    Inside
    Cawnii P.

    Like walking back in time to a restaurant in Italy, inside with pictures from the past. We ordered a bottle of wine, wicker Fiasco. Grew up with these as a kid and wanted to take home the bottle to make a candle. The bread was fantastic. Ordered Risotto with lamb shank (I don't like risotto but this was delicious) ,Seafood pasta outstanding, Triamisu (was not my favorite) and crème brûlée which husband enjoyed. Our server, ARISTA, was Excellent and she made our evening memorable, Thank you!

    Meatball with marinara

    Visited on an early Thursday evening as part of a side trip from Cannon Beach. There was no wait when we got there a little before 5 but by the time we were done, there were a few people waiting in line. Very welcoming and friendly service. Nice family atmosphere. Had the cheese bread and meatball for appetizers. For main dishes, we had cannelloni, beef medallions, spaghetti, with Bolognese, and linguine pesto Genevieve. They were all excellent. In fact, we ordered another portion of the cheese bread. They have a nice selection of cocktails and wines. I had an Italian margarita which I really enjoyed.

    The house lasagna and artichoke and mushroom beef medallions
    Laura C.

    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.

    Carbonara with veggies
    Alyssa W.

    Food was amazing. Dessert trio was delicious. All of our drinks were perfect as well. Service was fast and efficient. Our waitress asked if we wanted cheese and pepper added to our dishes and was very attentive. Highly recommend this place. Ambience and decor was family oriented and it felt so nice to sit down and have a good meal.

    Risotto
    Kristi P.

    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.

    Spaghetti bolognese
    Nicole W.

    We really enjoy coming here when we're in town. Inviting eating area with quite a bit of space. I had the spaghetti bolognese and my wife had the seafood fettuccini. Both were very flavorful. They also bring out fresh complimentary bread, butter and oil and vinegar. Service was fast and friendly. Would recommend!

    Spaghetti Carbonara with prawns
    Tommy K.

    The service is very good and the spaghetti carbonara with prawns was delicious and tasty dinner pasta ever

    Seafood Alfredo

    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!

    Cannelloni and fresh bread. So good
    Joseph P.

    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.

    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.

    Outstanding food, service & atmosphere! Their pork chop will blow.your.mind. So yum!!!!!read more

    I now understand the recent mixed reviews for Bistro, our evening here was a bit of a hot mess…read more Our Starters and Entrees were good but just about everything else was...off. As positives we enjoyed our plates, especially the Crab and Prawn Cakes. I also liked my entree of the Thai Style Coastal Soup, spicy and full of delicious fresh seafood, with the nit that the slice of toasted sourdough afloat in the bowl served only as an annoyance (I'd much prefer fresh bread on the side). But unfortunately there were a set of concerns: The cocktails were poorly made, especially the "Spice is Nice", which simply...wasn't. Lacking of balance and flavor. The focaccia, I think it was curry cardamom flavored? Didn't work. Tables were very tightly spaced and the noise level in the small room was high. I couldn't help hearing our neighbors' conversations but somehow couldn't hear my wife from across the table, I hate echo chambers! The live music - I'll spare specifics for the sake of the entertainer. Let's just say we preferred the ambience while the performer was on break. The server almost seemed to be trying too hard - there's no need for forced banter or laughter. I chose Bistro based on its web site and menu and was looking forward to a wonderful fine dining experience. We left disappointed.

    Per recommendation of front desk at RiverTide Suites we tried this place out. Not disappointed,…read moreservice was friendly, good amount of seating indoors and out and partially out as we were. Outdoor has large tables with fireplaces which would be great for large groups. We started with the fast fried Calamari, which was a good amount with both rings and tentacles. Wife had the Cioppino while I had the Seafood Pasta. The Cioppino was a bit pricey; however, was loaded with seafood and included some king crab which we had not seen at other places we have had the dish. The Seafood Pasta was rich and also loaded with seafood. Would certainly recommend if searching for seafood. Note: when we came at 6pm on a Monday we were told there was a 20min wait. We walked around the boardwalk and returned in 15 and the table was ready in less than 5min.

    Finn's came recommended by friends as "the place for Fish n Chips in Seaside" and they didn't…read moredisappoint! The Cod came out perfectly crisp with their Honey Orange beer batter and paired perfectly with the same beer. NOTE: The Regular fries are much much better than the sweet potato fries. I hate to say they were some of the less impressive ones I've ever had. The service was excellent amidst the outdoor seating area with lovely heaters to keep us warm on a chillier day, though. No complaints but steer clear of the sweet potato fries if you prefer a crisp/crunchy fry.
