    This was my second visit to Nostrana and both times I was blown away by the food, service, and decor--all are outstanding. I love that I can tell that the quality of each single ingredient used in their dishes is top tier. My cocktail was beautiful and not overly sweet or watered down. The burrata in the starter was by far the best I've ever had, the berries were fresh and sweet, and the entire dish was perfectly seasoned. The trout was perfectly cooked, well seasoned and delicious. My cappuccino was delicious and the perfect way to end the meal. Service was noticeably fast and our server (Sydney?) was friendly and able to answer all of our questions. The prices are definitely worth it for a special occasion. I can't wait to come back!
