Best food and wonderful location

All of my wedding guests raved about the food from Noto's after the wedding. I heard "Best food ever" from a couple of different people. Noto's staff was very attentive from communication to cleanup. We knew going in that we could expected nothing less than than good food and beautiful venue from Noto's. They take a lot of pride in their work and customer's satisfaction. I couldn't have picked a better venue and caterer for my wedding.

Outstanding!

When Noto's tells you it stands for "Nothing Other Than Outstanding Service"... it's TRUE! Joann was so helpful throughout the planning of my daughter's reception and she had a very calming effect during a few "mother of the bride freakout" moments. The food was SO GOOD and there was plenty of it. Our friends and family are still talking about it! Joann and the staff were attentive to everyone's needs and we feel like we were well taken care of! I loved the "one stop shopping" concept where everything you need is available through the venue... food, dessert, coffee, bar, linens, decor... when you pair that with the beauty of the venue and the atmosphere they provide... perfection!

The Noto family took great care of us for the whole day. We did the ceremony and reception in the Wine Cellar and everything was perfect. The food, staff, and cake were amazing!
We totally recommend Noto's!

I had my wedding here and I cannot say enough about how great Noto's is. It's a beautiful venue and the staff is amazing to work with. Joann is the main wedding coordinator, but I also emailed a lot with Valentina. They were very good about getting back to me quickly and were so helpful with all the last minute details. Luckily, no one booked the venue the entire week before my wedding so we were able to start setting up the Thursday before the wedding (wedding was on Saturday). We were also able to take pictures on their grand staircase as well as in the wine cellar which was a nice touch. Last but definitely not least the food and cake were AMAZING! Every guest I talked to raved about how great everything tasted. I would 100% recommend this venue. Everything about it was incredible.

Noto's was an unbelievable experience! We had our rehearsal dinner and our wedding reception in the ballrooms. Joann Noto is super easy to work with, and was flexible with us throughout the entire process! The whole family truly cared about our big day. Valentina Noto saved the day! She was with us throughout the day and as soon as we needed something, she was right there with it. Immediately upon walking into the ballrooms we were awestruck. Even though we had seen the rooms before, that day they were truly breathtaking. We were instantly amazed, and felt so comfortable that we were in good hands! The Notos are incredible, and truly treat you like family!

I just had my ceremony and reception here on December 1st. The Notos family and their staff are all such amazing people and truly do all they can to make sure your special day is exactly how you want it to be! We hired Valentina as our wedding coordinator and she was incredibly helpful and so sweet. I highly recommend Noto’s to anyone looking for a place for either a wedding ceremony or a reception. Also their food is absolutely delicious!

Joann and her staff go above expectations for receptions. On the day of the reception you have one person assigned to your party to make sure guests needs are met so you don't have any worries. Food was fabulous! Chef Robert Hess from Hells Kitchen show, is one of their chefs. He created a special menu for us. Guests are still commenting how delicious it was!
This is the second family reception we have had at Noto's and we plan to use them for future entertaining! Noto's is a wonderful place!

Truly a wonderful place with delicious food! From the start, we felt welcome and like old friends with the Noto family. Joann is an absolute gift. From start to finish, she worked with me and made sure all of my questions were answered. Tony truly loves what he's built and it shows, from his tours of the restaurant to the way he brags about his staff. And we had the pleasure of working with Valentina too. She was so sweet and thoughtful, bringing up things that I hadn't considered, but that really made a difference. Hands down, Noto's is phenomenal. The space is gorgeous, and decorating the space is simple. The food will wow your guests. The staff is second to none.

I can't say enough about the high level of service and quality the Noto family provides! We held our wedding ceremony in the wine cellar (beautiful intimate space) and the reception upstairs. The facility is gorgeous. Joann and team were the utmost professionals and really took care of us throughout the entire planning process up to the end of our day. The food they prepare is phenomenal and the referrals they provided for other vendors were spot on what we were looking for. I would recommend anyone looking for a classy venue to call Notos! We will continue to dine there regular as well,
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I have attended many events at Notos's, either as a DJ or a guest. Noto's Old World Italian Dining is a beautiful facility, with a very large main ballroom on the lower level that can be sectioned off as necessary. There's another large room upstairs. Everything is very elegant. The Noto family prides themselves on attention to detail and making everything as perfect as possible. It's not many places where the OWNERS are working and seeing to it that everything is just right. And the food -- Noto's is out of this world. Highly recommended!
