Great ambience in the first room, second area has some brighter lights. Pollo Veneto was delicious just a touch salty. Toffee sticky cake was delicious. We sat and talked a while with no problem as the place clears out nicely after dinner.

We had a nice dinner at Nonna Silvia's. Our server (Holly) was extremely nice and accommodating. When we arrived, we were seated at a table that was just off the bar and rather noisy. We asked if we could move to another table that was recently vacated. Holly very nicely moved us to that table, which was more out of the way and farther from the bar. Holly helped us with deciding our menu selections which was very helpful. The food was good! We will make another visit before too long. Worth eating at a nice local small business!!

Love this restaurant. Have previously only been there during the week. This time, a Friday night, the joint was rocking. Very loud and distracted a bit from the meal, which was excellent. Love that they have interesting and different specials all the time.

Was there for a birthday on a Tuesday night. We both ordered main course off the specials menu. Pastas were good, but not great as they usually are. Service was spotty, which is unusual. A brownie with ice cream to help celebrate my wife's birthday was a nice touch.

Stan was a wonderful server. We enjoyed the Olives very much. Baked clams were nice but it felt like something was missing in flavor. Bianca pizza we enjoyed. Our main dish Pasta Bolognese, could have been hotter, Sausage and Meatballs very nice. We will comeback there’s some other dishes that we really want to try. Thank you for a wonderful dinner.
