Nonna's in Wijk 04 Heijen

I see many negative reviews, but that really didn't apply to us. We were received very kindly, and the pizzas were delicious too. We go to a pizzeria regularly, so we have quite high standards, and they were absolutely met here. Nonna herself is also a great guy. It's also nice for the children, who immediately receive a coloring page and are escorted to the table by Nonna.

The food is not particularly good and the price is far too high for what is offered.

We ate here recently and ordered two pizzas: a quattro stagioni and a tonno. When the pizzas arrived at the table, I thought: okay, this looks pretty good. Unfortunately, the taste was a huge disappointment. The quattro stagioni had plenty of toppings, but absolutely zero flavor. Definitely not worth the money. The tonno was perhaps even more disappointing: it seemed like a can of cheap tuna had just been thrown on top, and the taste was… well, bleh. Again, absolutely no value for money. I only looked at the reviews afterwards — I wish I had done that sooner. Apparently, this is not an exception, because you read exactly the same stories about the other eateries on the park. The service was good, but the kitchen could use some training in making pizzas with flavor or other food.

The many negative reviews initially put me off. Lacking any convincing alternatives, we decided to go to Di Nonna with the family and correspondingly low expectations. I'm torn between three and four stars. After our visit, I certainly can't understand the one- or two-star ratings. At the entrance, a video plays showing the Italian "Nonna" preparing the food. I was genuinely surprised when she actually greeted us personally later. Despite watching closely, I couldn't figure out until the very end whether she was really Italian or if they had simply taught a friendly Dutch grandmother from the next village a few Italian phrases. It was entertaining, in any case. The restaurant itself is decorated in an Italian style with lots of papier-mâché and plastic – pure theme park romance with plenty of kitsch. The food was generally quite good. The antipasti tower and the Caprese salad were excellent. Unfortunately, instead of the ordered pepperoni pizza, we were served the version with a meat substitute, which was inedible for our taste. The pizza itself was otherwise decent, but nothing extraordinary. The steak was decent, but the pasta served with it—as mentioned in other reviews—wasn't really up to the standards of an Italian restaurant. The desserts were also rather unremarkable. The chocolate sphere, which is topped with hot chocolate at the table, is a nice visual touch, but not particularly noteworthy in terms of taste. All in all, not a culinary highlight, but also not nearly as bad as many reviews suggest. If you adjust your expectations to those of an Italian-themed theme park restaurant, you can certainly have a pleasant family evening here.

I ate here on Friday, August 21st. The price-quality ratio is nowhere to be found. As is generally the case at this Heijdebos park, the catering establishments (ALBRON) charge steep prices; too expensive for what you get in terms of quality and service level. Nonna's shows absolutely nothing regarding good Italian food. Add to that low-level service and a very fake Italian atmosphere, and you are better off staying away. I do want to be positive about Ron, the shift leader. This man tries very hard to make the best of it, especially regarding friendliness, customer-oriented thinking, and acting. Compliments! Unfortunately, this is not enough to give the overall experience a positive review. There are better restaurants in the area, even just across the German border!

Very disappointing. €48.50 for 1 pizza, 1 pasta, and 2 soft drinks, but the quality was really poor. The carbonara was hard/undercooked, the sauce tasted ready-made, and you could barely taste the Parmesan cheese. There were two slices of bacon on top. The pizza was burnt and incredibly sloppily topped, with a few cubes of ham piled on top of each other. Even when we pointed out that the pasta was undercooked, they barely listened. Looking at the earlier reviews, this seems to have been a problem for quite some time. For this price, you really expect much better at Center Parcs. Very unfortunate, and for us, certainly a reason to skip the dining spots at Heijderbos in the future.

Pizzas are tasty. Just ignore the negative reviews, people shouldn't complain so much :') You are at Center Parcs, not a gourmet restaurant or hotel.

When you read the menu, there is so much that is unclear. Half of it is vegetarian and the choice is limited. When you finally get something to eat, it is tasteless, and I hope you aren't thirsty because they don't come around again after the first round. On the pizza, the topping is thrown in a heap, and the pasta lacks the slightest flavor. This cannot be called Italian food; I have eaten many microwave meals with more flavor. Stay away from here!

The restaurant actually deserves 4 stars, but I'm giving it 3 because items mentioned in the order weren't delivered but were still on the bill. Otherwise, we had various dishes like lasagna and salami pizza, which were very tasty. The restaurant is a bit pricey, but that's to be expected at Center Parcs.

The food was pathetic. Someone at our table wanted the cannelloni, to which the waiter replied that it was not recommended. Pasta al salmone was okay, but the rest was disappointing. The veggie spaghetti tasted like wet cardboard had been mixed into the sauce. The service is a mess. There is too little experienced staff for a full restaurant. Some tables had to wait a very long time to order, for their food, or to pay. There were people who came in 20 minutes late with a larger group and multiple dishes, yet were still out faster than a couple of two.

The food here is truly terrible. The pizza was absolutely inedible, with really gross cheese on it and the dough... indescribable... it was that gross. Service was impeccable and the atmosphere is okay. But you pay so much for disgusting food. I never post reviews, but this was so bad that I’d rather warn others. Charging so much money for gross food, bizarre! Everything we ordered was dog food, honestly.

Ate here this week. It is not the staff or the atmosphere that is the problem. You can't even call the chicken shawarma pizza a shawarma pizza. No taste and sparsely topped. The salami pizza smelled musty. Feeled nauseous in the evening, accompanied by a fun night of stomach cramps.

We arrived at 7:00 PM; the food was on the table within 5 minutes of ordering and was certainly quite good. After dinner, we were waiting for the wait staff to come by, but every attempt to get their attention failed (we tried for at least 15 minutes), so we decided to just pay and leave without dessert.

The pizzas were delicious but the service is so bad, we were the first and the service went to others who were supposed to help us after us.

We are at Heijderbos for a few days, just like during every May holiday, and once again we had a delicious meal at Nonna's. Nonna herself is a sweetheart, and even though something didn't quite work out with the reservation, we were still allowed to take a seat. The staff are very friendly and the food was delicious. See you next time 👋🏼

The food is expensive but delicious. However, I find the 80-minute wait too long, even for prime time, especially since it's almost exclusively families with small children. Ultimately, that's unacceptable in such a setting.

We were going to have some nice pizza, but it was very disappointing. The children received two cremated pizzas, which we sent back immediately. Then, after about 15 minutes, two children were given pizzas that were barely cooked... well, that's unusual. The toppings on my pizza were very sparse, even though I had to pay an extra 4.95 for them. You expect something tasty then... but unfortunately, it was very disappointing.

The pizzas are not tasty! Cheap tomato sauce is used. The pizzas are small for the price you pay. It is scandalous that they are absolutely not worth €20.

Horrible old woman as a host. She is so rude that she told us not to enter her restaurant and wait outside for ten minutes before she could attend us. I was with my two young daughters and I felt she doesn't understand hospitality. Dirty looking aswel. Save your money...don't come here!

The service was very friendly and helpful, but the prices are incredibly high and the quality is terrible. The burnt bits on the pizza had more flavor than the pizza itself. The pizza literally fell apart; I wouldn't recommend it at all.

The food was tasteless. The price-quality ratio is nowhere near the same. I had four-cheese pasta with tomatoes and received one tomato as decoration....

The service itself was friendly. The wait time was over an hour. The soup was okay. The pizzas were actually below what you'd expect. With a considerable wait, it doesn't feel very advisable to have food changed. The children's pizzas were okay, though.

Kids we're famished after a whole day, but it took a whole hour for a very small appetizer. Even longer for the pizza's. Do not recommend. Food wasn't even that great for that price

What a complete disgrace. The pizza was cold, tough, and so poorly topped that even a frozen pizza would be embarrassed. The lasagna was absolutely ridiculous: hard chunks of puff pastry. Absolutely disgusting and completely incomprehensible. All of this for an absurdly high price. This isn't food; this is a money-grabbing scam. Never again. Save yourself the frustration and definitely don't eat here. We had two pizzas and one lasagna and were charged €60. We threw everything away and heated up some soup.

The pizza looked good, but tasted like nothing. The prices were outrageously expensive. The staff was okay.

The waiter was very nice and polite, as was the staff in general, but the food was a disaster, especially for the price. A lasagna cost €20 and it was barely 2x2 cm. Best to avoid!

The lasagna wasn't particularly tasty and, for almost €20, very small. The pizzas were okay, but very poor value for money. The service was quite good.

Be careful! We got food poisoning after eating the pizzas! The ordeal began exactly four hours later, and our vacation was ruined!

We were there and were greeted by a quirky nonna. Two pizzas and the cannelloni arrived very quickly, a little too quickly. A well-prepared chain restaurant, but unfortunately, the food suffers and isn't worth the price.

Delicious pizza, nice waitresses, delicious ice cream

Disappointing. Pizza: 30cm thin crust with almost no toppings. Paid almost 40 euros for two meager pizzas. I should have paid an extra 5 euros for 6 chicken breasts and 5 jalapeño slices. My advice: go get something in town.

By far the worst Italian restaurant I've ever visited in my 40 years of living. Center Park would do well to finally work on the quality of its restaurants.

Cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and excellent food—the best Italian restaurant we've ever eaten at. Also a delicious, tender steak.

Exceeded expectations, very good!!! We had a delicious meal, and the staff were very friendly.

The best pizza and lasagna I've ever eaten in the Netherlands

We, three adults and a two-year-old girl, thoroughly enjoyed delicious pizzas and the very friendly and attentive staff. They were very helpful, the food was ready quickly, and we had a great time! Highly recommended!

2 pizzas for €43, limited to a child's size... Not at all the size of a regular pizza. Excessively priced and ridiculously small.

Good atmosphere, but I've rarely eaten such a good-looking yet tasteless pizza. No spices, let alone herbs, in the pizza sauce. It was crispy. The appetizer stack (2 people = €32) was good, but there was far too little bread for the amount of toppings. They could have added another €8. Oh well. We won't go there again.

Very expensive for very mediocre food.

The pizzas were good and filling. In other words, the size was right. No frozen food. The only thing was the price...but you know that beforehand. So I can't understand some of the reviews!

I ordered spaghetti carbonara — they brought it quickly, but it was a huge portion of undercooked imitation spaghetti. It seemed like the pasta had been reused and reheated. Eating it was disgusting. My wife ordered pasta with fish. As a result, she got food poisoning the next day.

We had the salami pizza and the magherita pizza, both of which were delicious. The waitress was friendly and the food came very quickly. Unfortunately, the ambiance isn't that nice; it's dated and very dark.

The lasagne was great with decent service. The rest of my group had pizzas and pastas which they said were also good

Tried the pizza here and honestly... it just didn’t do it for me. The crust was okay — not bad, not great, just kind of there. But the biggest issue? There was no sauce. Like, zero. It made the whole thing feel dry and kind of empty. Honestly pretty good atmosphere and service thats about it honestly.

I think I had the best pizza I've ever had tonight! The atmosphere is great and the staff are clearly eager to make an effort.

I will definitely not come back here. It was not bad but certainly not good, very expensive for what you get. 20€ for an ordinary spaghetti, 19€ for a pizza? Crazy. We are not in Venice, are we?

We got three pizzas – 2 salami, 1 Quattro Stagioni. The taste was okay, but the quality was rather standard. What surprised us: over €56 for three fairly small pizzas with simple ingredients. Other guests mentioned a family deal (2 large + 2 small for €43) – but it wasn't advertised anywhere. The price would have been perfectly reasonable. So the impression remains: solid pizza, but not fair value. Even in touristy places in Italy, you'll pay less.

We ate there twice out of our five-night stay and took food with us once. It was incredibly delicious and everyone was super friendly.

That 2.9 is old hat. Some time ago they made huge improvements to the quality. Homemade pasta and pizza bases. You get a big portion of pasta that is cooked perfectly with a delicious sauce. They are generous with the amount and very polite. Was a great experience! Thanks to the chef and the service (really super nice!!)

The takeaway pizzas. For the price you can expect something. The bottom: great! The topping; fine The ingredients: very little. Four slices of salami on a pizza for more than 18 euros? That's economical. The taste is good, pizza very dry and, especially for the money, too sparsely topped. Staff very nice and service fast. Great for a holiday park.

Nonna's food came from the supermarket. Nothing was home made. The server admitted as much. In addition, very high prices. We really got scammed.

Insufficient price/performance ratio

After 10 minutes in line outside the store to be taken to the seat (reserved) and 25 more minutes without being served, left the store.

We liked it. Pizza was good, kids Mac and cheese was very flavorful. Service was fast, attentive, and nice. Atmosphere is super cute with the decor. Food was definitely over priced, but we're in a resort so what can you expect..? Can't understand the reviews, this is a great little place.

We think this is a wonderful way to end a day at Center Parcs.

Very tasty meal. Carpaccio was very tasty. The main courses were also very tasty and well seasoned. Will come by with parmesan cheese to top it off. Staff very friendly!

Food was ok... but we all got the wrong food twice.... They also didn't care about the desire to leave out the capers. The people sitting next to us at the table didn't want any capers either and they were forced to put them under the tuna. The soup that was given back was simply dumped back into the large soup pot. A disgrace for the money!!!

Service very nice, Bread with herb butter delicious Pizzas and pasta are simply disgusting! You can also get cheap salami that tastes like that and at that price too? We didn't eat... I've never eaten so badly!!!! There were 8 of us and no one liked it

For a Centerparcs it is a tasty Italian, homemade dough. Quite pricey. But good to eat. Nonna really cares about her business! Tip: the backrest of the chair was no longer properly screwed down.

Delicious pizzas, super friendly staff Very pricey

Great place, bold and witty service. Food as expected in such an establishment.

The hostess was very nice, arranged a table even though we had not made a reservation. The tagliatelle was not really cooked the first time. The second time it did, but it tasted like almost nothing. Barely any sauce in it. And that for almost 20 euros. The pizzas were very average. Pizzas tonno and pizza shawarma and pizza salami because we ran out of pepperoni. It was not distributed properly. It was full on the left, barely anything on the right... the tomato sauce tasted like tomato puree. The soil was tasty and so was the wine. But there was hardly any toppings on the pizzas and not really mmm The prize is really the main prize. Conclusion: not much good

Opening: from 5pm . With many compliments to the manager Rob and his staff. . Very pleasant / homely / professional welcome and guided to the table. . We regularly came to ask about the choice of our order, and it was no problem at all to come and take notes later. . Wide choice of drinks and food. . Tasty starter: neat and fresh . Pizzas; Touring pitches created (visible open kitchen) . Generous portions . Pleasant atmosphere . Very friendly service . Location within the Dome

We were initially put off by the reviews, but still wanted to give the restaurant a chance. Fortunately! We were pleasantly surprised. Yes, the prices are rather high, but that's just the CP level and the prices in Holland are a little higher than in Germany anyway. We took the family offer for €43 with a choice of 2 large pizzas and 2 children's pizzas. We found the price more than okay. The pizzas look great and we liked them so much that we ate at Nonnas again at the end of our vacation :) Would definitely recommend it!

Good food and good service and nice atmosphere, it was a bit overpriced but otherwise it was good

Expensive restaurant in Centerparcs, interior gives you a feeling of a pancake house. Fast operation. Price-quality ratio is not correct. Well priced. A freshly warm roll from the oven is missing. A glass of wine is served just below the minimum volume. It's disappointing. Fortunately, there were 2 of us, so the bill wasn't too high. The food was of good temperature, but just a little lacking in taste. This also applies to the herb butter as a starter. It's all a bit lame. Maybe because there are many families eating with children?

Service was good, staff was very friendly. But the reviews don't lie. Pizza was really not tasty and you also get the aftermath of not being able to leave the toilet all day. Don't come here!

The shocker comes at the end!! As in previous years, the food was rather passable. Everything is too expensive, but you can't expect anything else at Center Parc. The pizzas taste okay, but the pasta doesn't taste like anything. There are pictures for children to color and the service is very friendly. Unfortunately, after quite some time and demand, the drinks took a long time to arrive and the worst for last: A mouse (!!!!) was crawling from one side to the other on the air conditioning under the roof; this could be observed from several tables. Hygienically an absolute no go! It's better to cook in the bungalow at Center Parc or be prepared for expensive disappointment.

Great staff without compromise, but the food is okay. It has nothing to do with pizza and the pasta was past the Italian cuisine. The prices, however, are twice as high as in Italy. It's a shame but that wasn't more than grade 4

I ordered pasta. It seems like very little but is very filling. A bit low source and a bit expensive but overall pretty good. Nice service.

All the staff were friendly, and the food was excellent. Would definitely recommend getting a reservation beforehand.

Don't eat here! Reviews are very justified. There is no atmosphere, the staff is more concerned with each other and the food is not tasty. Our daughter loves pizza but she too has given up eating it.

Saw all the reviews and was surprised couldn't imagine it would be that bad. But unfortunately that was the food. Pizzas have almost no tomato sauce on them. Cheese tastes weird. Garlic sauce from the shawarma pizza tastes strange. Hostess Nonna was super friendly. Was very surprised that the food was not tasty. 4 drinks were deducted from the voucher as a compensation.

Way too expensive. Marharita €12; 4 cheese pizza 19€…

Margherita pizza was bad. Didn't taste any cheese, tomato sauce was sweet and tasted like applesauce. No service could speak German.

18 euros per pizza. Absurd for this dramatically bad pizza. Dry and boring in taste. Better order from the local dominos or New York pizza around the corner, you'll enjoy it more👍🏻

Went to Center Parcs for a wonderful midweek, where we were recommended to go to Nonna's. Ordered pasta carbonara. This was really completely tasteless. Staff did indicate that these were made without salt and pepper, but even then it doesn't get any better. Then got a salmon pizza. Unfortunately my tastes do not suit this restaurant. Next year I will be in Heijderbos, but not in this restaurant!

We waited 1 hour for 2 pizzas, which isn't really possible, especially if you don't want to wait in the warm restaurant

Contrary to other reviews, we had a delicious meal here several evenings! Nonna looks like she enjoys her work. The pizzas were very tasty, fresh and hot.

Everything was great, delicious dishes and very nice staff. Prices are a bit high, CenterParcs! We can recommend it as a family with a clear conscience.

Very friendly staff, fast service, delicious food. And comfortably furnished

Just returned from a midweek at Center Parcs. Had a delicious meal here two evenings, friendly staff, fast service, nice decoration in the restaurant, really great! Definitely recommended to eat if you are at Center Parcs!

Booked a midweek trip to Center Parcs with my girlfriend. And we had a wonderful meal here. The food is delicious and the service is very fast and very friendly. Really great, partly thanks to this restaurant, we will come back again.

Fantastic hostess, creates a lot of atmosphere! Quickly served and well thought out with the grabby hands of our 9 month old table companion. Food was fine, nothing special… but the experience was great!

In general, the price level of the restaurants at Center Parcs is now quite high. But a dinner at Nonna's is a great experience for the whole family that you will remember fondly even after your vacation and is therefore worth the money. The menu is what you would expect from an Italian eatery and offers delicious dishes for children and adults. The restaurant is lively and the children in particular get a lot of attention from Nonna and the service staff. We have visited there several times in the last few years, each time absolutely satisfied and look forward to coming back.

Worst pizza in a long time. Noisy and poor value for money. Not again

The reviews really don't lie. We had a pizza tonno and pizza pepporoni. The distribution of the ingredients proves difficult. The salami had too much cheese, the tuna was poorly distributed, making the pizza too greasy and too soft. Let's not get started on the price... find better staff!

My family and I walked in at 5:30pm to find a table. I kindly asked if we could have a table. The lady just laughed in my face. I have never quite felt so sad for humanity. What a strange culture that they think it’s ok to laugh at you when they cannot offer a service…. The Resturant was completely empty but they were „fully reserved“ weird 😐

Staff is anything but friendly. We had made a reservation and were assigned a table from the gate. “There” was our place. We then waited a long time until someone came to ask what we wanted to drink and to bring us the menu. Starter was on the table within 2 seconds, the soup came from a warming pan, like you see on a buffet, so that meant tapping it and putting it on the table... we then had to wait half an hour for the main course and the dessert was didn't come. We called several times and asked if they could take our empty plates and if we could immediately order a dessert, but after 45 minutes you're fed up with that. There was plenty of attention for tables with more than 2 people seated. We didn't feel welcome at all and got up and left Not normally expensive. (2x soup, 2x spaghetti, coke and a beer for €80) Glad we left without dessert! We don't come here anymore.

Ate at Nonna's 3 days ago. Nice reception. Didn't make a reservation but did their best to find a table. We were also very kindly helped to keep our impatient baby busy, for example, the waitress came with a baby book. Pizza was tasty and price-quality ratio was top. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, fortunately they are not put off by rude guests. We'll go back soon to see if they still have a table available. Greetings to the Star Laurel family

Wait, wait and wait again. Understaffed I suspect, although it could also be the staff who were basically just muddling about aimlessly like headless chickens. You almost had to explode a bomb next to Zen to get their attention. Bad actually. It's also time that they start asking when ordering drinks whether you want a large or small one. If you forget, you will find yourself with half a liter of coke in front of you. Pizzas were not too tasty but were extremely messy and made quickly. Everything is in a pile, toppings are irregularly distributed over the pizza. And the next night I was on the potty, stomach cramps until...

The food we had was ok 1x lasagne 1x carabonara 1x meat with ratatouille + 1x ice tea, 2x water and 1 non-alcoholic beer For 92€ The service was so-so, the girls never knew what to do with the food. What really bothered me/us was that THE COOK was sick and had nothing better to do than cough on almost every meal…. 😡 She was constantly making herself something to eat, licking her fingers and then using her fingers to place the arugula and the note with the order on the pizzas. She went into the kitchen twice to make tea with honey. I have nothing against it if you're sick, it happens, but if you're as sick as you are, then you should stay at home. I find this behavior extremely selfish, I'm sorry!!!! We don't go there anymore.

Worst meal we 15 people each had

Overpriced prices are disproportionate to what you get. Some of the food was of poor quality and the pizza was burnt. The only positive thing was the older service. Once and never again. Not recommendable

The portions are far too small for these prices. The children's pizzas were burnt. The cocktail tomatoes in the salad were very soft/mushy. Most of it has been repaired, but the sizes have not changed

Not necessarily recommended. Food is substandard. If you want a pleasant evening, I would personally look further.

There is no relationship between price and performance. 17€ for a pizza on 1mm thin dough that no one can eat is a disgrace. The taste is okay, the staff is super nice, but unfortunately that doesn't help with the quality either.

The atmosphere and quality of the food were decent, though of course pricing is quite high as is typical for resort establishments. Unfortunately we had to wait for nearly 1.5 hours before our main finally arrived, (we each ordered the salmon risotto, which is roughly 30 euros pp). Waitresses were friendly and service was not bad apart from the waiting time. Puzzled at what could have taken so long but nevertheless an unfortunate circumstance that put a significant damper on our evening.

Service top and friendly! Atmosphere cozy. Taste of all our food (there were 10 of us) was seriously substandard. No one liked it, barely any taste... Too bad... Oh yes, and the more expensive wine was also nice...

We were warmly welcomed by Nonna and the restaurant was much larger than expected. We didn't have to wait long and the food was delicious.
