Best eggplant parmigian in the west!!

by unmbrat

Best eggplant parmagian I have had since my grandmothers! The food was great, hot and tasty. The service and atmosphere was wonderful. The waiter was very attentive the atmosphere was comfortable, and relaxing. We will definitely come back for more. Try the fried raviolli as an appetizer unique and delicious dipped in the alfredo sauce was awesome.

• Pros: Food delicious and a great value
• Cons: construction on San Mateo

Pasta Bowl! "Pasta's-Pasta.

by ntb

An earlier review mentioned the endless pasta bowl- Spaghetti, thinking he would get Linguini or something-the TV ad say's spaghetti! (Endless bowl) Nonetheless, Nana's Restaurant is a nice place to eat. Friendly atmosphere-Good Italian food and it comes out hot and fresh! The prices are right-the surroundings a bit rustic- Yes, the salad's do leave a bit to be desired- (rather small) however, the dressings are very fresh...Try the blue cheese-large hunks of creamy blue cheese- "The real deal"! Any food establishment can be a bad experience (if) the service isn't good- a large part of a great experience is in the service. My last visit to Nana's Italian was: GOOD FOOD-GOOD SERVICE! Nana's is a pleasent place to eat- Prices are fair and the owner cares about your satisfaction. I do recommend you try it!

• Pros: Original Italian
• Cons: Parking can be a problem "Limited"

If you like Italian don't bother

by jefrotwo

After ordering our food, I hear a customer remarking her food was cold. Then the salad and soup came out. Salad was old and brown. The soup was overpowered with oregano.

The veggie Lasagna cold, but the spaghetti was hot. So I sent it back. Well it came back just as my partner was over 1/2 way done with his meal. It was suggested that I take it to go, cause the server would take it off my meal. O.k. Then I ordered a pizza to go. Big mistake. After almost 1/2 hr the bill comes and no food. So I pay for the food I have not received. And finally the food comes with an apology.

Mediocre

by johncandy

Endless pasta bowl requested. Found out it wasn't any pasta, just spaghetti and was not offered on a particular Friday evening when I went in for dinner.

The food was only so-so and not worth the trip.

If I return, I will give them another chance and see if they do any better.

The ad containing the words "endless pasta bowl", should be changed to more acurately reflect an endless spaghetti bowl. I thought I would have had endledd Alfredo had it been offered, alas, it was not to be.

• Pros: Server Friendly, Server Attentative
• Cons: , Food just So-So

A Taste of Italy

by luckieo

Nana's has a very nice atmosphere. The food has been great every time I have been there. The salads are a bit small, but all of the other portions are more than enough.

• Pros: Inexpensive
