite spot for summer dining in Utah. read more

I REALLY wanted to love this restaurant but it wasn't it for me. My chicken piccata was burnt and too spicy for me (I can't have spicy food due to health concerns). I wish the menu had indicated it is spicy. My husband ordered the brick oven lasagna. It is on the mediums on the menu but should be in a new area called extra smalls. It was one lonely half of a lasagna noodle with some sauce and a small amount of cheese. We left still hungry after spending $75 and looking for somewhere to eat second dinner. I was so bummed because I had really been looking forward to eating there. read more

I was around the area, and this place caught my attention with their beautiful outdoor seating that looked so pretty, plus it was a fresh day to be outside. The tables are a decent size, not bad. I got the lasagna, and it was so delicious, creamy, and cheesy. The flavor was just great, and the portion was good. I also tried the grilled chicken, but it was ok. When we tried the chicken, it was quite cold, and the flavor wasn't satisfying, and for the price, I don't think it was worth it. We also tried an oil lime cake to go, and when we tasted it, it had a fridge-old cake flavor. I know for sure I will come back for the lasagna, as it has been my favorite. read more

We had dinner at Nona Bistro last night. The food was great BUT we sat outside next to the garage, and the garage door and windows were filthy. They have only one Vodka (Tito's- mid range and not our preference). They would not make a martini and had no olives. Our reservation was 6:15 pm and when done with our entree they were already out of the Olive Oil cake. Then they couldn't print a receipt because the printer was broken. read more

We came to Nona Bistro with a new sense of confidence, coming off of an amazing dinner at Contento Cafe. The ambiance in this bistro is warm and inviting as if you're eating in someone's living room. The experience was a series of highs and lows, starting with a clueless wait staff. Having worked in restaurants for years, I appreciate a well trained staff and from the jump, we weren't impressed. The official dress code, some kind of mid drift top allowing for maximum exposure, giving new meaning to the term "navel-gazing" as we had to flag down our server for our every need. The mezze plate and focaccia were wonderful and beautifully presented. The chicken was dry and greasy and disproportionally large. The lasagna was rich yet bland and could have benefited from a layer of something green, bright and fresh like a pesto. Nona Bistro has some good ideas but their execution is lacking. read more

This restaurant was a cute experience. You definitely come to this place ambiance. My hubby and I came for a date night and it was a good time. The entrance is beautiful and you walk to the garage to sit. They have fireplaces and heaters for the winter months. The staff was very friendly and took care of us well. The food was good. The cheese plate was the best thing we had tonight. The cheeses were so good! 10/10 I had the chicken piccata and my husband had the lasagna. Both those items would be a 6/10. read more

This place is super cute and I love the vibe. They have a really cute outdoor patio. There were bugs (fair warning), but that's to be expected since it is a really cute outdoor seating area with trees. They also have good music and cute lighting. Our server was awesome. She was attentive but not overbearing. We got the potatoes and shishito peppers to start. Both were great! My friend and I both ordered the salmon and really enjoyed it. My husband got the chicken piccata and thought it was delicious. He also really enjoyed the arugula side salad. My friend's husband got the steak and he enjoyed it. For dessert we tried both the olive oil cake and cookie in the skillet. Both were amazing!! I love how everything here is really simple but delicious. It is definitely on the pricier side, but I knew that going in. I was also impressed with the portion sizes. The vibe was perfect on a warm summer night and I left feeling extremely satisfied. The Diet Coke wasn't as crisp as I would like but it was still good. read more

I am a little sad to be leaving this low of a rating for Nona. I live very close by and have wanted to try it for a while. First, the good: a great setting with a lovely outdoor area and very polite service. The problem is unfortunately the food. I ordered the steak which is the most expensive item on their menu. I just about never spend that much on food but I thought it would be a nice treat that my partner could also share on her birthday (she got the lasagna). But the steak showed up about ten minutes after everyone else's food and came out well done after I had asked for medium rare. It was pretty chewy due to being overcooked. If I did this at home, I would probably scrap it and try again. Unfortunately I can't recommend Nona, especially if you want to treat yourself. Plenty of other spots nearby where you can spend a similar amount and get better quality. read more

Nona Bistro - Steak w/ chimichurri - New American Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

The vibes are incredible for patio season, I loved the backyard. The service is good, but maybe a bit slow. The food was a bit lackluster for me personally, but the serving size for the price wasn't honestly too bad. The focaccia was kinda depressing--where were the huge dimples!?!? I got the Chicken Piccata which was good, but not great. My boyfriend's Salmon was the same. read more

We went as a big group for a business dinner. The space was fun with live music and lots of people. Everything else is where the experience went down. The server while really nice was super distracted and seemed to be over stretched between tables. We ordered drinks and they sat at the bar for 20 minutes and finally I had to go up to the serving staff and ask for them. (I will add the space is outdoors with lots of bugs so the fact that our drinks just sat there for that long is a problem.) We finally then got our food which we pre ordered to make it easier on the restaurant but they still got orders wrong and didn't correct them as well as made us wait a really long time. The food itself was good I thought mine was delicious. We then ordered desert and they said they had run out of one of their two options the day before and didn't prepare any for today so we only that the pzookie option which was fine since those are really good but as a restaurant you should be better prepared if you do have such limited options. We kept ordering drinks but ended up just giving up on the drink orders since it took so much to try and find staff to order and then most the time we didn't even get our drinks given to us. Overall the taste is great of this restaurant but the staff is so bad that I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. The last problem is we had a problem with our bill and the server told us he couldn't do anything about it because the manager (Hayden) went home for the day but assured us the manager would help us and to contact him the following week, we contacted him and the manager was not very helpful on the phone and then proceeded to tell me he'd get back to me and it's now been 2 weeks and I haven't heard from him to correct the error on the receipt. Overall super disappointed and wouldn't recommend this place whatsoever due to their staff being disorganized and not great. Our entire party was super disappointed and won't be recommending this place to the families from out of town we help in the area. read more

Recently, we came here to celebrate a birthday and were unfortunately over charged $80 for our food, with several items we didn't get! We tried to call multiple times to get our refund, and were met with voicemail every time and never were called back after leaving messages. While we enjoyed our dinner and are long standing fans of this restaurant, we were bummed and disappointed that we were not able to get in contact with the restaurant when we needed to and have yet to get our money back. :( read more

The worst chicken breast I've ever had, Bone Dry. Service was super flaky, our entrees arrived 20 min apart. Drinks were mid, not bad, but expensive. Would not recommend. read more

This place was a hit or miss for us... Let me set the scene: 8:00 pm, party of 3, semi hungry. We ordered off the appetizers menu for a more "tapas style" dinner. They brought & charged us for more than we ordered. It would've been okay if the plate was tasty... but the tinned fish was DEFINITELY a miss, for $20 it was bland and just pulled out of a box. (It literally was). Another miss for us was the $25 large charcuterie board! It was a small selection of two thin slices of cheese and store bought crackers... the presentation was okay but had more "fillers" than cheese, meat and cracker... it would have also been nice to have a condiment with it. Now let's talk about the hits! The charred cabbage is TO DIE FOR. Absolutely delish and is a must order. This was recommended by a friend and it lived up to the hype. It had a wonderful sauce on top and bottom, they paired perfectly with the cabbage! The shishito peppers were tasty and acidic! They were nicely charred but could use a lil dip or aioli (I'm a sauce girl) The potatoes were nicely seasoned and had bits of Parmesan grated over it. They were perfectly crispy! The green beans were good but nothing to write home about! The focaccia was mmhm mmhm mmhm! They were nice and pillowy. It came out warm which was extra nice! The restaurant itself is petite but very cute for a nice girls night or date night!! Our waitress was prompt but a little bit... new? She was super nice but neglected to inform us of the tinned fish dish, maybe it was a special she forgot about! 8/10 for her service :) read more

YUM. Nona is a must-try when in Salt Lake City. Just across the street from Loki Coffee, Nona is in a garage just behind a brown brick house. They have heaters going to keep you warm and the space is very inviting. Our server was very warm and welcoming and got us started with drinks and menus right away. I chose the breakfast sandwich and it was delicious! I've tried many breakfast sandwiches and I liked that Nona's added a unique twist to theirs with the prosciutto. Prices are very fair. I overall had a lovely experience. I can't wait to visit when patio season is back and experience Nona outside! read more

Our experience was really mixed last night. The patio is great and the ambiance fantastic. But there were a lot of misses. We had a reservation but our table wasn't prepared. There was water in a large container but no glasses. It took a long time for our server to greet us and she was really strange. She took our drink and small plate order (we wanted a cheese plate) but never brought us water glasses. Another server checked on us after a while and I had to ask him for glasses which he brought quickly. Our drinks came out and were so good. Our server eventually came back with plates for our cheese plate. A long while later she came back for our main order and she assured us our cheese plate would be out soon. She disappeared again and all of the sudden our entrees arrived. No cheese plate was ever seen that night. She then went and made drinks while we ate our meal and we waited and waited. Finally we had to waive another server down for our check. She eventually emerged for another table. This entire meal took over an hour which is ridiculous when you consider we only ever had an entree served for a table of two. It was probably the least organized service I've ever seen in recent memory. Food was okay, but I'm unlikely to return to Nona Bistro again. read more

Not sure why they take reservations when they can't fit you comfortably. I made a reservation for 5. We got sat on two tiny tables, they looked like side tables. We didn't fit. We asked (3) times to get moved and were dismissed each time. Really disappointed by this place, not coming back. The food wasn't impressive either for the price, most of the grapes on our salumi & cheese plates were bad. read more

Sooo we made a reservation here. If you no-show they charge you $25/person. We reserved in the garage but I don't think that matters cause we sat on the patio. We never had our sodas refilled. Maybe they only do one time fill? We didn't have the energy to ask. I like that the menu is small other than they were out of some of the items. They ran out of meat lasagna and salmon. That really limited your choices. Everyone was really nice and the atmosphere is special! read more

Unfortunately, I was not impressed with this establishment. We selected Nona Bistro as the place to celebrate our 31st wedding anniversary. Upon arrival and a short wait, we were seated on the patio (we had booked a reservation for the patio). It was short lived, as there were ants all over the ground under the table, crawling on my wife's feet and ankles. We were relocated to a table inside the open air "garage"/ bar area. We ordered the Chicken Piccata and the Brick Oven Lasagna. Our meals arrived quickly. The Piccata breading was burnt, which ruined the flavor of this dish. The lasagna was completely underwhelming. It was mostly melted ricotta cheese, that was soup like consistency. At the very least we got a good laugh out of this dish. Service was okay, but rushed and very minimal contact. For the $85 we spent on drinks and dinner, I would have expected a better experience. We enjoyed each other's company, which is what mattered most. Disappointing, no less as we were hoping for a great experience on our special day. Obviously, this review is reflective of our own experience and opinion. I don't like to leave reviews like this, but I believe in honesty and transparency. It's highly unlikely we will ever return. Hopefully, your visit is better. read more

This place is a hidden gem in the up and coming 9th south corridor that connects 9th east to state st. Nona's sits off the street in a converted garage in the back of a brick bungalow. It's charming, has a fun garden vibe meets modern bar. Service is attentive but not annoying. Great recommendations and guidance on the menu. The food was fantastic. All of it! We had the focaccia bread, charred cabbage, kale caesar salad with chicken, lasagna, rib eye steak with chimichurri with smashed potatoes. I would come back for all of it. The rib eye steak and potatoes were so good. Kale salad I could every day. Charred cabbage was so delightful - you must order it. Focaccia tasted like it came out of a wood roasted pizza oven- delicious! Lasagna was good but honestly not my favorite. It was their spin on the classic and a bit soupy the night we had it. Chocolate chip cookie skillet was okay for a couple of bites of something sweet but I wouldn't order it again. Can't wait to come back again, especially for bunch! read more

I felt like I was let in on a little secret spot coming here! This is the cutest little spot. The entrance is tucked away behind the main house on 900 S, and you walk back to the backyard/patio area to the large structure behind the house. The interior is so quaint and cozy, I think we counted between 12-14 tables in the whole space, and the majority of those were two top tables. We were SO lucky that a table opened up right after we walked in because the place was packed on a Wednesday night! This is a tapas style place, mostly known for their light bites and small plates and shareables. They have a larger menu of small plates (maybe 10 items?) and then two salad options and three larger plates that are meat based. We decided to share a salad and three of the small plates and had plenty of food. The cauliflower and potato au gratin completely stole the show. I'll be dreaming about it for days. It was SO delicious, creamy, cheesy, and loaded with flavor. The focaccia bread was our second favorite, it was so fresh, perfectly doughy and amazing. There was some sea salt on top and it came with a delicious dip as well but I can't remember what was in it. I believe it was tomato based? The cabbage was amazing, it's served on top of this yogurt cream sauce - who knew cabbage could taste so good?! The kale Caesar salad was delightful. Fresh baby kale, tomatoes, parm, and topped with delicious house made croutons. Everything was so wonderful and delicious! The service was on the slower side because the place was packed, but we weren't in a rush and were totally fine with that. I believe there were only three people total in the entire space bussing, bartending, and serving, so props to them for keeping up with everything. I can't wait to come back in the warmer months and check out their amazing patio space. They did have a fire and some outdoor heaters, but no one was sitting outside last night, I think even with the heaters it would be a little chilly outside. read more

We had a 5:45 reservation at Nona Bistro and specifically requested to be seated in the garage due to a recent facial biopsy and a need to avoid direct sun exposure. Instead, we were seated on the patio, which was acceptable only because our table was shaded by an umbrella. Midway through our meal, a busboy came over, and without saying a word, started moving our umbrella. It became clear he was doing this to shade a family who had just been seated next to us. When I calmly mentioned, "You're taking our shade," he replied, "There's nothing I can do." I asked him, again politely, to move the umbrella back, which he did. It wasn't a matter of sharing the shade, I would have been thrilled if we could have made that work with both tables; it was one or the other, and we had been there at least 30 minutes before the new party arrived. Ten minutes after we paid, the same busboy came back to let us know there were people waiting for our table and asked us to leave. While I understand the need to turn tables, it felt a bit pointed, especially considering there were other diners around us who had been lingering over cocktails and were not asked to move. The food was lovely and the ambiance usually hits the mark, but the experience left a sour taste. I had really looked forward to bringing friends here, but the service left us feeling rushed and undervalued. Disappointing. read more

After biking by a couple of times, intrigue got the best of me and I finally tried Nona Bistro! It is a truly charming atmosphere, as though you are dining in the backyard of your friend who reads Architectural Digest religiously. The service was friendly, the menu had decent diversity.

Was a good dinner with a friend. I think this would be great for company lunches, but they are not open at that time. I really like the seating options whether it's indoor or outdoor. I like how you can tell that this was a house that they chose not to demolish, and it makes me feel good that the city is doing that. I think the value is a little expensive. Seeing as the serving size for a chicken piccata was not big and you're paying mostly for the salad that's going underneath which is just arugula, but the service is the entire reason I would come back our server was incredible, and honestly made the experience worthwhile. read more

Food - absolutely amazing. Options for appetizers, small plates, and big plates. We got the charcuterie board and the cheese was absolutely fantastic. Our big plates were the chicken piccata and the ribeye, honestly could not tell you which one we loved more! The chicken piccata was perfectly breaded with the best garnish of herbs and capers. Ribeye was cooked to perfection and whatever oil they lined the plate with was heavenly. The chimichurri was amazing as well. Service - very quick! The charcuterie board was served about 4 minutes after ordering and our mains came out about 10 minutes later. Ambiance - you won't find better. It's dreamy. Romantic. Private. Literally feels like an Italian garden (although I've never been in one). It can be very warm during the summer but if you reserve early enough you can get covered seating! read more

Feels like a secret Hideaway, We loved the food and intimate ambiance. It's a modern rustic decor. Perfect for a romantic date night . It is located behind a house on 900s . It's definitely a hidden gem They have a unique menu that changes periodically I believe. They have many small plates and shareables . We started with a few appetizers. The shishito , sweet potato , and cabbage . They were all excellent. We had the Ribeye with chimichurri on top & Organic chicken shawarma plate . The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. That homemade skillet chocolate chip cookie for dessert is a must try . We loved it . We enjoyed some wine by the fire after dinner . It was lovely. I can't wait to come back when it warms up a little bit. read more
