   I was really shocked by the service. We had dirty plates on our table from our appetizers that were empty throughout the whole meal. One of our drinks came out completely different than what we ordered and we had to go inside to get someone to bring our check since we didn’t see our server for almost 15 minutes. The food was fine, but not really worth the price. I would suggest going back to the drawing board on the focaccia, it was flimsy and really soft on the top. The patio is beautiful and the ambience made a good experience but everything else needs some work.

   Usually Nono is a hit but this time they were struggling. I had made reservations for inside and they weren’t able to accommodate that. Food took a lot longer than usual, silverware wasn’t available, you had to ask for it and they gave us paper napkins. I overheard a couple who left early because something happened with their order and they just left. But I will say, typically it’s a hit. Just maybe an off night

   Nona’s Bistro is a charming concept with undeniable potential, but our experience fell short of expectations. While the ambiance and setting hinted at something special, the execution left much to be desired. The Setting: The bistro boasts beautiful landscaping and a quirky appeal, nestled in what feels like a cozy backyard. However, the intimate vibe we anticipated was overshadowed by the sheer number of tables crammed into the small space. For couples at two-tops, the proximity to other diners—just a few feet away—made it impossible to enjoy a private conversation without raising our voices. Service: The service was, unfortunately, the biggest letdown. Despite the restaurant being busy, there was only one server managing over 30 patrons in a garage-like space. This resulted in extensive wait times: our visit stretched to 3.5 hours, with long gaps between interactions. Drinks were delayed, with only one round served throughout the evening because we saw our server just once every 40–50 minutes. Addressing issues, like a burned chicken entrée, proved impossible due to the lack of attention. The Food and Drinks: The menu features a good drink selection, but the food was underwhelming. The chicken dish arrived burned, and overall, the flavors failed to justify the high prices. Our order—a mix of two small plates, one medium, one large, a dessert, and four drinks—came to $160. While the cost might be reasonable for a premium dining experience, it felt steep given the subpar service and chaotic atmosphere. Overall: Nona’s Bistro has all the ingredients for a standout experience: a unique location, quirky charm, and beautiful surroundings. However, the overcrowded space, insufficient staffing, and inconsistent food quality make it difficult to recommend. With better management and attention to detail, this bistro could shine, but as it stands, it’s more frustrating than delightful.

   Very unique restaurant. Great food and ambiance! Maybe a little understaffed.

   We were bringing family visits SLC for the first time. The service was terrible. It took around 20 min for someone to come greet our table. After almost an hour we received our appetizers. The menu is already very limited and they said they had been out of the meatballs for at least a week. They were still out. We had 6:45pm reservations and didn’t leave until 9pm. Our family was visiting from the east coast so as you can imagine with the time difference this was not convenient.

   Meals were sub par, not really a full meal, just a protien and greens. The kale salad with chicken did not include any chicken and then when I asked where the chicken was they double charged me for it. The arugula side salads included no arugula and were just spring mix. The restaurant was so cute and the cocktails were good.

    I ate indoors by myself, and was seated at a communal bar heigh table. Staff was attentive, noticing my empty carafe and clearing dishes when I was done. Overall it was a nice experience.
