    We came here for a family dinner and were quickly seated upon arrival. We started off with a Cherry Cosmo AND a Spicy Pear margarita! (Cherry Vodka. Lime Juice. Orange liquor & Cran) (Casamigas Jalapeño Tequila, Pear, lime, agave nectar, bitters. Tajin rim) The warm fresh baked bread was very delicious and paired nice with a cup of chicken orzo soup on a cold day. We all opted in for a type of fettuccine Alfredo, which were all very delicious! Both the crispy, baked chicken and a broccoli and chicken pasta was very good. The portion sizes were HUGE, enough for 2 meals with the soup and bread to go along!

    Had the homemade gnocchi with meat sauce and my wife had the chicken cacciatore both were excellent, their bread is outstanding. Also had pasta fagioli with my meal. Highly recommend this place always a good meal.

    Nonna Lucia's Restaurant in Watertown has a cozy, compact bar area with a more open dining room space and much natural light. My martini was mixed in a personal-sized shaker and poured on the table side. There was a generous pour, and I particularly appreciated that the bartender left the shaker with me so I could top off my martini and enjoy the remaining dirty rocks. The room-temperature glass was not chilled but beautifully etched with designs and had an ornate stem. The olives served with the drink were bruised and not good, but the skewer was perfectly sized, and I appreciated the decorative pearl. When thinking about the food, the calamari appetizer was satisfactory. Its breading didn't contain much flavor; it was also greasy and a bit soggy. They did have a delicious marinara sauce that was simple, light, and fresh. Their homemade pasta, on the other hand, was just all right because of its bland flavor and texture. Also, my bowl of pasta contained a ton of water, oil, and garlic, so much so that it felt like I was eating soup. The staff was friendly and accommodating to my requests, and it was nice to see many locals popping in to pick up orders for Italian cookies and fresh sauce for the week.

    Cobb salad (without egg)

    The salad was absolutely delicious! I had the Cobb salad, good portion, awesome flavor, homemade blue cheese dressing. I also love their meatball and sausage! I believe the meatballs are veal beef and pork which I prefer, sausage is spicy, yum! I also enjoyed the fried mozzarella, I liked that it it was a thin layer of breadcrumbs. I used to eat there regularly when I lived in Watertown decades ago, food is as good as I remember. I forgot to order soup but I remember they used to make the best homemade chicken soup! Definitely will get it next time.

    Gluten free penne al la vodka with chicken

    This is a little Italian restaurant that's family owned and has a home like feel. It's a small restaurant so reservations are smart for sure! Everything here is basically homemade and that's the win for me! You can truly taste it in the dish. The dishes are on the bigger size and the cocktails are just strong enough! The waitresses always know their stuff especially ours named, Stefanie. She helped with recommendations and was so polite! I was in heaven with my vodka sauce and was so excited that a little place like this is gluten free accommodating! My friend enjoyed her spicy Italian wrap and told me to tell of you that she finished her plate with no problem lol! There are limited hours but pay them a visit you will love them!

    Well stocked bar

    I went here for a party, and it comfortably held our group of eight. Our waitress was very patient…read moreand accommodating, and they had facilities of two per gender to be used. Everything was very clean. Parking was a bit of a struggle - there was street parking above, below, and across, and a huge lot in the back. Supposedly there's a backdoor from the lower lot - those who tried found it to be locked. The food was delicious - my local burger was cooked medium, and the fries were little circles! They were well cooked but some had much more salt then others

    We were looking for a new place to try and came across here. Service was on point, bartender very…read morefriendly, got our drinks quickly and they were tasty. The menu looked pretty good so we started with some apps. Beer cheese- definitely a different twist than I expected but it was great. Very flavorful, really beer forward. The bruschetta was ridiculously amazing!! The cucumber salsa was missing something but ok, needed some acid or heat. My disappointment started when they brought out our meal, (we still had two apps to go, I hate my meal coming out with or before the rest of our apps. I had the hot honey chicken and NE Clam chowder. The chowder was brown and was not what I was looking for, I packaged up to go. It was primarily the brown I assume the roux went farther than it should have or there is something else in it.. The hot honey chicken was ok, the chicken was paper thin , tasted mostly arugula no heat, no sweet... I'd switch out the bread for a roll next time and douse it with hot sauce. The cottage fries are out of this world and I would come back for beverages and those!! My partner had the biria sandwich which was fire, also had a salad which was really good as well. The cookies are really amazing! Actual Dessert- I am struggling with we opted for the Chocolate cake which was literally melting- did not think it was ice cream so not sure why we had a puddle in a box when we got home. I want to try other things, as we had some good and some not so good, so we'll be back and update again after another try.
