Our server was nice and knowledgeable about their extensive wine menu. This is great for high end dining. The food was so fresh and made perfect, i had the chicken marsala and i would definitely have it again. As a person who loves wine, the wine flight is perfect to try 3 wines to see what you like.

I am SO GLAD I tried this place. I mean, WOW. First, it's not just a restaurant. There is a beautiful lower level with stone arches and a huge wine cellar that would be perfect for a wedding reception. Clearly it's an Italian place and the food was very good. The portions were small admittedly - in fact, when trying to decide between two options, both servers that I asked said to get the parmigiana because it came with a side of pasta. Admittedly it is pricey for the portion, and I settled on the chicken Piccata (they brought out veal instead of chicken) however it was delicious. Our server was friendly and I was satisfied with the speed of the service, but there were a couple blips such as the wrong food order, throwing away leftovers that we wanted boxed up and lacking some wine knowledge. We loved the veal meatballs appetizers, the ricotta on top of the pomodoro was a delish touch! And the ham and mozzarella appetizer was a bit deceiving as we thought this would be fried and warm in the center like a traditional mozzarella stick, but instead was more like a chunk of cheese wrapped in ham (I believe). Still very tasty and a beautiful presentation. I'm not sure if it's in my budget for every day dining but I would certainly come back for a special occasion!

We made reservations at Notos for my in-laws 50th anniversary. Our table was ready at 6 o'clock and we only had a short wait to be seated. I was a little disappointed that we were given a table in the center of the restaurant when there were plenty of cozier tables available, but oh well not a big deal. The interior is pleasant enough clean, if a little sterile looking Looks like a very typical banquet hall with a few plants and Italian esque features. That night there seemed to be two groups enjoying themselves. Students going to homecoming dressed in their sparkly, finest and older crowds like ours probably celebrating some milestone or family event. part of the reason I chose Notos was because I correctly anticipated. It would be a safe dining choice for my decidedly, non-adventurous-eating in-laws, as well as the fact that my husband's family is Italian. to start we ordered the meatballs and mushrooms on polenta polenta which we're just OK. the meatballs we're good, but were extremely small, especially considering it was $16 for four of them and they were tiny not much larger than perhaps a walnut. And for entrées, we had the walleye, the rigatoni the chicken Alfredo on special and the veal. It came out and it seems that the general consensus was that it was OK not mind blowing not awful just OK my veal initially was extremely overcooked and here I have to give them huge points for being very attentive and correcting it immediately the manager came over apologized, and had the chef remake the dish which upon, presenting second time it was much much better, but again not a lot of food for the hefty price tag that accompanied it. I would also like to add that it is impossible to get good photos in the dining room. I take hundreds of photos of food year and it is so dark that there's a reason why most of the photos look like rubbish you'll notice our dessert photos are much better because they were taken to go and photographed later under actual light. The entire experience was made better by the exceptional service. The host, our server and the manager that we interacted with were all incredibly kind, attentive and accommodating and it's for this reason that I'm rounding my review up to four stars. Because based on food alone, I would say probably it's a weak three. if you're looking for a non-adventurous, expensive "fancy" place to go this would probably be it. The total for two (tiny) appetizers, four entrées, three glasses of wine and three desserts was well over what we could've paid and had much better food somewhere else and despite the fact that I had noted it in the reservation mentioned it to the host and manager my in-laws got no recognition for their 50th anniversary which I thought odd. Most restaurants will usually at least comp out a piece of dessert for special occasions. At the end of the night we spent more than we wanted to, but my in-laws seemed happy enough, and while I would not choose to return, I can say they do their best to make sure you are satisfied.

Very nice restaurant to go to... I think especially for a special occasion or a date night! My family and I went there for an early dinner, and it was lovely because we were one of the only tables there. So, it was quiet and relaxing. All of our food was delicious, and there were no complaints about any of the food or how it tasted. The dessert options were especially great... as there were a lot of desserts to choose from. Everything that we tried was delightful... and everything that we didn't try sounded delightful! My only constructive criticism were these things... -For grating cheese at the table, I think a new cheese grater needs to be invested in. The one they currently use literally sprays pieces of cheese everywhere... including all over your lap. -Our waiter messed up my husband's order, and didn't bring him one of his side dishes. But other than these small things... I would totally recommend this restaurant!
