MCR from Boston, MA, says:
I would hate to describe this restaurant as Italian because it is truly not just another Italian restaurant. I have eaten in all the bigwig restaurants from north of Boston to the South End, and I have yet to see any of those chefs cook as clean and flavorful as Della Nonna. There is no salt and pepper on the table and nor does there need to be here. They do not finish anything in butter there, for the food there does not taste like all of the restaurants in the city. I am sick of tasting butter in my soup, apps, pasta, and in all of the entree sauces, not to mention my dessert. I don't know what they do to make it so good but I find myself comparing their food to wherever I am and I still say Della Nonna is way above the rest. Their cooking technique is so simple that you would think it is complicated. Service is very friendly, they are not stuck on themselves and snobby like the city restaurants and to me that is more relaxing. It is so clean you could eat off the floor or even in the restrooms. I was asking some of the locals that I see there all the time why they are not packed from open to close and they say because they tell no one so when they come they can get a seat. Sounds a bit selfish to keep such a gem to themselves. I have talked to the chef and he say he is looking for a spot in the city, because that is where he grew up. Mansfield will only accept familiar ingredients and he wants to explode with many new ideas and he can do that in the city. All I have to say is that all you other foodies are missing out on a great thing!
