Bar Nonno - Northcote

Had a great dinner tonight at Bar Nonno. Haven’t been there for more than a year and menu has changed but everything we had was delicious. Service brilliant and complimentary appetiser thrown in for good measure. Thanks Bar Nonno and we’ll be back again soon.

Very cute small bar restaurant, with fine wine and excellent food. Everything I had were delicious, especially the zucchini dish and the dessert. Staff was friendly and informative. Good atmosphere.

A nice little bar that sells a great range of wines. You can take away or sit in to experience a relaxing glass of wine and people watch. Well that's what my mate and I did lol.<br/ <br/ The service was friendly enough and efficient. I tried Green Vineyards Shiraz which was a local Victorian wine. This was earthy and it had nice berry flavours. There were minimum tannins and this was a great wine. But at $15 it wasn't cheap. <br/ <br/ My mate had an Italian Maurleo Sangiovese and apparently this was quite good. No we didn't share this time hahaha <br/ <br/ Overall this was a nice space to sit and relax and people watch. That's one of my favourite pastimes!

Honestly, the place is super nice. All the wines on the walls are amazing and I would look at them for hours. We had some oysters to start with the happy hour promotion and as we weren't really hungry we only had a cheese board and then a chocolate pudding. The wine that I had was really nice and 13$ by the glass was a fair price for a French wine. What this place should improve, and the reason why it gets 3.5, it's the service. I would definitely expect something more consistent, but it seems like they are a bit lost around the restaurant. It doesn't look like a casual place and the service that I would expect would be more upgraded.

I 'm giving the highest points because the food is great, atmosphere lay back and the staff great. I was in a foul mood which really had nothing to do with them and whinged to the Manager about some minor quibble. They were very gracious and made 'amends ' with desert-on-the-house. I reckon he should have thrown me out. Hope I can show my face there again in a year or so.....
