    The food and service were impeccable. This is our favorite upscale steak restaurant. There were two large parties that we were seated next to which definitely affected the noise level as they were not courteous of others. Besides that, it was fantastic!

    We had the radicchio salad, beef and pork gnocchi and tagliata. The salad was so fresh and delicious, the Caesar style dressing was absolutely to die for and it wasn’t overdressed (which is a usual problem for me). The beef and pork gnocchi was soft and tender, and the ragu was so flavorful. The tagliata was cooked to perfection and the chimichurri was the perfect compliment. I’m really glad I didn’t let the string of poor reviews impact my decision to dine here. Perfect atmosphere, impeccable service and some of the best Italian food I’ve had in a while. Brava Nostrana!

    The views from the restaurant are amazing! The table was perfect, just what we needed for our business meeting. The management was very accommodating when I had to add additional seating the day before. The staff showed us exceptional service and was super friendly plus very knowledgeable about the menu. We had an excellent time and will definitely be back!

    Fried oysters were great but the popcorn crawfish was pretty well all breading and no crawfish. Crab leg tortellini was excellent as was the NZ Waipahu Sauvignon Blanc
