It is our 25th anniversary and our staff welcomes you to a unique dining experience, creating a festive but subtle ambience. During your meal you will catch a glimpse of chef Giovanni who will gladly exchange a few words and make sure that everything is to your taste. It is clearly our hospitality which encourages the development of this fine cuisine that we are proud to call Natalino.
With our lifetime culinary experience, Natalino has earned an endless reputation consisting of great food, surroundings and staff. We are always striving to conquer every goal we encounter, treating our customers like family.
Natalino comes across in reviews as a consistently loved Italian spot with excellent food, attentive service, and a warm, European-inspired ambiance. Diners praise a broad menu featuring pasta favorites, seafood linguini, shrimp Alfredo, veal, ravioli, calamari, and reliable desserts like tiramisu and affogato, as well as solid bruschetta and a good wine list; drinks such as a spicy margarita and strawberry daiquiri get mentions too. The staff are described as polite, friendly, and accommodating, with many noting that service is quick and professional, though a few visits report slower pacing on busier evenings or special events. The terrace and waterfront location add to a charming atmosphere, and most guests consider pricing reasonable for the quality, with several describing returns and recommending to friends. A few reviewers mention that the place can be noisy at times, and one or two dishes were noted as merely good rather than exceptional, but the overall tone remains highly positive with multiple guests calling Natalino a go-to for meals, family outings, or special occasions.
Recently met another couple, good friends of ours there for dinner. Food was good & service was excellent. This is a well managed, experienced, family run restaurant & it shows in the care & attention we recieved. One of our group wasn't fond of his (own) meal choice & the waiter, maitre d went well out of thier way, above & beyond to make it up to our whole table ( not needed) we were so impressed definitely will be returning- Thanks so much guys
Great local eatery with authentic Italian food, great service & wonderful ambiance. If you're driving by the waterfront & are in the mood for authentic Italian food you need to stop & try Natalino's... 10/10 would recommend
I was at the restaurant on a Sunday from 11:30 until 3:30 for a private party, & the main floor was a comfortable size for about 75 people.
There was a set menu where you chose your main course. The food was adequate to good depending on what you ordered. The veal with mushrooms was delicious.
The service was beyond excellent.
It was a perfect venue for a very enjoyable afternoon.
Original review June 2021:
We started off on the beautiful covered terasse, but it started raining very hard so we moved to a table inside. So, very nice & comfortable either inside or out.
The food was not the best Italian we have had, but it was good, & nicely presented.
The service was phenomenal. Courteous & ever present without being intrusive.
Super pretty restaurant with delicious fresh food! The vibes of restaurant are very comforting & the service was fast & very nice. The building was made in the 1880s but has been updated to have the right mix of modern & historical. Apparently it's been open under the same person for 40 years! The veal was delicious & they brought out bruschetta as an appetizer for free which was very tasty. The drinks were tasty as well, the strawberry daiquiri & sangria were just the right level of sweet! If you're around this area & are looking for an authentic Italian experience then I would definitely recommend here!

Went to this restaurant with a large group for an event. We were seated upstairs in a private space away from the restaurant downstairs. We had a choice of 3 different meals, steak, salmon or chicken. I had the chicken parmigiana & it was delicious. Everyone really enjoyed their meal. Service was great.
Amazing staff & excellent dinner. Salads & appetizers are very good. went for an Anniversary dinner & couldn't have been happier. the upstairs had an event so parking was a bit tricky, but there is parking across the street. Will definitely go back! Atmosphere only 4 stars as it was a little loud the night we went, but that can happen anywhere depending on who else is there.

My linguini Vongole was excellent! I also had the minestrone which lack a bit of tomato punch & salt but plenty of vegetable perfectly cooked. A little bit on the pricy side but service was excellent. Overall a good experience.
Bravo Restaurante Natalino! 5 stars!
We celebrated a birthday here & the experience was absolutely beyond expectations! From the moment we arrived, Mathew & the team went above & beyond to make everything special. The service was warm, attentive, & genuinely welcoming. & the food-wow! Every dish was beautifully presented & bursting with authentic Italian flavor. You can tell there's real passion in the kitchen. This place is a gem, & I highly recommend it to anyone looking for amazing food & outstanding service. Thank you again to Mathew & the team for making it a night to remember & hospitality as if you were inviting us to your home. We highly recommend Natalino for special occasions!

I ate outside on the terrace & it was a bit chilly, but that was only a minor drawback. I enjoy the crab antipasti & the strawberry daiquiri. Lovely place with a great atmosphere for families definitely.
