What people say, in short
Nostrana is repeatedly recommended for Italian dining, with praise for its pizza, wine list and atmosphere. One diner likes the counter and bar, and another suggests it for a pasta date while advising a reservation. Happy hour has its own supporters. Other diners report uneven meals, less generous portions or pasta that did not justify the cost, so enthusiasm for the setting and menu is not universal.
