“ The best European inspired restaurant in the area! Our favorites: French onion soup & goat cheese crepe. Their Mimosa pitcher is awesome! Great vibe and ambience. Staff is always prompt and courteous. Live music on Sundays. Nonnis is definitely a gem in the beautiful Pleasanton downtown! ”
“ This is my absolute favorite place in Pleasanton for Sunday brunch. But their food is amazing every other day too. Here is tonight's dinner. ”
“ Visited for a weekday lunch and was quickly greeted with a friendly welcome. Small, simple menu and ordered: :: Seasonal Fish Pot - this was delicious with salmon, mussels, shrimp in a tomato-based broth similar to a cioppino which I love. The accompanying garlic-cheese toast was perfect! :: Filetto Sandwich - grilled beef sirloin with onion, mushrooms caramelized onions, greens, aioli on ciabatta - tender pieces of beef and yummy Service was friendly and efficient. Place is cozy and cute with outdoor parklet for dining. Will have to visit for dinner and the live music. ”
“ What a charming bistro on a street full of many restaurants to choose from. I'm glad we stopped in. The place was packed which is usually a sign of good food and this was no exception. We both had Williams Pot served in a cute yellow bowl/pot. Everything is layered so I'd recommend stirring before you dive in. Wish I'd thought to do that because all the goodies were at the bottom of the bowl. I'd definitely stop in again when I'm in the area. ”
“ Great food and wonderful service. Went here for dinner and love the ambience of the place, felt homey. The lamb melted like butter and the mashed potatoes behind it was light that complemented it. The complimentary bread was delicious, had a nice crust exterior and fluffy inside. I also got myself an old fashioned that tasted delicious! ”
“ Cute spot with indoor and outdoor seating. Parking is around the corner or street parking. Service was good, came by quite a few times to make sure everything was to our liking. The Williams pot was good, but quite greasy towards the bottom. The cheese blintze was delicious. Nice soft texture that melts in your mouth and the berries with the glaze is just to die for. I would go back for those alone. Had some drinks that were great for the time we came. It was refreshing. ”
“ It was 100 degrees outside. By the time I parked and walked a few blocks to the restaurant, I was hot and needed some water. It was 12:30 and the place was hopping. The tables inside are placed pretty close to each other. I actually could not get into my chair as there was someone right behind me so we had to move the table over. Our kind server brought us small glasses of ice water and left us a carafe of water with mint inside. It was refreshing and hit the spot. The menu is large and varied with breakfast items like pancakes, french toast, omelettes, benedicts as well as some healthy alternatives. We both ordered the chiccone (chicken) sandwich with no onions. It's a grilled chicken breast with roasted red peppers, onions and jack cheese on a ciabatta bun. You have a choice of fries, salad or soup and we both decided on the salad with their basil vinaigrette. The greens were fresh and crisp and the vinaigrette was delicious and light. We expected the restaurant to be busy since it was a Saturday and a short distance from the Farmer's Market. We had a very pleasant meal even though people were bustling around us. We could chat comfortably and we both thoroughly enjoyed our flavorful lunches. They also have outside dining in front of the restaurant. ”
