Nonna Cosentino's Trattoria, Geneva

5Stars? i don t think so,maybe awhile ago but not now.Just stopped on way to Niagra with friends on a recommendation from a local hotel.Soon as we walked in we were overwhelmed by the smell of bad seafood.And it was all downhill from there.My friend couldn t find any salads on the menu but Antpasto so she asked and was bought out a plate unwashed iceberg lettuce with a couple ice cold left over chicken breasts.The chicken was at least a couple days old and had a slimy coating on it.My husband ordered Linguni diablo and all you could taste was garlic and cheap oil.I ordered Eggplant parm as was brought out unskinned over cooked parm that was heated in a microwave.Wine list is okay there are many local wines but the price is high considering these are all cheaper local wines that sell for 1 /10th the price anywhere else.The bread was the only food edible that was brought to our table.Service was very good so the 20% tip was only for the server.Do yourself a favor and avoid this place find a local pizza joint and you will do a lot better.The managment really should pay attention to what is leaving the kitchen because i cannot see any restaurant manager letting any of those dishes leave the kitchen.I usually never write about anything but this was so bad i felt compelled to pass on the info so no one else has to suffer such a bad meal.The best part ofthe evening was leaving to get away from the smell and the miserable meal.

Service was great. Food was good , but portion size could have been larger for the money.

Wonderful food from the menu at lunch time. Our Retirement Ladies Group meet monthly for lunch. This was a favorite. Everyone's lunch looked great..all were happy with it. Certainly will go again.

We arrived very late, 9:30. Therefore, we were seated and served very quickly. Our server was very good. Overall feeling of the restaurant based on atmostphere, menu, and quality of the food: Corporate. Wine list was okay. Appetizers: Calamari - loved the fact that the marinara-ish sauce was chunky and had peppers in it but by partner did not because you couldn't really dip the calamari in it. The sauce had to be picked up and placed on top of the calamari like a topping instead of a sauce. The calamari itself was cut into rather large rings which wasn't my favorite. I like it cut into smaller rings because it was so big the breading didn't stay on very when dipping in the sauce. The balance between breading and calamari was not right. However, I would order it again. Shrimp Cocktail: Very well priced at $1.99 each piece. Huge shrimp, cooked perfectly... did not at all like the cocktail sauce slopped on top of some kale in a tall cup. It was virtually impossible to dip the shrimp and come out with sauce on them because there was hardly no sauce in the cup and what was there was coating a piece of kale. Dipping worked well when I asked for a side of cocktail sauce. Clams Casino: Delicious flavor. Flavor was exactly what I expect when I order clams casino. However - never thought I'd say this - there was too much casino in proportion to the clams. It was like a mountain of casino, so much that I couldn't easily find the clam. Prime Rib: Down right disgusted. When I order a prime rib I expect it to look like it was sliced off of a roast, meaning I expect the slices to be very pink inside because I order it mid rare. Mine was completely brown. It must have been sliced and then obviously cooked because the outside was brown like a steak and it continued to cook on the plate going from barely pink in the middle to very brown within moments of arriving at the table. I imagine it was microwaved. I was disgusted. I asked for a replacement. The waitress supposed the kitchen staff was in a hurry to leave and that was the excuse for the lousy rib. I asked that a mid rare piece be cut and served right out of the fridge if need be because I don't like my rib microwaved or boiled. She came back with a perfect piece of rib albeit with no garnish and no au jus because she had to get a manager to cut it right out of the walk in. The new piece was not completely warm but warm enough to thrill me after the awful rib I was originally served. I was much, much happier. Partner had a ravioli special. He was a chef at Pasta Nostra in Conneticut where they serve pasta made on premises. As a result, he was extremely disappointed in the round frozen pasta covered in more chunky sauce and smothered in mozzarella. His review was that he would not order the ravioli again. The atmosphere was okay. Too bright for dinner for my liking. So far, our opinion in general would be that wine and appetizers on their patio would make a delightful evening.

The food at Nonna's is fantastic. The chicken cordon bleu & crab cakes are my favorite. Our favorite waitress is Nicole- she is always so nice & provides excellent service. They're always very accommodating to my young children, which is important to me when choosing a restaurant. My only complaint about the restaurant itself is that for being one of the "nicer" places in town, I'd expect that they didn't have stained ceiling tiles. Other than that, a cute place with fab food.

We were delighted with our trip to Geneva. On 7-11-09 we had dinner at Nonna's. The place is very charming and the food excellent. We sat in the outside patio and were served by Dottie. The service was excellent.

Great food and a great family atmosphere. They offer a great lunch buffet and have reasonable prices. Same family also owns Uncle Joe's, if you are looking for a more casual experience.

We dined at Nonna's after a day trip in the Finger Lakes region. The food was reasonably good but the service was outstandingly bad. After a fairly short wait in the bar, we were seated and were ignored by the waitstaff for about 20 minutes before flagging someone down to request service. Service alternated between inattentive and intrusive, with the waitress at one point offering to clear the table while my dining companion still had knife and fork in hand. The evening culminated in a waitress other than our own slapping the bill on the table without comment or explanation.

In November 2007, my wife and I ended up getting a room at the Hampton Inn in Geneva. We were hungry and asked the desk clerk for a dinner recommendation: she enthusiastically recommended Nonna's, which is within easy walking distance. It was a Sunday night, and we were seated immediately. The service was outstanding, and the meals incredible. We liked one of the local wines (Fox Run "Sable") so much that we visited the winery the next day and took 3 bottles home! We plan to visit Nonna's again on our trip back to Detroit from Cape Cod in a few weeks - it was THAT good!

We are planning on moving to Geneva this year. Somebody suggested we to Nonna's. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it. In fact, we are driving the 45 miles to go back tomorrow for mother's day!
