We've been going to Nana Carmela's every since we discovered Monroes best kept secret three years ago! If you are looking for a place to relax and enjoy that true Italian atmosphere, this is the place! If you're there to get a meal and get out, find somewhere else. Jim is an amazing chef and takes his time to prepare each and every meal ...

Really love the food here - never a bad meal. Service is pretty poor though- ridiculously slow the last three times we ate there- we keep giving them another try. Always busy, you will need a reservation. Cost is reasonable for the quality of food.

I grew up in an Italian home with an Italian mother & grandmother who both cooked exceptional Italian dishes. However, I have to say, that Nana's has them both beat with the best authentic Italian food I have ever eaten. I am now spoiled and dissatisfied with every other Italian restaurant that I have eaten at since my first visit to ...

Having lived in Monroe for about 16 years I can actually say that this is one of the first really nice places to eat. There is class, ambiance, service and value that is off the charts. Whether it is a date, an anniversary or just wanting to take friends and family to a wonderful place this is it. It will impress. We went on a summer evening. ...

The food tastes wonderful, the portions are humongous, the owner and the servers are very personable.
The night starts as you arrive - the hostess serves you a glass of red wine, and you wait to be seated, maybe getting a refill... While you are waiting, the owner/chef says hello to you in between flashes of fire searing the food as he sautes ...

This restaurant is the best. the chef, Jim, is a total sweatheart and really knows how to make everyone in the place feel special. the food is outstanding, the only place to go to celebrae a special occasion or just to have a wonderful dinning experience.
