Hello everyone! Before I say anything its nice to meet you all! Just like the name says, I am the Nadia of Nadia's Trattoria. I am also the chef. I've been perusing these boards every couple of months and decided it was time to come and introduce myself!

I do appreciate your comments good and bad. I am also more than willing to hear your comments or suggestions at my e-mail address ChefNadia@aol.com
Although please be forewarned, I will not tolerate rudeness. I realize this post is a little out dated but I see some things that I feel are worth addressing. Furthermore a few misconceptions....

First of all, I can assure you I am very Italian

My father was born in the heart of Rome and I have visited there many times. We are not all Irish, whomever told you that is incorrect.

Second, Lillith is correct, we do not serve pasta with red sauce. Nadia's specializes and takes pride in serving authentic Italian cuisine. Nowhere in Italy do you find pepperoni pizza, mozzarella sticks, stuffed shells, or any of cuisine around here that is reffered to as "Italian". Like Pepper said, this is not Americanized food. Like Lillith said, its a unique style. Not everyone is going to appreciate it, and I understand that completely.

One of my biggest problems is--when people come in and order things that are not on the menu to begin with, and then complain about them. I usually don't have a problem with catering to whatever the customer requests, but I'm not so eager to take it back if they don't like it. My motto is, you create it, you buy it.

I have no problem with critisizm, but in order to be fair, I need you to judge on food that I serve--items that are listed on the menu. I do not have time to hear complaints about things that I don't even serve.

Furthermore, the manager your speaking of has been in this business for more than 20 years. I have a difficult time believing that A.) He reacted that way for no good reason, B.) He did nothing to remedy the situation. Charlie T, I see you have posted some other negative things about Nadia's in different threads, and I am very interested in hearing your story. Like I said, I encourage you to e-mail me at ChefNadia@aol.com so I can hear the entire story from your side.

If anyone else wishes to e-mail me, please feel free to do so. If there's anything I can do to make Nadia's more than it already is, I will do it by all means. Although I do need to know the details...what you had, what wasn't right about it, etc.

As far as the parking lot remark, our parking lot has a LOT of spaces. If that parking lot is full, know that we are packed to the maximum capacity. You may be driving by while we are closed, which is on Monday's and Tuesday's until we begin our summer schedule. Please take into consideration that we also do not open till 4 p.m.

Our staff is excellent--we are very lucky to have them. Our facility is immaculate, you could eat off the floor, and I would join you! Our food is fresh, and prepared to order, so yes, you will wait a little longer than your average place, but its worth it. We have a variety of choices, from clams to homemade meatballs, authentic pasta dishes, and nightly specials. We also have low-carb selections such as steak, and steamed haddock.

We feature imported Italian desserts and some homemade as well. I encourage you all to come and give me a try if you haven't! Give me a wave and let me know your here, our kitchen is open, you will surely see me fussing around in there!!

Our Hours Are:
Monday- Closed
Tuesday- Closed
Wednesday- 4:00-9:00
Thursday- 4:00-9:00
Friday- 4:00-10:00
Saturday-4:00-10:00
Sunday-4:00-9:00

Our Telephone Number is: 603-524-8688

We do not have a children's menu, but we will cater to them as needed.
We have a full bar, a smoking section, and a lounge.
We do not accept reservations, but if you have a large party feel free to call us 15 or 20 minutes before your arrival, and we will set aside any available table for a few minutes.
If you have any special function or event you'd like to have Nadia's cater to, please call us!!

I encourage you to e-mail me, as I don't have an awful lot of time to post on here. I do check my e-mail daily, and if you have any questions please feel free to ask. Without customers Nadia's wouldn't exist.

Our web-site is under construction right now, but when it is complete I will be sure to post the link here!

Thank you!

Nadia Corrado
