    We had a reservation for dinner, and were promptly seated upon arrival. The place is cute, cozy, and we love a good open kitchen view. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and prompt and helped us with any questions we had about the menu. Our favourites were definitely the appetizers, but all of the food was absolutely delicious. We were on the last day of dry-January, so we’re looking forward to returning this next month to try some of the fabulous looking cocktails they had on the menu. Excellent place, food, and service overall. We will certainly be back!

    A caveat...Nostrana adds a 22% tip to provide a living wage to employees. Great, I support this, particularly because the staff deserves it, with their exceptional service. You're notified about this when you make the reservation, so I knew. I, however, forgot to tell my husband, who paid the bill for us and another couple. The bill was very high and he thought it was higher than it should be. He looked to see if there was an automatic gratuity and didn't see one and the server didn't notify us. He tipped 24% on top of the 22%. The most expensive meal and tip we've ever had. :( The restaurant is exceptional, from the service to the negronis to the food. Everything you put in your mouth is exceptional. I loved my classic negroni. We shared the funghi and pizza margheritas. The Nostrana salad...I could eat it every day for lunch for the rest of my life. My mouth is watering thinking about it. I had the scallop appetizer, which was tiny (as notified) and lukewarm. It was the only thing I wouldn't order again. The hubs had the stuffed trout, which was divine. And of course the butterscotch dessert...you can't miss it! Our server was 8/10. She would have been 10/10 had she reminded us of the added gratuity.

    The best part of this meal was its pace of service. It was perfect, which is rare. Our server provided helpful information on selecting. Each course raised our eyebrows upon first taste. Original taste experiences!
