This was our first time eating here. We didn't have to wait long to be seated or for our server to get our order. We ordered several things to share. The food came pretty quickly and was all very tasty.

Very prompt service and the waitress checked in with us throughout our meal. It was not crowded when we dinned, but the dinning room was very large. Good portion for the meal and the food was excellent.

We try to get here at least once per year. From the food to the atmosphere, this is a must-stop when visiting Mackinaw City. I didn't take any pics of my food because it smelled too good and I was hungry. Lots of animals around to see. Keep a close eye, you may miss one.

Odd decor for an Italian restaurant but perfect for a northern cozy cabin feel. Anyway, the food we got was really good but the deep fried bread stick that came with it was an odd choice. Kinda expensive but on par for a tourist area I guess. Was disappointed that for a $30 ea. meal there was no table bread or salad with the meal or fresh grated parmesan. Service was good, friendly, food came out quick, and everything was nice and clean. A pretty romantic experience as long as she don't mind mounted animals. Over all a good dinning experience with good food and service. Would absolutely come back here for dinner.

Nonna Lisa’s is a unique dining experience. We stopped by to get a bite to eat after a long day. It was a bit late when we got in. The staff was very nice and helpful. The wait for the food was minimal/appropriate for pizza. We really enjoyed the gluten-free pizza with sausage and spinach as well as a cheese pizza for our kids. There was also some interesting beverages. My wife enjoyed a cherry wine. As you can tell from some of the pictures, there’s quite the decorations… Animals, Christmas trees, Christmas, lights, etc.

Nice and big restaurant with plenty of parking. We were there with a group of 60 people and had a buffet set up. Everything was smooth and easy. Plenary of tables. Staff was friendly and place was clean. They have really nice interior decor.
