Restaurants near McMenamins Kennedy School

Wonderful anniversary at this outstanding restaurant!! My wife and I had not been back to Ringside since COVID. It was so much fun to revisit the superb food and superlative service. We loved we very minute!♥️

I don’t normally write reviews but my husband and I had such a great time. I remembered this place from about 16 years ago when my grandma took me when I was 12. I remembered enjoying the pizza a lot and figured my husband and I would enjoy that. We ended up getting the Spaghetti, Beef Cheek dish, Rosemary and Sage focaccia w/ olive oil, chocolate mousse, and lemon soufflé. We were embarrassed that we cleaned each plate, but it was worth it. I’m not even sure how to explain how good everything tasted, but every dish had something to it that made it incredible. Our server was super sweet, she checked in with us at appropriate times, was very polite and made thoughtful chit chat with my husband who’s very extroverted. We had a cute little table w/ a candle and small flowers, and it was comfortable. I recommend wholeheartedly.

We had a wonderful dining experience. From the moment we walked in we could tell the experience would be great. We were quickly provided with a server who provided us with sparkling water and went through the special for this special Sunday meal. We started with bread and whipped butter, the bread was the perfect mix of crunchy and soft. Our entrees came and did not disappoint. My companion loved her pork stuffed cannelonis and my salad was great. We followed up with Affogato Al caffee and a baked pear crumble. Overall we highly recommend Nostrana.

i dont remember the chefs name or any of the staffs but genuinely had a blast with my partner, the whole time we basically was talking about the warm feeling that was brought to us by the staff trully magnificent

Wow! This place was amazing. Every one of the 6 courses was fantastic. The layout generated a sense of community and the owners' discussion of each dish was heartwarming. My wife and I split the tea and wine pairings. The wine pairing was well thought out. The tea pairing was delicious, but be prepared to drink a lot of tea!
