What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Da Nonna Gina is praised for its authentic Italian cuisine, particularly its homemade pasta, and its warm, romantic atmosphere. Diners appreciate the good value for money and the extensive wine list. However, some guests have noted that portions can be small for the price and have experienced inconsistent service, particularly when perceived as tourists. Flies have also been a minor complaint for some outdoor diners.
"Such a magical place and an incredible find! The set up is so lovely - in an alleyway, each table has its own platform. The food & drinks quality was simply excellent and the waiters were attentive and kind. Prices are very reasonable. Truly, such a jewel!"

"First time we tried without reservation. It was full, the atmosphere lasemed I credible and many apparently local Italians were filling the place. We felt this was confirming the good reviews.
Next we made a reservation a few days later for dinner. The service was quite cocky and arrogant, even if we spoke Italian the kept on speaking English which emphasized that we were tourists and being treated as such. We ordered battuta/Carne cruda and vitello tonnato and next tagliatelle with just butter and truffels and the pork steak with barbecue sauce. The vitello was swimming in the sauce and so did the pork steak, making it impossible to taste the meat. The pork was quite overcooked. The carne cruda was topped with so much parmigiana that it had to be put aside to taste the meat. The tagliatelle was cooked so poorly - partly it is was overdone and in addition there were lots of lumps of pasta sticking together. It also seemed to have been the broken left over of pasta. No way I could twirl it around a fork. Probably that's why they gave me a knife with my pasta. Not that I needed cutting but to get it onto a fork. When I mentioned and showed the lumps of pasta that I had not eaten, she took our plates away and shouted to the rest of the staff that the pasta was not properly cooked. But she said nothing to us. Nothing was done, said and no discount on the bill.
It seems this place only appreciates the local Italians, and definitely not tourists. And the do not only serve them poor food, rip them off but also make you feel it, such unfriendly and arrogant service."

"An absolute gem. Wonderful dishes prepared with high quality ingredients. Huge wine list. Excellent service.
FYI for those with limited mobility, there is one step at the entrance. It's a few steps away from a small parking area."
