Nocciola - OJAI

Some of the best thin crust pizza I've ever tasted. The appetizers and main courses all have very authentic flavors and textures. Can be a bit loud when packed but that's more a personal taste.

GOOD taste vibe BAD service I don't know whether it's Nocciola style or not, but they put knife n fork roughly. Even he put my pasta down with the sound of plate. I didn't expect this kind of service from this beautiful restaurant. The last moment of visiting Ojai was not that cheerful with Nocciola.

Quick Summary Cool ambiance with the patio seating, especially in the back when you have the backdrop of the Ojai sunset. Food was decent (the highlights were the olive oil and the lamb carpaccio). Plenty of street parking available Food- 4 stars Food was decent but isn't worth going out of your way for Bread with olive oil- the olive oil was very solid and hearty. Really enjoyed it Lamb carpaccio- this was pretty good as well. The only downside is that it wasn't evenly salted (some portions were much more salted than others) Lamb shank- this was good, but the sauce was slightly too sweet. Pork chop- a bit disappointed by the pork chop. Overcooked and way too lean. Not the most enjoyable experience Service- 4 stars Pretty standard, although we did wait a pretty long time between our appetizers and entrees Parking- plenty of street parking Bottom Line Cool ambiance if you're around the Ojai area. Really wished I tried the pasta or ravioli dishes, because was disappointed by the entrees.

Loved this place for its ambiance, good food, and attentive staff. They built a covered patio during COVID for outdoor dining. The patio is divided into 4 sections, separated by wood railings and, thus, so are most of the tables. There were plenty of tempting offerings in its menu, but we ordered the specials, lobster ravioli with a delicate curry sauce and snapper on a bed of spinach and mushrooms. Both were well prepared and large portions.

This is a fabulous restaurant! Great service, beautiful setting and truly good food?absolutely no complaints. Cauliflower lobster bisque was outstanding, Rigatoni with sausage ragu also outstanding?the steak was unreal! cooked perfectly medium rare charred exactly as ordered?truly tasted amazing. served with a must try mustard sauce. Spinach and potatoes perfection. I can?t wait to go back!
