We were seated outside during Little Italy's mercato so it was noisier than usual but we loved it. The location is great and the food was not bad at all. My husband enjoyed his smoked salmon Benedict. The only thing we didn't like is the photographer coming around the tables and we kind of felt pressured to buy the pictures despite saying we don't want any. Otherwise, ambience was great.

Please do not come here. I was overcharged and have had to call them 4 times. I explained what happened to the manager and he said that my money would be refunded right away. My money hasn’t been refunded and every time I call the manager claims to be busy and tells me he will call me back but never does. I was here on my birthday and was looking forward to coming again but after this I will never be coming back.

This spot is definitely unique — the coffee shop is located right inside the restaurant, which confused me for a moment. There’s just one table specifically for the coffee shop, and the rest belong to the restaurant, but honestly that made the experience more interesting and memorable.
They have a huge variety of desserts. I picked one that wasn’t really my taste, but that was just my choice — not a reflection on them. The coffee, though, was excellent. I love Lavazza in general, and they prepared it perfectly.
Overall, I’m giving this place five stars for its uniqueness and great coffee. I’ll be back to try more.

Absolutely loved our server, Anna!!! In addition to loving our server, our food and dessert was amazing! Had the Bruschetta and Focaccia bread as an appetizer, indulged in the Gambari Fra Diavolo as my main dish, and topped our dinner off with a Pistachio Canoli and a Chocolate cream puff for dessert.

Visiting this family-owned gem for the first time with my family was an absolute delight, and I must say, it exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we walked in, the warm atmosphere and welcoming smiles from the staff made us feel right at home. The hospitality displayed by everyone, including what appeared to be the manager and our server, was truly commendable. It’s evident that they genuinely care about their guests, making the experience all the more enjoyable.
Now, let’s dive into the food, which is undoubtedly the star of the show. We started with two glasses of Chardonnay, although I can’t recall the specific labels, each sip was crisp and refreshing, perfectly complementing our meal. The cherry Italian soda, topped with whipped cream, was a delightful treat—sweet, fizzy, and a fun twist that my family loved.
For appetizers, we had calamari served with homemade marinara sauce. The calamari was perfectly cooked—crispy yet tender—with the marinara adding a rich, flavorful punch. Moving on to the main dishes, we indulged in ravioli fungi, lasagna, and meatballs, all paired with the same incredible marinara sauce. Each dish was packed with flavor and clearly prepared with love and attention to detail. The ravioli fungi was a standout for its earthy flavors and delicate texture, while the lasagna was layered to perfection, oozing with cheese and rich meat sauce. The meatballs were hearty and flavorful, making for a comforting classic.
We also shared a pepperoni pizza, which was simply divine. The crust was just the right amount of crispy, and the pepperoni was flavorful without overpowering the other ingredients. To finish off our meal, we enjoyed espresso coffee, which was strong and aromatic, and cannelloni for dessert, which was rich and satisfying. The meal was perfectly rounded off with two shots of Limoncello—refreshing and zesty, it was a lovely way to cleanse the palate.
Overall, I rarely give 5 out of 5 stars, but this place truly deserves it. The combination of outstanding service and remarkable flavors is something you have to experience for yourself. I wholeheartedly recommend visiting and supporting this beautiful establishment. Here’s to hoping they continue to thrive for many years to come!

Overall it was a great experience. We chose outside seating to enjoy the weather, but there was a lot more through traffic on the side walk than I expected. However, it was still great.

I just moved into the neighborhood in little Italy I decided to try all the restaurants and see what all hub bub was about. I have to say Nonna has really been a good experience. I sit at the bar. Have a beer and order and eat my meal there. The staff are professional and attentive. Great focaccia and Caesar salad. I will say though that the fried calamari was kinda rubbery beneath the crusty coating.
Excellent food. Everything on the menu. Drove from long beach hung out in little Italy. Hand plans to eat at a steak house. This was better and we experienced Great service.

Had an amazingly delicious spaghetti bolognese with meat balls, very nice, clean and reasonably priced restaurant.
