Nona's Italian Grill - The Woodlands

Nona’s is hands down my favorite Italian restaurant! The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with real, high-quality ingredients. Whether you're stopping in for lunch or dinner, you're in for a treat. The lunch options are generous and delicious — perfect portions and very reasonably priced. Dinner has such a warm, welcoming atmosphere, often made even more special with a lovely piano player (he plays at the perfect level so it's not loud at all) adding to the ambiance. The wait staff is always incredibly kind and attentive. We've celebrated several special occasions here, and the team always makes it feel extra memorable. Some of my favorite dishes (pictures don't do it justice): Eggplant Parmesan, Nona’s Favorite, Lobster Ravioli, And don’t leave without trying their homemade tiramisu — it’s truly to die for! Oh, and the house bread with dipping oil? My husband and I literally fight over it — it’s that good. We’re proud to be lifelong customers. If you're looking for the best Italian food around, this is it. Highly, highly recommend!!!

5 stars (I’d give it 10 out of 5 if I could!) Nona’s Italian Grill is hands-down the best Italian spot in The Woodlands and surrounding areas—I’ve tried several, and nothing comes close to this level of perfection. We started with their bread and that insanely delicious dipping sauce—seriously, the most amazing one I’ve ever had. It’s rich, garlicky, herby, and addictive; we could’ve just eaten bread and sauce all night and been happy! Then came the main event: Nona’s Favorite chicken with fettuccine. This dish is straight-up top 10 I’ve ever eaten in my life. The chicken is perfectly sautéed, tender, and flavorful with artichokes, mushrooms, and that bright lemon-white wine sauce, all tossed with creamy fettuccine Alfredo. Every bite was pure bliss—balanced, comforting, and elevated without being fussy. I was speechless (which is rare for me at dinner!). Shoutout to our server David—he gave us excellent, attentive service from start to finish. Friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel special. If you’re in The Woodlands (or willing to drive a bit), do yourself a favor and go to Nona’s. Authentic, hearty Italian done right. We’ll be back again and again. Highly recommend—5 stars isn’t enough! Tammy from Houston area

We had a good dinner here. Our waitress was great, checking on us regularly. Would come again.

Juan was our server, very knowledgeable of the menu. He recommended the lobster ravioli and it was amazing. My wife was on the mood for just spaghetti and meatballs, the meatballs very tender. Service and food were amazing. Definitely coming back.

The food was delicious! Had the beef stuffed ravioli and the chicken Parmesan. Also the drinks were amazing. We had some old fashions and whiskey sours. The service was great as well. New fave Italian place!

My family and I ate at Nona's for the first time the day after Thanksgiving, and we enjoyed every bite and every minute! We had spent the holiday out of town and came back home to an empty fridge and we were too tired (lazy) to grocery shop or cook. We were in the mood for Italian food and this restaurant came up as something new we could try, and it turned out to be a post-Thanksgiving heaven-sent finding on google! From the atmosphere the moment we walked into Nona's, hearing the soft and lovely tune of a piano being played, to the lighting that set the most charming and cozy ambiance on that cold night, to the super friendly staff (Juan was our waiter and another young man also assisted us at times), to the drinks (I had two blueberry mules that were truly exquisite), and yes, to the food. The bread and oil concoction are still being talked about in my home (we're kicking ourselves for forgetting to buy a bottle of the oil). My kids are kids so they ordered basic pastas that they both thoroughly enjoyed, but my husband's chicken parm was PHENOMENAL (I know some might not be wow'd by chicken parm but trust me, not every restaurant can make one *this* good). My beef ravis in a pesto sauce were to die for. Finally, we shared a delicious Greek salad and an order of calamari that I initially didn't want, because I have never enjoyed how heavily breaded and fried it is at literally every other restaurant. It was perfection at Nona's! Even our daughter enjoyed it. We capped dinner off with a chocolate cake slice and a slice of key lime pie. The only advice I could even give Nona's is that the key lime could be more tart, but we still gobbled that down just as every other thing we ordered. Long review, but the short of it is 5 stars all the way and we are already planning to go back this weekend. After 7 years, we finally found our favorite Italian spot.

Our first time here. Excellent service and food. Some of the best italian food in the area. The escargot was some of the best we've ever had. We ordered from the lunch menu. Hubby had spaghetti and meatballs. I chose lasagna. Both were excellent! We both chose soup of the day to go with the lunch special. It was minestrone and very tasty! We also loved the bread and oil. We will definitely be back!

Walk in to a mellow atmosphere and greeted at the front. Sit down to a nicely set table, wine glasses etc. Service is prompt and the food speaks for itself. Flavor is there with every bite.
