“This is food the way we like to eat,” says Joe Davi, Founding Partner at Nona Blue.Davi and Bill Bona, also Founding Partner at Nona Blue, saw American dining trending toward smaller portions with different tastes; sharing at tables had always been an option, now it was being encouraged. As the vision for Nona Blue began to come into focus, Bona and Davi began crafting their “Shareables” menu, featuring items that can be passed among an entire table or serve as a meal for a single guest.

This Italian restaurant is a hidden gem of Winter Park. The food and service were both excellent. The waiters were very polite, attentive, helpful, and quick. The Chianti they serve is very good too. Inner them 5 out of 5 stars across the board. If you have not eaten there, you should! Bravissimo!

We go to Aurora a lot, and the one thing I noticed is they never changed their menu. I would love something new on the menu because they’re very creative. The food was very good. Service was great.

Booked this for my book group for dinner tonight, for 8 of us. We all raved about our food. Dishes we ordered included the pasta with pancetta, the spinach pasta with salmon, the cod, the seafood stew, pizza, pear dessert and crème brûlée. Oh and I can’t forget the bread with the pesto/olive oil/vinegar dip. The wine selection and service was excellent as was the ambiance. No piano music tonight but it was full and did not seem loud at all. We can’t wait to come back to this new favorite gem.
