Very authentic Italian restaurant. The pizza was amazing!! Especially the sauce, they made it perfectly. I appreciate that they offer sparkling water for free, felt very Italian. The dining area is so cute with various artwork of Italian cities. Will definitely go back!

Nonna's Osteria was a great place to have an early Saturday lunch. This was the first time I'd been to Nonna's Osteria, and I was really glad we chose here to eat. I live in Wasilla, but usually don't eat out. We were greeted and waited on by, Mary, who was an exceptionally pleasant and thoughtful person. I had the eggplant parmigiana sandwich which was very tasty, and I recommend it - everything is really fresh! The atmosphere was very welcoming with Italian photos and decor. I need to go back to try Nonna’s pizza! I LOVE wood-fired pizzas! I definitely recommend dining here. The food and staff are truly wonderful!

We were driving back from Denali to Anchorage and stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant. Phenomenal handmade pasta and pizza. They also have a very good selection of desserts which looked yum but we had no more space for dessert in our tummies. Their waitstaff was so friendly too. It was so refreshing to have great food made from scratch after all the ok-ish national park food.

We got to this place by recommendations. We ordered pasta from their special menu with lemon and it was delicious. Service and atmosphere is amazing. Servers are polite and they suggested us some places to see around the area, which is nice

This was such a cute little spot for our date night. The service was spot on and the food was amazing. I highly recommend a reservation as this place was full the entire time.

Nonna’s is absolutely wonderful. My family, friends, and I have been dining here for quite a while now. I’ve never had a disappointing experience. This food is authentic Italian - not Italian-American like you find in NYC or Chicago. Therefore, it might throw some folks off. But it’s amazing. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and Marian (Nonna) makes amazing food with her chefs in back. Steve puts out an amazing truly authentic Italian pizza.

An amazing dining service. Our server Jennifer was so friendly and attentive. Nonna came out and spoke with us and treated us like family. Food was amazing and it was clear that everything was freshly made and not frozen or store bought. Will definitely come here again.

What a gem we found, on the way back from Anchorage, after a long day at Brooks Falls, Katmai! Warmly greeted, service was excellent and all of the dishes we ordered were perfect! We met “Nonna” and she graciously brought out zucchini blossoms as a chef amuse! Two of us ordered carbonara and a sausage pizza to share, and the other person ordered a margherita pizza - salads were fresh and plentiful, and were accompanied by focaccia (we requested olive oil for dipping) - it was a perfect dining experience!
