Oh hello! First timer here at Nunzi’s and was definitely a great time! The bar area was packed and the music was flowing. Definitely going to come back to partayyyyy! :) But tonight was all about the dining area to have some yummy dinner, as you see in one of the videos. Our waiter Catherine was super attentive and gave great recommendations.
For starters, it was the stuffed mushrooms (which was stuffed w/ shrimp & crabmeat topped w/ a butter garlic lemon sauce) and the shrimp cocktail (only 4 pieces).
Drink order:
•SMORES MARTINI- WHIPPED CREAM VODKA, CRÉME DE CACAO, IRISH CREAM & A TOASTED MARSHMALLOW
•FALL SANGRIA- RED WINE, GRAND MARINER APPLE CIDER, FRESH ORANGE, SODA
For dinner a shareable Chicken Parmesan ala Vodka and a french onion soup. Lastly, a shareable rainbow cake with a side of whipped cream.
Everything was unbelievable! Thank you for an amazing night!

I’ve been here a couple of times, nothing to write home about. Until the Sunday before Labor Day. As soon as we got there (around 11pm) we overhead last call for food so we were supposed to order in the next 20 minutes. Great! cause we were looking for a couple of snacks. We asked the bartender for food, she said kitchen is closed. We were like “you just said order in the next 20 minutes before kitchen closes” and then she was like you know what I wasn’t even supposed to work tonight. She seemed frustrated. At that point I got up cause we needed food and a drink. I’m not staying for just drinks. My boyfriend told her but you just said we got 20 min to order. She said something like “let me go ask the cook if he can miss his bus”. What??? We were shocked. Who says that kind of thing?
First of all telling me you shouldn’t even be working tonight? That’s none of my business and has nothing to do with what I’m asking. Second, we clearly heard you say that the kitchen is closing in 20 minutes. And third, why are you guilt tripping me about the cook missing his bus if he stays and makes some food for us.
Awful experience. That one bartender definitely doesn’t belong in this industry. Some of the others bartender there are great.
I ended up going to another place where they didn’t give me an attitude and actually want my business.
No wonder this bar is always empty.
