Le Nonne: Logan

As you know, I am attempting to go to every single restaurant in Logan. One of the first places I was suggested to eat at in Logan is a little Italian restaurant called Le Nonne. It is located in a small house on 129 North and 100 East.


I went to Le Nonne with two girls on my team, Ashlyn and Molli. We were the only ones in the restaurant at the time. Le Nonne is a little on the expensive side, especially for a college student, so we decided to go for lunch when it is only about $8 a plate instead of $15. Even though it was lunch, the portions were still huge! Here we are :) 

First they brought us out bread with balsamic vinegar and oil. The bread was good, but it wasn't anything spectacular. Macaroni Grill and Cheesecake Factory bread are still at the top of my list. 


The service was really fast; before we could finish the bread, the food was already out. 


Spaghettini Del Ortolano ($8.45):
  Menu description: 'From the garden' this Tuscan version of primavera, uses Jullian-style carrots and celery, zucchini, yellow squash, mushrooms and onions that are sauteed with white wine and then added to our homemade tomato sauce. 

I am not a huge pasta fan (except mac and cheese) but this was the best angel hair pasta I have ever had. The vegetables were soft and perfectly seasoned and the noodles weren't soaked in tomato sauce like some dishes are at other restaurants. I am a big eater and probably only ate about a quarter of the plate. But don't worry, I took the rest home and finished it in the course of two other meals. I actually forgot my leftovers at the restaurant and went all the way back to get them because it was THAT good. 

Paillard Di Pollo ($8.25):

Menu Description: This simple style of pounded chicken breast is grilled and seasoned with fresh rosemary. This is a flavorful, low calorie dish. 

Molli ordered the Chicken and Alfredo. In the menu description it says "pounded chicken" and let me tell you, they did a wonderful job at pounding that chicken. It was the flattest piece of chicken I have ever seen. I didn't try the dish because I do NOT like Alfredo, I am not a very picky person, but Alfredo is one of the foods I will not eat. However, Molli said she thought it was really good. The chicken was really flavorful and the pasta didn't have too much sauce on it. The only downside was that, as you can see in the picture, the entire bottom of the plate was filled with oil.. that was a little unappetizing. 

Pennete Al Pomodoro ($7.45):

 Menu Description: This quick and simple dish of pennette pasta is sauteed in our homemade tomato, basil, and garlic sauce. This sauce is found throughout Italy.

Ashlyn ordered the penne pasta with tomato sauce and fresh parmesan on top. I caught her right as she was about to take the first bite so I could take a picture :) I didn't try her meal either, but she said it was really good. There wasn't a ton of sauce on her dish either, but she said it was still very flavorful. I haven't tried any of the other dishes, but i'm guessing the "less is more" theme as far as sauce goes, is how most of the dishes at this restaurant are. 

Overall, the service was okay for being the only people in the restaurant. However, they were putting up shelves in the kitchen while we were there, which may have been the reason the waiter didn't come around very often. The environment is awesome though. I love how the restaurant is in a house. It has a fancy, homey feel to it. I would definitely return to Le Nonne and definetely recommend it to those who love Italian food. I have never had anyone talk bad about this restaurant. I have never been to Italy, but I have talked to people who have, and they said Le Nonne tastes like authentic Italian food, which is hard to find in Logan, Utah.
