    I’m sure I’m being redundant from every other review I’ve done on Nostrana’s since they opened almost 20 years ago • we love to try new places but we try to get to Nostrana 3 or 4 times a year because we know the food,cocktails and wine will be excellent •• we don’t even take our own wine unless it’s a really special occasion because they always have an excellent choice of reasonably priced Italian offerings •• tonight we had a 2011 Tuarasi that was delicious• the dinner and dessert were as well-I don’t rate restaurants because there are so many variables but Nostrana would be in my top five by any metric

    we had Alex as our server, you will never find one as personable as she is. We were there for hours, she let us chat and stopped by to check on us. The food was brought to us by a friendly server, who chatted a bit. All and all I love going here , you feel relaxed and welcome.
