I love to go to Nancetta’s where one is not rushed. My food was good. The salads were great. Risotto balls magnificent. For me, the pasta was great. I ordered a pork chop. It was really good but the smell was offensive to our table. It had to be some kind of seasoning. Our friends did not enjoy their food because of this odor and felt the ambiance was worth it but the food was not. Sorry. Our waiter Paul was excellent and very busy. I would still go back.

Barbara, We are sorry that you did not enjoy your Pork chop, after checking with the chef, he added a little oregano on the meat. We are sorry that you did not enjoy, if you would have mentioned to our server (Paul S.) we would have replaced or ordered you another dish. Please do not hesitate in the future to let us know if there is something that you do not like. Thank you and we look forward to your return. Nancettas.

1st visit and will definitely be back! Was surprised it wasn't packed for a Saturday night but it did fill up more by the time we left. Small but quaint. The server was excellent. Very friendly and helpful ordering. It was a timely experience, but we didn't mind at all. Made to order is well worth it. The food was delicious! The zucchini blossoms and shrimp appetizers were delightful and well presented. The burrata salad was also delicious. For mains we ordered the chicken Romano, sauciccia and gnocchi with presto cream sauce. The pasta was fresh and you could tell it was homemade. The owners also checked in and were so very friendly. It was really a wonderful experience. So nice to see the pride and care.

Melissa, Thank you for your kind comments, we are happy you visited Nancettas and enjoyed your dinner. It's a pleasure when people can appreciate the time that goes into preparing our food and know the difference between homemade pasta and boxed pasta. That is how we do it here, everything made from scratch. Thank you again and look forward to your return. Nancettas

Perfect restaurant for a cold wintery night (actually any night). Wonderful eggplant parmesan. Good drinks. Thank you
Nancetta's RistoranteResponded on January 27, 2025
Thank you Laurie for venturing out on a cold winter's night!! We are glad you came and enjoyed your dinner. Our Eggplant is one of our popular dishes...and it's a great comfort food for a cold winter night!! Until we are into Spring and warm weather where we can enjoy the patio, we will dream of what is to come! Nancy/Nancettas

There was a weird interaction with the owner soon after arriving which was a bit unsettling for being our first time dining at this restaurant, which affected the service score. The food was fantastic, the environment was quint and cozy.
