  I wanted to really give Nonna Emilia a higher rating. The 3.5 rating, and the crowd when I got there, made me think this would be a great place for Italian food; but, not quite as good as I hoped. Don’t get me wrong, the meal was good, but – believe it or not – Pastini’s is still my favorite place. I used to work in an Italian restaurant, as a kid in San Diego, and I have always used the place as the standard for all others. (Yes, it was that good!) Pastini’s actually meets that standard when it comes to the sauces and how well the cook up the pasta.At Nonna Emiilia’s they cook up a very meaty red sauce, but it is missing something – a sweetness of some sort. Still, the food was good, not great. Thus a 3. The place was packed and the service suffered as a result and there were periods of delays for more bread or to refresh the drinks, but our server did her best, thus, a 3. The ambiance was okay – quite loud though – but on the week-end night there was an entertainer who placed the accordion and the piano and would sing out on requests being made and, in many respects, he made the night fun. Thus, a 4.It adds up to a 3.3 but I won’t round up, so a 3 overall.

  I would like to give a warning to anyone who wants to use Nona Emilia’s catering. My daughter wanted Nona Emila’s food for her wedding bacause it was her favorite resturant and they ruined her wedding. We ordered food for 200 guests to be picked up at 2:30 p.m. When we showed up to pick up the food the doors were locked and no one would answer the phone. By the time we got a hold of someone and picked up the food it showed up at the reception two hours late. The people who gave us the food were rude and unapologetic.We had paid people to serve the food who had to work two extra hours and many of our guests had left before the food showed up. Monday after the wedding I tried to contact the owners for four days before I received a call back. After explaining our situation the owner told me he would call me back to discuss some type of compensation. Needless to say its been another 10 days and I still haven’t heard any response. P.S. I’m still waiting for a call!
