    Wow, I had high expectations for this restaurant and it still managed to exceed it. Everything was incredible - both the food and the service. I was fortunate that my friend got the vegetarian menu and I got the omnivore so that we could try all the things - and they were both equally good. I’ll be dreaming of Le Pigeon until I can return.

    We started going to Nostrana right after it opened almost 20 years ago-the service,food,cocktails and wine selection have always been excellent • Many of the dishes would fit perfectly in Sorrento or Firenze ,while others have a PNW style •all are delicious ••they have a great selection of Italian wines & Amaros and tasty cocktails-we prefer looking at the Amalfi Coast or Golfo di Napoli but Nostrana is on par & everyone speaks English unlike many other Great Italian Restaurants •it’s generally a 5 star experience in my opinion (and I’m fairly critical)Definitely worth a try if you’ve never been
