I had the pleasure of dining at Nonna Carola today, and I must say, it was an extraordinary culinary experience. From the moment I stepped in, the ambiance exuded warmth and authenticity, setting the stage for what turned out to be an unforgettable meal.
The menu boasted a delightful array of traditional Italian dishes, each crafted with precision and care. I started with the grilled octopus, which was perfectly tender and packed with flavor. The mozarella carozza was a delightful twist on a classic, offering a crispy exterior that gave way to a gooey, indulgent center.
For the main course, I opted for the short rib over mashed potatoes with short rib sauce, and I was blown away by the richness and depth of flavor. The meat was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the accompanying sauce added a savory punch that elevated the dish to new heights.
The homemade mushroom ravioli was a true standout, showcasing the chef's skillful handiwork and attention to detail. Each bite was a symphony of earthy flavors, perfectly complemented by a delicate sauce that tied everything together beautifully.
To top it all off, the frutti di mare was a seafood lover's dream, featuring an assortment of fresh, succulent seafood that was expertly prepared and impeccably presented.
In addition to the impeccable cuisine, the service at Nonna Carola was top-notch. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about providing guests with an exceptional dining experience.
Overall, my experience at Nonna Carola was nothing short of spectacular. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in search of authentic Italian cuisine served with a touch of elegance and flair. Grazie mille to the talented team at Nonna Carola for a truly memorable meal. I will definitely...

This being one of the best dishes according to ,what I gathered was head waiter or manager . We ordered wine by the glass and skipped desert, we didn’t want to press our luck .Unfortunatley not , making it a point to return until seasoning is made...
