Trattoria Nonna

Came here due to recommendations of PTs I go to and I always hear them raving the parmigiana and amazing breadsticks. I came around 1pm and it wasn't busy on a weekday so I get to choose the table where I wanted to seat. It was humid so though they have nice outdoor seating outside I opted to seat indoors. What I like about this place is you won't smell like pizza like Dominic's and the like. Don't get me wrong , I love Dominic as well but if I have to be somewhere else after dinner, this is where I will get my parmigiana.. Very nice male servers and patient attended to me. Breadsticks he served on the table were to die for and my eggplant parmigiana arrived freshly made with pasta. Delicious so I was very happy and full. Serving was gigantic for me so I brought home some leftovers. I took a picture of lunch menu and noticed that price in the menu and what I paid for is different. Note that $12 eggplant parmigiana with breadsticks is still very reasonable IMO. I was told lunch menu was old menu. So check the price with them for lunch before you order so no surprises.

An Italian restaurant with a good vide and ambience. The calamari was amazing especially with the spicy sauce. My wife wanted the scallop & shrimp linguine but they no longer have scallops. But the waitress offered to make a similar style dish but with calamari & shrimp instead. It turned out to also be tasty. Would for sure drop by and taste the other dishes on the menu especially the pizza and lasagna.

We were meeting friends who picked the restaurant. I read the reviews and was looking forward to dining here. Sat outside on the patio in the rear of the restaurant. They have very good focaccia. I asked if the veal is milk fed and tendered and the waiter said yes so I ordered the VITELLO SORRENTINA . It was veal scallopine with eggplant, prosciutto, tomato, fresh mozzarella sherry wine, served with roasted potatoes. I opted for pasta instead of the potatoes. It wasn't that tendered and just fair. My wife decided on two different appetizers, MELANZANE ALLA PISANA , a tower of eggplant, fresh mozzarella, fresh tomato, and homemade basil pesto with pine nuts Also the CAVOLFIORE ALLA SICILIANA , sautéed golden brown cauliflower, topped with bread crumbs and pine nuts. She thought both were just ok. Sadly one and done.

A few friends have mentioned that Trattoria Nonna is the best Italian in Boca, so I was very excited about my first visit. They have a very cozy atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor area is gorgeous with a stunning mural and lots of palm trees. Chelsea was my server and she was wonderful - professional, efficient & helpful. I ordered the octopus appetizer and a side of vegetables. The grilled octopus was fresh and delicious - pure heaven! The appetizer came with some veggies and the side order was just green beans, and they were perfect too. Highly recommend !

We have been eating there for quite a few years. The last 4 visits the food has gotten worse and so has the service. Tonight we went and were seated immediately, but the service was the worst ever. 15 minutes before the order was taken and 25 minutes before the food arrived. The quality of the food was disappointing and the server never came back to see how everything was. I asked another employee for the check. That took 15 minutes. After presenting the card it took 25 minutes to bring it back. I don’t know what is happening there, but we will not be returning. David
