Yesterday, I had the absolute pleasure of treating my son, mother, and myself to one of the best Valentine's Day dinners I have had. I have to share our experience from the beginning. So we drove a good 30mins to get here, with anticipation from seeing this restaurant on a travel channel, but the original location is in NY. We get there, and its plenty of free parking. We ask for seating for 3 and we are told they are only seating individuals who booked a reservation. Totally understandable considering its Valentine's day. I dropped the ball folks. I didn't make a reservation. So I noticed a bar lounge which we were told we could wait for a seat to open up. As we were waiting a coupled jumped in front us and took a seat. The manager Claudia came to the rescue like the dark knight but with more grace. She mentioned she was willing to put us on the list for a table in the main dining area. I accepted her kind gesture and continued to wait for bar lounge seating to open up. A couple was kind enough to come over to us and ask if we were waiting for bar lounge seating. They offered their table to us as they were ending their night. There was a 2 man band playing in the lounge area that was very soothing to the ear. As I tried to help my mother get comfortable at the hightop table, I noticed she was having a difficult time getting seated in such a high chair. Guess who came to the rescue, you guessed, Claudia! She's the best, 100 grand, made me a real fan. So she came over and said our table was ready if we wanted a booth seating and we all know that's the best seats in the house. All I could think is look at God. The wait wasn't even long either. 10 out of 10 for saving the day. In addition our waitress was such a sweetheart. I mentioned a white malbec I saw on the menu that I was astonish to see b/c I never knew of such a thing. She bought me a small glass to taste and my God, I am a true believer Jesus turned water into wine. Its so clear like water but the taste is amazing. The food is so delicious. The restaurant is very clean. The staff is very personalable. Everyone cartered to us. You would have thought we were the Obamas or something. As we were stuffing our faces, Claudia comes around handing out roses to the men/boys to give to their dates. Complimenting my son and his daper outfit she hands him a rose and tells him to give it your mommy. At the moment he lights up with a big smile as if he paid for the rose himself. I can tell he felt like a gentleman and good that he could give his mother a red rose on Valentine's day. That small gesture was very thoughtful and appreciated. I apologize for my essay, but they desired it. I love the service, the ambiance, the food, and service. I haven't seen my mother smile so much in a while. So it bought me great joy to give my mother this experience on Valentine's day. I thank Nonna Angela's staff for such a wonderful experience. read more

This was our first time coming here. Out on a whim, I really was craving Italian and there wasn't many locations within the area. A charming restaurant that's bustling with families, couples and friends looking to catch up. Super friendly staff that were accommodating (I didn't want any mozzarella on my chicken parm and mom wanted little bit of cheese on her shrimp parm). Food was absolutely delicious and I loved the tomato sauce. read more

The whole experience was amazing. Giselle was my waitress and she was fantastic. Nice, Sweet, Professional and Attentive. She made excellent suggestions for my first visit here. It most definitely won't be my last visit. The decor was so welcoming. As if you were eating in an Italian restaurant in Tuscany or your favorite Nonna's kitchen. The food and drinks were fantastic. From the hot fresh bread with fresh garlic, vinegar and oil, to the perfectly cooked pasta, to the sweet cannolis. Magnificent. read more

The service was very good. The restaurant was clean. The food was meh. We ordered the godfather pizza and we are pretty sure that it was the frozen brand DiGiorno. There was no tasty authentic Italian crust. It was just a flat, tasteless crust with equally bland meat and vegetables and extra cheese. I don't think we'll be visiting Nonna Angela's again anytime soon. read more

We really enjoyed ourselves at this restaurant! The food as amazing and the sauce was homemade. The Mozzarella Fritta's were very yummy. We got the Stuffed Shells, with the vodka sauce. Our waiter recommended the vodka sauce and it did not disappoint- so good! Also, got the 7 Fish Linguine dish. Then finished with the tasty Salted Caramel layered cake special- top tier! My only negative comment is that the floor seemed to have a lot of food on it. Other than that, the service was great. read more

Nonna's staff was super pleasant! They were very attentive and our server even gave us some recommendations. We started off with the crab toast and calamari. The calamari was a classic, but the crab toast was just okay. The food portions were very large! The chicken Parmesan was just a bit dry, but the sauce was great. My husband loved his dish, especially the crispy potatoes. read more

My first time here, and DANG what a treat! The pasta is amazing...and cooked Al Dente just as we'd hoped! (No over-cooked pasta for this girl!) Basic spaghetti with tomato sauce and basil is unusually delicious - and the warm rolls with olive oil/garlic are on-point. The side salad is generous and perfect. Our server Kim is friendly, attentive and oh so efficient... I can't wait to go back! :) read more

So we stopped in on visiting our son and we got the cheese sticks, Caesar salads, seafood fettuccine, chicken in volka and salmon fettuccine. Sorry don't remember all the names the food was excellent and service was great. Camilo was the best at recommendations and the service he provided. Stop in and try this place read more

I had heard great reviews about this place so I couldn't wait to try it out. It was my cousin's birthday and she had also been wanting to try it out. I will be back. We had a party of 8 and they were able to accommodate us on a Sunday evening for dinner. For appetizers, we had the crab bruschetta and calamari. The calamari was fried perfectly. I loved it. Then for my meal, I had the crab risotto. Chef's kiss! Although I do want to try the lobster ravioli and seafood lasagna. Our server, Felipe was amazing and extremely patient. Then for dessert, I had the cannoli that was good as well. Nothing, I had was bad and thus I will be back, although it was an hour drive. I definitely felt like it was well worth it. read more

A short drive off of Rt.450 from Rt.3 sits Nonna Angela's Italian Restaurant. My wife and I saw a billboard display for this gem of a restaurant while attending a Chesapeake Baysox baseball game and after checking out their online menu, we opted to make it our dinner destination to celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary and we were not disappointed! Our friendly server Adrien P. started us off with a basket of bread rolls to dip in a shallow dish of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) mixed with Balsamic Vinegar and Garlic Cloves along with drinks, a glass of Prosecco for my wife and a glass of Merlot for me, while we contemplated our appetizers, and after mentioning the specials for the day, we decided to try one of those: Fried Green Tomatoes, along with a listed Antipasti option: Mozzarella Caprese. Our server Adrien P. fell into a pattern of responding with "Awesome!!!" as we told her what we wanted. She wasn't wrong, both dishes were presented well on the plate, and delicious. For the entree round, my wife selected the Pollo Limone (chicken with Angel Hair pasta) and I ordered the Trio Italiano (a combination of Lasagna, Stuffed Shell, and Eggplant Parmigiana). I continued with the flow of Merlot wine while my wife switched up to Chardonnay wine. The entrees were equally delicious. The service was swift and while crowded, the decor of various art works and pots and pans and rollers mounted on the walls, along with low operatic music really lent to a very charming dinner experience. We finished off our meals with two Tiramisu Martinis and a shared Cannoli - both of which were, to borrow Adrien' catch phrase: Awesome. We boxed up for the road what we couldn't comfortably eat, and left a well-earned generous tip, and my wife and I both agree: this may have been our first time dining at Nonna Angela's, but it won't be our last. read more

Hats off once again dear Yelp community for this wonderful Italian restaurant. We were in town for a festival a couple of months ago. Afterwards we were tired and also hungry for a good non-fast food meal. We consulted the handy dandy Yelp app, which pointed us to Nonna Angela's. The restaurant is located in a nondescript strip mall and it's easy to get to from the major roads. Plenty of free parking in the private lot out front. When we got there we were a wee bit nervous because their sign wasn't yet lit up for the evening. Fortunately, they were open. We were seated promptly in a very nice large booth - you need this for the plates! We were greeted at our table promptly and our drink order taken along with appetizers. We got the crispy Brussels Sprouts and the mozzarella 'planks'. The Brussels Sprouts were yummy, and the mozzarella sticks nice and chewy. On to our entrees. On the recommendation of the server I chose the lasagna and I am so glad I did - the pasta was thin and delicate, gravy nicely balanced and blended well with cheeses and meats. It was, in a word, divine. My sister got the gnocchi, which were quite yummy. No dessert, we were completely stuffed when we were done with our meals. The atmosphere is casual-chic and relaxed. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area! Highly recommend. read more

We had an amazing experience at Nonna Angela's tonight. Just so happen to come on a Wednesday with live music which was a bonus as well. We had the antipasto Di casa and crab bruschetta to start which was amazing. I had the salmon entree with angel air pasta. My son had the carbonara and added chicken read more

The food series and ambiance is top notch. I've decided just to go down the menu and order something different. Every time I come because the food is so good. I look forward to each new selection. read more

I had a great time here the food was absolutely delicious and came out very promptly. The location has a welcoming and homey atmosphere. My server was very sweet and helpful, everyone seemed to work as a team. Would love to come back for a drink at the bar! Bathrooms are small but kept tidy! The creamy crab bruschetta was a great start, along with a must have a side salad. When I'm having Italian cuisines a salad is a must have. As my main dish I had a creamy tomato based pasta with a crispy crusted chicken cutlet. I approve and suggest you come try it out read more

My parents and I ate here for the first time. What a TREMENDOUS experience! My father had the trio Italiano, my mother had the eggplant parmesan and I had the shrimp scampi which was out of this world. The food was fresh and cooked perfectly. The place was very clean and all the employees were all dressed nice and very professional. Adrian was our waitress and she was phenomenal. She filled our drinks on time and periodically checked on us. If I could give her service 10 stars I definitely would. I have eaten at many Italian restaurants but, Nonna Angela's is my new favorite place to go. Come here and ask for Adrian. SHE IS THE BEST!!! read more

Nona Angela's food was fine, but their staff needs to get their stories straight. We called ahead to make a reservation for 5 and requested a round table. We were assured we would have it. But when our group arrived, we were denied the round table because we didn't have 6. The booth we were then led to was a disappointment after our original promise. Its arrangement along with the too-loud music made conversation difficult. Our group of 5 will look elsewhere for our next get-together. read more

Had the chicken parm dinner. It was decent. The dinner had two chicken breast coated in parm and angel hair pasta. The sauce was okay. Also came with 2 dinner rolls that seemed store bought and basic- no butter, not toasted, just wrapped in foil. Not photo worthy. read more

Great food, drinks and service every time I visit. Their seafood dishes are amazing!

We stopped in here after a soccer game in Bowie. Found this restaurant on Yelp. Initially we were told we would have a 45 minute wait because the place was packed. However, we were seated quickly by the manager in a first-come-first-serve booth in the bar. Perk of this was discounted crushes to drink and half price appetizers. We started our meal with the polpette casserole and mozzarella caprese appetizers. My boyfriend had the Italian wedding soup which he sails was delicious. His son ordered pollo parmigiana which came with 2 huge pieces of chicken. I ordered a margarita pizza that came with spinach, mushrooms, broccoli, and onions on top. The adults ordered orange crushes to drink. Everything was spectacular. As a side note our waitress was efficient, funny, and helpful in choosing our items. There was live jazz music in the bar. We enjoyed our meal tremendously and will certainly put this place on our list to return to if we are ever in this area again! read more

This place fully exceeded our expectations. We'd heard of it from friends but hadn't ventured over yet, so it seemed perfect for a celebratory dinner. To start off we had a round of cocktails and were all happy with our beverages. We loved everything we tried from drinks to dessert - everything was 5/5 stars. The service was great & the staff was very accommodating when our group ended up being smaller than originally planned. Once inside and seated, you'd never know you were in a strip mall. read more

Good Italian food. It's always hard to choose what to eat because everything I've tried is delicious. My favorite is the shrimp Parmesan... so good! I usually ask for it with the pink sauce. Last time we were there we discovered the churros. Yes, churros in an Italian restaurant. They are fantastic! A must. Service is always friendly and ambiance truly Italian restaurant style. read more

I was craving Chicken Parmigiana so I decided to stop by Nonna's since they have the claim for best Italian in the Crofton area. They did not disappoint. The two gentlemen bartenders were an amazing team. I arrived right before happy hour ended. I got the Crab Bruschetta app since appetizers are half off. It took 20-25 mins to get it, not sure what happened to my order. It arrived after my pollo parmigiana. I did not make a fuss over it, I just kept it and ate it. The bread was kind of hard & burnt. It didn't satisfy the craving I thought I had for it so I will pass next time. To drink, I started with a limoncello martini which was very tasty & had a glass of Riesling with my Dinner. The Pollo Parmigiana was so good. I wish I was able to order it with the angel hair pasta & veggies since they allow you to do potatoes & veggies if you choose not to order the pasta. Nonetheless, I ordered a side of mixed veggies. The pollo parmigiana paired with the veggies was a match made it heaven. The portion size was great for the price! I really enjoyed it. I could not leave without getting a Cannoli. Nonna's hands down has the best cannoli I ever had. Definitely stayed on my mind once I left. Thank you Nonna's for satisfying my chix parm & cannoli craving. read more

This is a place I've wanted to try for a while and I was finally able to. Nonna Angela's did not disappoint! Nonna Angela's is a very nicely designed restaurant with nods to Italy. The decor is above the standard Italian restaurant. We sat at one of the booths in the bar area. Our waiter was AMAZING! He was friendly and personable. One of our appetizers came out late so in ensured we got the happy hour price for it. We ordered the Mozzarella Fritta, Insalata di Cesare, Gamberi Gondola, Cream of Crab soup, for our appetizers. We shared the stuffed shells. The food was amazing we enjoyed EVERYTHING! For our drinks we ordered the limoncello martini and a glass rosé. Both were delicious. Nonna Angela's is a wonderful restaurant to grab a decent happy hour or a nice meal. We will be back for happy hour to try new bites. read more

Superb! Shout out to Richie the cutie behind the bar. He was hospitable and pleasant despite a very busy evening. The crab bruschetta was delicious. Plated perfectly to the point of enticing my bar seat neighbors to order. Later on in the evening we enjoyed family dinner in the dining area. They were able to accommodate our large family with ease and efficiency. Thanks so much Aidan for taking great care of us. Generous portions and fresh tasty food. I will be back. read more

Nonna's is a solid spot that I've visited several times with friends and colleagues after business events, and it never disappoints. The servers are always nice and pleasant, making for a welcoming atmosphere. Although it is a popular place (especially on Saturday nights), so we usually make a reservation for our large group, about 20 people, well in advance. They seat us comfortably in the back corner at two tables, which works out great. While the atmosphere can get a bit loud due to the crowd, it's not overwhelming like a sports bar, making it still enjoyable. The food is solid Italian fare. I've stuck to safe choices like the Spaghetti and Meatballs and Salsiccia Rustica, which have been great for my picky palate. They also serve ginger beer, but you must ask for it since it's not on the standard menu. The bathrooms are clean but small, so just keep that in mind if you're a large person. Located in a strip mall, there's ample parking and other businesses nearby. I always enjoy the area, which is conducive to a peaceful post-dinner chat outside. read more

Stumbled onto this place on accident after a long drive and SO GLAD I did!!! Food and service were top notch, Nonna really outdid herself with the eggplant parm and lasagna. And take the servers' advice- the desserts (tiramisu and gelato) were amazing! Will be back soon read more

Expectations : Not from this area and we were looking specifically for eggplant Parmesan redemption (we had some a few weeks ago and it was horribly frozen and over fried). The star of the show did not disappoint a- the Eggplants Parmesan was fresh and a solid dish. The marinara is very simple - not heavily seasoned. The shrimp on the bruschetta was unnecessary - you had to basically eat the shrimp separately bc they are served whole on top. Shrimp was a little overcooked too. Overall, better ambience and Italian than we might get at a chain Italian joint. read more

Having a meal at Nonna Angela's is always a treat! We visited from California and my wife's parents took us there. Every dish was so tasty. The service was excellent, including the manager Felipe coming to make sure we enjoyed everything and even helped with our orders. I must give kudos to the chef and cooks. What a great menu of choices. Honestly, I've traveled and consider myself a "foodie" so you can believe me when say that the short rib ravioli with four kinds of mushrooms was A+mazing! read more

You wouldn't expect an Italian restaurant in a strip mall to be as good as this one was, but you would've been pleasantly surprised! The fettuccine Bolognese was divine and reminded me of my trip to Italy. The lasagna was great, the trio of eggplant, Parmesan, stuffed shell, and lasagna was devine. I see why several patrons were ordering the Gamberi gondola (roasted garlic Parmesan cream sauce on chargrilled Italian bread with a fat shrimp on top of each one). I'm coming back just for that! Juan provided excellent service. The ambience of the restaurant is what you'd expect of a cozy restaurant in Florence. Loved it! read more

My family and I were visiting from California. We arrived approximately 8:37pm, was seated right away. Ordered food and received our drinks. We were with a friend chatting it up, when we realized it was 10pm and we did get our food, nor the server come to the table since our drinks. My husband look for a manager, he came. But, the server came back and admitted to doing other things and forgot. He tried to take our order, because he didn't remember taking it. The manager lied and blamed it on the kitchen, instead of being forthcoming. The manager tried to make it up, by give an appetizer we never order and desserts, when he could have given it complementary or took half of the bill. He brought the bill, never even took a drink off, these were not alcoholic drinks. The server felt so bad, he wanted to pay the bill. I didn't want him to do that because his boss had the authority to make it right. This was a lesson for the server, always come back and check on your customer. I have never experienced all the way around this type and service. The manager assumes free desserts and an appetizer was going do the trick. Next ask the customer "How can we make it right." That's true customer service, not what you think it make it right. A $202 bill was nothing for you, when it comes to your establishment repetition. Do better with your future customers, we will never return, even after 10pm receiving our food. read more

Filipe was an AMAZING server! He was very knowledgeable on the history of the restaurant. He brought out bread for us the many times we asked! He gave us time to think of what we wanted, too. The food was delicious and fresh. I don't typically like mushrooms, but I got the short rib ravioli and it was great! I love how they keep salt and pepper at the table for taste. The ambiance was great, awesome for pictures. Welcoming from the jump, and I'd certainly come back for more! read more

Food here was not bad at all. Ordered a few dishes- blue crab ravioli, seafood lasagna, fettuccine zafferano, and kids spaghetti and meatball. The seafood lasagna was by far the winner. Crab ravioli was good and had decent portions of crab. The fettuccine zafferano was delicious but the seafood was very minimal. I barely got any crab and only got a few shrimp and scallops. I was hoping for a better balance of pasta and seafood- it was very heavy on the pasta side and light on seafood. This didn't seem to be the case with the seafood lasagna at all. The lasagna was a pretty hefty serving with a good amount of seafood. Ambiance is your typically family style Italian restaurant. Service was good. read more
