We went here from a from referral. Its in a different location than you would think, its sort of tucked back near a residential community. The parking lot has a decent size and we went on a Friday night. It was not very packed. We made a reservation but we didn't need to. They also have a big deli /restaurant area on the other side that was closed when we go there. The 1s thing we noticed walking in was the front step was in much need of a repair and in the dark and in heels or dress shoes it was a concern. We were seated right away and the staff was awesome. Our server heather was very attentive and took time to explain all the menu options..best sellers and her personal favorites. We got a couple of drinks, we were told the wine selection was awesome but we don't drink wine. We had a peroni and lemon spritzer. We had to send the lemon spritzer back it was not drinkable. We got the gnocchi and the seasonal sweet corn ravioli. Both of these dishes were amazing. we also had the caprese salad which was very tasty also. They did bring us bead which I am not sure if it usually comes out cold but it was cold and did not add to the food experience. One thing that was a huge turn off with the meal was ...when our entree were presented we asked for more shredded cheese as the gnocchi had some but the ravioli did not. The server told us it would be extra...yes $3 dollars extra for a ramakin of shredded cheese on a $50 dollar per person meal. That is not equal quality if you ask us. The one detractor from this place is it has white glove prices but the decor was not that. The actual room decor and table settings did not meet that of the price and atmosphere they were going for. All and All we would for sure go back to try some other options as it was decent Italian option for MN. It for sure ranks in my 10 ten for this state.

After many years of absolutely loving this restaurant we returned (first time since COVID) and found that both the service and food had deteriorated considerably. Food was plain, not at all the delicious tastes from years ago, not even the signature pasta dishes. The waiter was difficult to understand, served us bread and when a piece fell off the plate it was served on, he grabbed it WITH HIS HAND and put it back onto the plate. So, so, sad to write this review, but we will NOT be returning…

My friend and I love this place! We try to ask for Daniel's section, but all servers are great. I Nonni has well presented, high quality food that's delicious. Wonderful wine list as well -- with additional shopping area for take-out wine, food, etc. I'm looking forward to summer when the deck opens up as they have a beautiful brook, deck & landscaping. The rounded booths in the dining area are comfortable for indoor seating. I typically prefer a more modern vibe, but the food always keeps me coming back. Check website for happy hour specials Tues - Fri (ends at 5).

We had a 30-person wedding dinner in I Nonni’s wine room; beautiful private setting. The service, food, and wine all BLEW AWAY even our high expectations! What a special place. Made for an even more unforgettable event!

If I could give a negative review I would!! We had been working with I Nonni since January 2025 for our 40th anniversary. We had lunch and visited the restaurant in February to try the food and see the private dining options. We fell in love with wine room and booked it for June 6th. We asked at the time if we needed to put money done or sign for it and were told no the room was ours. This past Monday April 21st we were sent the menu to pick our food choices and on Wednesday we were told that the room was given to someone else who asked for it on Tuesday the 22nd. I talked to the manager who said there was nothing she could do. How does that even make sense?? We made the reservation in February but someone can come along and ask for it and take our reservation?!!! I would not recommend planning a private party with this restaurant unless you have a solid plan B because they may or may not honor your reservation. Now looking for last minute venues.
