While we had a great evening and the food was good, I was disappointed that the price on the online menu was substantially lower than the price at the restaurant! Our service was great and the food good; but the bill significantly higher than I anticipated!
Hi Jon, thank you so much for your feedback and for bringing the outdated menu to our attention. We’re really glad to hear that you had a great evening and enjoyed both the food and service. We sincerely apologise for the confusion regarding the pricing, our new menu has now been updated online to reflect current pricing. We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you back again soon.
Warm regards,
The Nolio Team
Best Italian food and excellent service.
We had dinner at this restaurant on our last night in PE/Gqeberha and all I can say is WOW! Incredible, tasty food, excellent service, great wine selection, and wonderful ambience. I wish we had this restaurant in JHB!
