After years of trying to get in here we finally did! The ambiance is quaint and cute, and feels authentic. Service was quick and friendly. The bread was a little dry but the oil and vinegar fixed it! I would say if you're a vampire the garlic might get you, we loved it! Cheers! read more

We visited Nonni's last week for dinner and had an enjoyable experience. It's been a couple years since we were last here, so we went in with little in the way of expectations. We were seated and served right away, which is always nice. Our server was very pleasant and took good care of us throughout our visit. The food was good, but didn't impress me as much as it did on our last visit. I had carbonara, which is always my go-to baseline meal, and it wasn't bad, tasted ok, but didn't blow me away at all. My wife did enjoy her dish, however, and our drinks were very tasty too. It might have just been me, so I'm not going to say don't go here, you absolutely should, because this is probably the most authentic Italian you're going to get in this area and it's worth a visit! read more

We came here for my boyfriend's 50th birthday, on recommendation from a friend whose beach house we were staying at. She suggested the beef medallions with mushrooms, so we got that, as well as the house lasagna. Both were absolutely delicious! Lasagna is his all time favorite - and what his mother would have made him if we had been able to make it back East for his birthday, (but we got stormed out). I was thrilled that he thought this was just as good. I don't do mushrooms but can maneuver my way around them (which means picking them out at putting them on my boyfriends plate). The restaurant is charming and intimate and decor very much takes you from Seaside, OR to any small town in Italy (or Little Italy in NYC). Maria was our server (according to the receipt) and she was awesome! She was personable, and spent time visiting with us and telling us the history of the restaurant. She also helped me be sneaky and hid the little birthday cake I snuck in my bag and hid it in back, then had brought it out later; adding a bunch of ice cream to it - and got the other restaurant guests to suing Happy Birthday to him. My boyfriend is fairly private so this intimate setting and delicious food, was exactly what he wanted and a wonderful surprise for him. read more

We had dinner at Nonnis last night. We love authentic Italian when we can find it. Nonnis Italian Bistro is probably one of the best Italian restaurants we have been too. The restaurant is a cute spacious location right in the heart of Seaside OR. The place was packed and I completely understand why. The food is amazing! We were greeted right away. Had a short wait so we sat near the bar in a comfy lounge. Once seated we were given fresh bread to snack on. Our waitress came and greeted us right away. Food came out hot within 15 min. We were absolutely pleased with the entire experience. I highly recommend stopping in at Nonnis. It's authentic dishes, made with fresh homemade ingredients. It's the fine dining we were hoping for on our date night. Make sure to stop in 30 min or so before you plan to eat to place your name on the waitlist. It's a busy restaurant and sooo worth the wait! read more

This is a popular Italian restaurant in Seaside, and fills up quickly, even in the off season. Chef's special risotto: 3.5/5 I guess I don't understand what is so special about risotto--just seems like creamyish rice in sauce, but it's not very easy to make? The salmon served on top was perfectly cooked. Veggies were ok--squash was a bit watery, some green beans a little stringy, broccoli overcooked or from frozen. Cannelloni: 3/5 I was expecting a meat-filled tube of pasta, but they describe it as a crepe, which is more accurate because the "wrap" is quite thin. The meat filling was suaceless ground meat vs. formed like a meatball. Services was friendly, although we were not offered amaretto/sambuca at the end of our meal. read more

If you want an authentic Italian dinner, you gotta stop by Nonni's. This place was packed on a Saturday, but didn't compromise on the service. Everyone was so nice and our server made sure to check on us. We sat at the bar so we got seated pretty quickly. It has a cute little homey feel. They have a little fireplace you can wait by. I got the clams for an appetizer and the chicken piccata. The chicken piccata came with a little side of Alfredo and some steam veggies. It was so good! The chicken piccata paired well with the Alfredo. The chicken was light and had a good hint of lemon. The Alfredo wasn't too rich but had a good texture. The clams was pretty good. It was a little on the acidic side. With the clams little lemony and the chicken piccata lemony, I think I would pass on the clams the next time around. read more

We went to celebrate Father's Day. We enjoyed a seafood pasta it was perfectly delicious shrimp was cooked to perfection, the clappino was very testy crab was so fresh shrimp was nice and crunchy and the chicken picatta was so amazing the vegetables were so fresh and delicious for dessert we had there tiramisu so delicious each layer is so good. Our waitress Maria is exceptional she just knows exactly what we want, she really helps to make us have an exceptional experience. read more

Well here is a story for you. Food was fast, fresh, terrific! Got the cannelloni. So good. It's a hard item to find and this was tremendous. But here comes the story. Some people need to be more self aware, I didn't say anything to wait staff either, but about 8-10 feet away, was a "gentleman" that provided a very loud obnoxious conversation with about 40+ F bombs as loud as possible. I heard his whole conversation, I really enjoyed the service and great food, but had a hard time trying to zone out this loud guy. Everyone else was polite and respectfully "table talk" loud. I was at least 8-10 feet away and I heard everything as loud as can be. So maybe he's reading this? Probably not, But check the room, become a bit self aware as I was glad I ate quickly to get out of your loudness. But wanted to enjoy my meal a bit more. Funny thing, a bit afterwards I saw the same guy walking out on Broadway still dropping f-bombs as loud as he could. Wild. Other than that, this place is amazing. Fresh, fast, kind. read more

From the moment I saw the name Nonni's Italian Bistro, I knew I had to go -- my grandbabies call me "Nonni," so it felt meant to be! On our last evening in Seaside, we stopped in for an early dinner and were so glad we did. We started with the wedge salad, which was good, though not quite my favorite. They also bring out bread with balsamic and olive oil for dipping. I'll admit I'm a little biased because my favorite local spot adds herbs, crushed red pepper flakes, and minced garlic to theirs -- and honestly, it's a total game changer! For the main course, we split the cannelloni, and it was delicious with plenty of food for two. And of course, we couldn't leave without trying the raspberry panna cotta... heavenly! I seriously wish more restaurants near me still served panna cotta because this one was such a treat. Would definitely return the next time I'm in Seaside! read more

We went here for a lovely farewell dinner and ordered the Seafood Fettuccine for $35 and the Seafood Ciconne $36 wine and a cocktail and took 3 separate desserts to go home. The seafood fettuccine was the best meal I have had in a long time and the fresh bread served was delicious. However, my daughter immediately got sick when we got home and we know it was from her food. I called the restaurant immediately and the response I got was to take down my name and number and the manager would call me back "if he has time" Spent a lot there and thought it was great . The waitress was absolutely lovely and attentive. But the response from the staff who answered the phone made me not want to return. read more

We made an effort to come to Nooni during our Portland trip, on this quest to find an authentic Italian restaurant and we found that and more. We got the seafood pasta with muscles to share. The seafood pasta came with a cream sauce and was loaded with seafood including shrimp, clams and salmon. The food was amazing and satisfied our Italian food cravings. We were traveling with a toddler and what made this place even more memorable was the kind staff. We had a squirmy toddler who doesn't like to sit for long periods of time so after sitting during the appetizers, by the time our food came out, she wanted to walk around. The staff came by and was so kind and understanding, a couple of them even crouched down to talk to her and give her 5 fives. By the time we left, they became best friends and my daughter was waving at her everytime she walked by. I felt like we were so well taken care of that we just left eating at our Italian Auntys restaurant. I can't wait to come back next time I'm in Portland. read more

I thought this place was pretty good, I ordered to go while here in business. Ordered the seafood pasta, Traditional Alfredo with 3 small clams, 3 shrimp and a piece of salmon. I would think a little more for the $30, but it was prepared well and very flavorful. Nice chunk of fresh bread with an oil and vinegar side and butter. Nice touch. Tiramisu was a bit granular in texture but not bad. I don't think I'd order it again. Appreciate that they packaged the hot and cold separately. Very friendly wait staff, nice looking restaurant. Would eat here again. Almost forgot the Italian cream soda, it was really good. read more

Our neighbors on the Long Beach peninsula loved this place and wanted to take us! We went there early on a Saturday to ensure we got a table for 4. We got there almost when the door opened and it was already busy. The ambiance and warmth of this place was very welcome. Menu was fair and pretty expansive. Did an appetizer- (both types of meatballs), along with house bread & oil. Had go get a lemon drop - one of the best I have had. Split the lasagna with my husband and it was a good choice because I got my dessert to go. The waitstaff was good but definitely could tell they were busy servicing all the tables. With all that seaside has to offer this place is a gem and should be checked out. I will be back to try more of the menu read more

Always a Seaside favorite. We've been coming here during our trips to the beach for years and all have our favorite dishes. While mine tends to be the Pesto Genovese with capers, I tried th chicken piccata this time and it was also delicious and well-balanced. As always, service is great, staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is comfortable. read more

After reading the reviews I was super excited to try this spot and thought the food would be amazing. Only ended up trying an appetizer because after we were served a flavorless meatball in boxed polenta (should be a crime), the desire to try more food was gone. Our server was so sweet. The other staff was weird. The two male food runners stood in a corner on their phones whispering to each other or talking loudly behind the bar with another server. The water brought to the table was horrid. They bring it in a glass bottle which is nice but it tasted like it was filled from a hose. Not likely to return. read more

Probably one of the better Italian restaurants you will find on the coast. We split the lasagna and the steamer comas. It came out to be $68.00 total. The service here is top notch. The food is amazing as well. I really liked one of their signature dishes the lasagna. It was so big we had to split it. The chef was gracious enough to split it out for us on two separate bowls for us. The clams were to die for and the pesto broth they serve the clams in is delicious. I cannot wait to come back. read more

I was ready to dive in without knowing the details of the special. The flavors in the risotto dish with the salmon and veggies were really good. We walked in at the perfect time, just before it got busy. We were seated right away. The only thing I would suggest as improvement is the shrimp scampi only came with 3 jumbo shrimp, it would have been better if the shrimp was a part of the dish instead of more of a garnish. Our waitress was really nice and attentive. read more

Nonni's doesn't take reservations but they will put you on a waitlist and text you when a table is ready. On a Friday night (off season) we only had to wait 20 minutes. The dining room is unique with cookie jar lamps and a spoon clock as well as old photos of (I presume) maybe original owners. Wait staff were quick to take orders and accommodating to splitting the bill for us. I had the spaghetti bolognese with Caesar salad-both excellent dishes. They have a great drink and dessert menu -wish I had room for dessert but I didn't this time. If you like Italian food I highly recommend this place! read more

Excellent! What more can I say! Great food, great prices and even better service. Would come back again and again!

After a long day of travel, all I wanted was something cozy and satisfying -- and this spot hit the mark. The atmosphere was inviting, the location super convenient (just a short trip from my hotel), and the menu offered just the kind of comfort food I was hoping for. I ordered the Carbonara with chicken, and it absolutely delivered. Rich, flavorful, and exactly what I needed to end the day on a high note. What really stood out, though, was the service. Amber, our server, was fantastic -- warm, welcoming, and full of personality. She made us feel right at home from the moment we sat down. They also have a nice selection of Italian wines, which added a perfect touch to the meal. All in all, a great experience. If you're nearby and craving Italian, this place is well worth a visit. read more
