Got a peek at a menu. Eggplant parm is $20; add another $5 if you want a side salad with it.

Bit of a splurge for us.

Since nobody answered our questions, we HAD to drive to Wolfeboro tonight and try a dinner. The place wasn't busy at all, and the owner and wait staff were very pleasant and helpful. We each had a veal dish...extremely good @$18. They expect to have their liquor license soon. We will definitely return, and during the week is a good bet if you want to avoid crowds. By the way, they are open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner.

Yes, you kind of usually think Italian would be a bit less than other food, but maybe that's not true anymore. I guess it's because pasta is so cheap and it's generally the base of Italian. Maybe I am wrong.

My wife and I had lunch at Nolans yesterday. They didn't have any Pasta dishes available for lunch, so I had the Chicken Parm sandwich and my wife had the Chicken Salad wrap. Both our meals were great and the service was very good.

To update my previous post: We had an occasion to celebrate over the weekend, so we decided to check out Nolans for dinner. I was happy to see that either they tweaked some of the prices, or the original menu I obtained when they first opened had a misprint. Eggplant parm was $15, not $20. (although it's more if you add veal or chicken). Eggplant was cooked to perfection - crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. Delicious sauce, but possibly a bit salty for some folks' taste?? The portion was huge and came with a side of pasta/sauce, enough for 2 hearty appetites. Salads were nicely presented, fresh, & generous portions for a "side" salad. Pizza is the same thin crust as the old location next to Bailey's Bubble. The crust was a little burned on the edge of one side, but otherwise it was very good. (It must be difficult to cook pizza evenly in a wood-fired oven). The place was hopping, and they had only 2 waitress to cover all the tables. The bartender was doing his best to help take orders and get food out, but they could have used more hands on deck. There were lots of interesting things on the menu, so we'll have to go back and try some of them.

They must have tweaked some of the prices, beaner, because what you saw was what my daughter paid. And it also sounds like they are a little more generous with their servings than they first were. That's great. I think it will make the difference for them, especially in the winter. Good for them!! I wish them every success there!

Went to Nolan's last night as it was an hour wait on Saturday night. Still had to wait a little as they were full, a waitress came over and said she had to clean a table and be right with us. When we sat down she took our drink order and brought them back quickly. We were ready to order , my friend had eggplant and chicken parmesan , I said I wish I could get Lasagna and our waitress told us it was a special last night and she would check for me if there was any left, sure enough there was and it was GREAT ! Waitress was very friendly and asked her name and it was Tizzy !! Great addition but only 2 waitress on for a full restaurant doesn't work, you at least need a hostess that can also clean tables. Love the place, the help and best of luck, we will be back !!!
