Nona Bistro

This place is a hidden gem in the up and coming 9th south corridor that connects 9th east to state st. Nona's sits off the street in a converted garage in the back of a brick bungalow. It's charming, has a fun garden vibe meets modern bar.
Service is attentive but not annoying. Great recommendations and guidance on the menu.
The food was fantastic. All of it!
We had the focaccia bread, charred cabbage, kale caesar salad with chicken, lasagna, rib eye steak with chimichurri with smashed potatoes.
I would come back for all of it.
The rib eye steak and potatoes were so good.
Kale salad I could every day.
Charred cabbage was so delightful - you must order it.
Focaccia tasted like it came out of a wood roasted pizza oven- delicious!
Lasagna was good but honestly not my favorite. It was their spin on the classic and a bit soupy the night we had it.
Chocolate chip cookie skillet was okay for a couple of bites of something sweet but I wouldn't order it again.

Can't wait to come back again, especially for bunch!

This place was a hit or miss for us...

Let me set the scene: 8:00 pm, party of 3, semi hungry.

We ordered off the appetizers menu for a more "tapas style" dinner. They brought & charged us for more than we ordered. It would've been okay if the plate was tasty... but the tinned fish was DEFINITELY a miss, for $20 it was bland and just pulled out of a box. (It literally was).

Another miss for us was the $25 large charcuterie board! It was a small selection of two thin slices of cheese and store bought crackers... the presentation was okay but had more "fillers" than cheese, meat and cracker... it would have also been nice to have a condiment with it.

Now let's talk about the hits!

The charred cabbage is TO DIE FOR. Absolutely delish and is a must order. This was recommended by a friend and it lived up to the hype. It had a wonderful sauce on top and bottom, they paired perfectly with the cabbage!

The shishito peppers were tasty and acidic! They were nicely charred but could use a lil dip or aioli (I'm a sauce girl)

The potatoes were nicely seasoned and had bits of Parmesan grated over it. They were perfectly crispy!


The green beans were good but nothing to write home about!

The focaccia was mmhm mmhm mmhm! They were nice and pillowy. It came out warm which was extra nice!

The restaurant itself is petite but very cute for a nice girls night or date night!! Our waitress was prompt but a little bit... new? She was super nice but neglected to inform us of the tinned fish dish, maybe it was a special she forgot about! 8/10 for her service :)

YUM. Nona is a must-try when in Salt Lake City.

Just across the street from Loki Coffee, Nona is in a garage just behind a brown brick house. They have heaters going to keep you warm and the space is very inviting.

Our server was very warm and welcoming and got us started with drinks and menus right away. I chose the breakfast sandwich and it was delicious! I've tried many breakfast sandwiches and I liked that Nona's added a unique twist to theirs with the prosciutto.

Prices are very fair. I overall had a lovely experience. I can't wait to visit when patio season is back and experience Nona outside!

Sooo we made a reservation here. If you no-show they charge you $25/person. We reserved in the garage but I don't think that matters cause we sat on the patio. We never had our sodas refilled. Maybe they only do one time fill? We didn't have the energy to ask. I like that the menu is small other than they were out of some of the items. They ran out of meat lasagna and salmon. That really limited your choices. Everyone was really nice and the atmosphere is special!

Great friendly staff and love the atmosphere! Ordered the Caesar salad which is large enough to share. For my entrée ordered the meat lasagna. The flavor was amazing and loved the crispy edges. It was on the soupy side but because the flavor was wonderful, I didn't mind. Can't wait to go back again!

It was like walking into a secret garden. The food was delicious and the service impeccable. I can't wait to return to this hidden gem.

Food - absolutely amazing. Options for appetizers, small plates, and big plates. We got the charcuterie board and the cheese was absolutely fantastic. Our big plates were the chicken piccata and the ribeye, honestly could not tell you which one we loved more! The chicken piccata was perfectly breaded with the best garnish of herbs and capers. Ribeye was cooked to perfection and whatever oil they lined the plate with was heavenly. The chimichurri was amazing as well.

Service - very quick! The charcuterie board was served about 4 minutes after ordering and our mains came out about 10 minutes later.

Ambiance - you won't find better. It's dreamy. Romantic. Private. Literally feels like an Italian garden (although I've never been in one). It can be very warm during the summer but if you reserve early enough you can get covered seating!

Me and my wife wanted to get a delicious meal one night. We wanted to Nona thinking that it would be a beautiful place to get nice bite to eat we were mistaken. We sat down to a table that did not even have a menu. We had no water or a menu. We were simply just looking at the table. We almost fell asleep. We had to ask for a menu and the waiter was just a straight asshole. He was laughing. He was playing games on his iPad . He had no idea what he was doing. we will not be returning for a zero star service.

I went here all the time last summer and it was amazing! The past few times I've came it has been god awful. One time it took over two hours for our appetizer to come out and another time they delivered our whole tables worth of food to the table next to us and then wouldn't give us new plates of our food. Another time I ordered the chicken and it was seriously an edible. They refuse to give me a refund or remake my chicken. Absolutely horrible customer service. One time I was seated for over an hour and just had to ask for water and plates to begin with. I will not be returning sadly.

Feels like a secret Hideaway, We loved the food and intimate ambiance.
It's a modern rustic decor.
Perfect for a romantic date night .
It is located behind a house on 900s .
It's definitely a hidden gem
They have a unique menu that changes periodically I believe. They have many small plates and shareables .

We started with a few appetizers. The shishito , sweet potato , and cabbage . They were all excellent.

We had the Ribeye with chimichurri on top & Organic chicken shawarma plate . The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly.

That homemade skillet chocolate chip cookie for dessert is a must try . We loved it . We enjoyed some wine by the fire after dinner . It was lovely. I can't wait to come back when it warms up a little bit.
