My sister and I had such a great experience at Nunzi's By The Water. From the moment we walked in,…read morethe service was warm, welcoming, and inviting. Our waitress made us feel completely comfortable we were laughing, having side conversations, and genuinely enjoying ourselves all night. By the end of the evening, she even said, "Goodnight, love you!" and quickly laughed saying she didn't mean to say it. That pretty much summed up the vibe of the night friendly, relaxed, and memorable. The food was excellent from start to finish. I had the Caesar salad appetizer, which was very good, and my sister had the calamari, which she said was excellent. For our entrées, we both ordered the chicken parmesan with alavaca sauce, and it was absolutely delicious. To finish the night, we shared the crème brûlée for dessert, and it was the perfect treat. The portion is definitely big enough for two people, so I wouldn't recommend ordering one per person. The location is beautiful and right by the water true to the restaurant's name. The only small thing to note is the parking. There are two parking lots, and the first one is definitely the better option. The second lot leads closer to the waterfront entrance and can feel a little tight and snug when parking. Overall, we had an amazing time and would absolutely go back. Great food, great atmosphere, and even better service.

We were seated at a table and took a while to be met by a server. Restaurant had a very traditional Italian restaurant vibe, which was executed well. Took a while for someone to come take our drink order, and we were given bread. Seemed like there was only 1 or 2 servers covering the whole place, so that could have been why it took a bit. Dinner orders were taken, and honestly came out very quickly. I had gotten a brick oven pizza, that was actually very tasty. We opted for some dessert as well, and ended up getting the three ice cream options they had. No picture because our kids devoured them. A cozy little Italian spot close to home.

I understand that not every place is child-friendly, but this is a pizza place! We are excited to introduce our kids to a variety of cuisines from a young age, and we thought pizza would be a good choice. They aren't chicken fingers and fries kinda kids . The food was decent; I wouldn't go as far as to say it was the best pizza I've ever had. However, the meal was overshadowed by the hostess's attitude. Throughout our visit, she kept glaring at us every time one of the kids made even the slightest noise. It felt incredibly unwelcoming. To make matters worse, they do not provide high chairs. When we mentioned that we'd still like to stay despite that, since our one-year-old can sit in a regular chair, it felt like a battle just to get one. It was clear that the hostess was eager for us to leave. Our meal felt rushed, as if we were being timed on how quickly we could eat. Her continual glares were uncomfortable, especially since we were seated right next to the hostess stand. It's unfortunate how much a bad hostess can negatively impact a dining experience. I genuinely hope the management realizes this and considers better training for their staff. Overall, this experience made it clear to me that I won't be returning. They really need to work on creating a welcoming environment for families. Especially because of the town they are located in.

And of the 3 or 4 options, Novi is the nicest. Unfortunately, the bar staff has become just dreadful. When did it become too hard to make someone feel welcome in your establishment? A simple "Hello", maybe a smile? Most of the the bartenders are walking around SO depressed, one almost wonders how they can even be out in public. Some of them are so chronically depressive I don't want to be anywhere close. It is so bad that many in the area have stopped going. Yeah, that bad. None of us have ever seen anything like this before. The one exception is Melisa, who is always charming and a joy to chat with. The rest? Well, we are all going elsewhere now.

The pork chop special was very flavorful, the chicken alla ross was a favorite, and the fried zucchini was a hit (especially with the kids).

They then proceeded to charge me full price because I shouldn't have ordered 2 pastas although this was never mentioned by the wait staff nor listed on the menu.

Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing from the moment we walked in. We were greeted with "How can we help you?" which immediately felt impersonal and not very welcoming for a restaurant setting. It caught me off guard, as I expected a warmer greeting. I asked for a table for two, and despite seeing many empty seats, we were asked if we had a reservation. When I said no, we were told they had many reservations coming in and that we could either wait or return at 8 PM. The interaction felt cold, uninviting, and honestly a bit embarrassing. There was no effort to accommodate us or make us feel valued as potential customers. We chose to leave and went to another restaurant, where we had a much better experience. For me, customer service is everything, and this establishment completely missed the mark. I would not recommend this place, and I would not return.
