Welcome to Nonna's Brasserie

We visited Nonna's because our regular Italian was full. The experience was extremely disappointing. We ordered a seafood salad and Pork loin chop on stir fried vegetables. All the food was overcooked including the seafood, the salad was soggy and the stir fried vegetables were an unidentifiable sludgy mixture.

Service was over zealous

In a great setting in York Street but the ambience of the restaurant is diminished by the outdated furnishings and looping PowerPoint presentation showing the specials, a weird impersonal touch

extremely disappointing, won't be going back

Nonna's was a minor highlight in what was a culinary disappointing visit to Albany. While not as grand as it once was, Nonna's still dishes up decent Austro-Italian fare from the bottom end of York St. The seafood in particular was good, with a 'hotpot' of prawns, scallops and mussels proving a highlight. Deserts were disappointing but a bottle of Alkoomi Sauvignon Blanc kept the evening above average.

We went in here very hungry after a whale-watching tour and opted for the $15 option whereby you can pick from a number (perhaps 15?!) choices of dish, all of which cost $15 and that includes a drink. If it's not served within 15 minutes I think you get to eat free or some such deal.

My partner and I both opted for the calamari. It was served with chips (extremely good!) and a small side salad. We both agreed that in terms of value for money, the $15 deal really isn't at all. The quality of food was good but the quantity was most definitely on the mean side.

Their main menu was appealing and varied - on the pricey side but I'm sure having 'sampled' from their budget menu that the quality would be good.

Service was slick, maybe even slightly rushed and also a little on the unfriendly side.
