Stella Nonna Restaurant & Bar

This is one of our favorite go-to breakfast spots in Berkeley, for dining either on their patio, in their dining room, or right at their bar. Everything they serve is very good, including the coffee (and cocktails, if you enjoy that with brunch). They tend to fumble a bit with the technical aspect of confirming reservations for a larger group, but the food and friendly service is worth this service glitch. Just make sure to call to confirm your rez if you have a big group. And don't expect all your plates to arrive at the same time if you are a large group, so this one more opportunity for a service improvement they may want to consider. However, we are still loyal customers, because all their egg dishes and their baked goods are so delicious.

We LOVED the food and the ambiance! Our server was professional and just the right amount of friendly. We are planning to return soon.

Brunch was super yummy! And they have a really good happy hour.

Great spot to eat! Korean fried chicken wings on point! The ribs and the fried fish special was very tasty! The waitress was very friendly also. I recommend you stop by!

Mmm!!!! Its been a really long time since I went out for brunch with friends. I of course got the basic plate, but there was a lot of great things on the menu. And oo, for those that can drink and like grapefruit more than mimosas 😍 there is a drink for us too

Not bad, been there a few times. It's a little pricey and food doesn't totally live up. But it's good.

Cool vibe, friendly staff, and the tastiest home fries we've ever had

This is a beautiful restaurant. The inside is lovely, the patio is a great place to dine. We came here for brunch, and wow. The biscuits and gravy were fantastic, and they do not skimp on the heavy. The black pepper biscuit was tender but held up against the sausage sausage sausage gravy. I had chicken and waffles, easily the best waffle I've ever had. Real maple syrup. My husband had the gumbo and was very impressed, although next time he'll order the biscuit the side. The Mexican hot cocoa was more like a delicious chocolate soup. It actually came in a bowl, with a spoon. You'll love it. Get a bloody Mary as well, they are delicious. Will be coming back.
