Nonna's Kitchen - Hoddesdon

The food was wonderful and well portioned. For two people, we spent around £40, so £20 per person, which is good value. Considering we both had a main course, seafood risotto and mushroom with Parma ham pizza, and also ice cream to share. There were a lot of mussels (6) for this dish. They also offered Parmesan cheese for the dish.
The selection of desserts were vast, but we didn’t have the stomach space for it this time.
The dining area was massive and I went on a Saturday lunch hour and it was not very packed. The tables were clean.
The toilets were of good cleanliness and had toilet paper, soap and moisturiser.
The service by the staff were fast, however most of the staff gave an aloof vibe. Some staff were friendly.
When we were leaving, the staff gave us a coupon to encourage us to come visit again (30% off), which was a surprise! This may be a promotional event, but I’m not sure. The coupon is usable for 2025 Jan, so I will be visiting again.
Overall, I would come back again because of the quality of the food and the atmosphere! Yum!

I gave one star solely because of one reason only. How can you charge a £25 service charge!
I know your menu says that for groups of 6 or more there is a compulsory service charge of 12.5%. However, I found this ridiculous because we were only 3 adults and 3 children and the youngest child was 4 at the time - so if I sat on a separate table to them and paid separately then I would have saved £25!

I would understand if it was a 6 adults and all had multiple drinks and food and the waiter was back and forth... but my 3 children are hassle free so I just don't see a £25 service charge justified.

What an amazing hidden gem. Food is absolutely lovely all the staff are very nice and helpful the setting is beautifully done. Went there for mine and my daughters birthday. It was her 18th amazing night. Many great memories made even got me up dancing now that was good, usually behind the decks. Every Friday and Saturday night, they do a disco from 9 till midnight. Brilliant resident dj Dean Martin absolutely nailed it. Very reasonable prices. Will definitely be going back there. Well done to all the staff amazing 👏.

I visited Nonna's Kitchen, eager to indulge in their famously delicious arancini. However, I was met with a surprising and disappointing twist: each arancino appeared to have shrunk by a staggering 80%!

What used to be a satisfying traditional rice ball-sized treat is now barely a golf ball sized snack. It’s hard to appreciate the flavors when the portion sizes are so drastically reduced.
For the price, I expected a more substantial serving. It left me feeling underwhelmed and questioning the value.
I hope they reconsider hope they bring back the original arancino size soon!

Had lunch there, and I will never go back. They bring us pasta first, which was half of the order. The other 2 person had to wait another 10 minutes for their pizza. Pizza came eventually, wrong. The waiter took it back to correct it, and what a disaster it came back after another 5 minutes. Raw mushrooms on the pizzas, dried ham on the other, such a shame. Service.... below 1 star. You call the staff to ask for something and you get some fed up looks 🙄 I would definitely not go back

Good food but the service was appalling. We were greeted by a very unfriendly maitre d who seemed to think he was doing us a favour by allowing us in. During the meal the plates were taken away before everyone had finished and straight away asked if we wanted the bill!
Being polite and courteous and making your customers feel welcome should be a priority
