La Nonna is incredibly cozy, incredibly affordable, and incredibly delicious. Our table of 2 split the Deluxe Parillada, and every item was perfectly cooked and well seasoned.
BYOB.
The staff is very accommodating and friendly.
If driving, there is non permit parking by the church across the street.

No no absolutely no. Customer was amazing but the food was horrible. I ordered the platter for two. The empanadas were the best I ever had. I should have stuck to that. Every portion of meat was over cooked. Terribly disappointed.

Empanada had a nice crust with a good filling. The sauce given on the side with the empanada was great. The milanese sandwich was a letdown, lacking flavor to the point that I was adding pepper and taking the sauce that came with the empanada to make it taste of something. Also, the fries just being boring McDonalds fries and ketchup just being in packets (no additional sauce came with the dish) is really dissatisfactory considering the price point.

The food is phenomenal, we ordered the milanesa and a french baguette both were huge specially the milanesa and the flavor was even bigger, nicely covered by cheese and a healthy amount of fries. I can't wait to come back and try something different although I might order the same as it was delicious. The ambient is very chill really nice clean restaurant with many different seating options, I like tall tables and they have a few but also regular tables and booths, I think they have an outdoor dining area but it wasn't open maybe it's by season or it was late... I'm any case awesome place to come a share a big meal with your friends, don't forget this is a BYOB place!

La Nonna is an absolute gem in Irving Park, offering an experience that feels both warm and memorable. From the moment you walk in, the staff greets you with genuine friendliness, making the service feel personal and inviting. The cozy atmosphere adds a comforting touch to the meal, creating the perfect setting to enjoy time with friends, family, or even solo.

The food is beyond delicious, and their empanadas are truly the standout—hands down some of the best you’ll find anywhere. Each bite is packed with authentic flavor, perfectly seasoned, and made with care. Combined with the welcoming atmosphere and attentive service, La Nonna is not just a restaurant but a wonderful neighborhood spot that keeps people coming back for more.
