I got the arancini and chicken parm here and they were both delicious. Generous portion sizes, the pasta with the chicken parm was enough for 2. I do like my espresso martinis a little creamier but the other drinks on the menu looked good. Service was fast as well!

Amazing little restaurant close to the theaters. Delicious food the grilled steak and the clams casino over pasta was amazing. Topped off with a delicious hazelnut cannoli. Can’t wait to go back and try the red sauce.

I travel for work, on the road sometimes weeks at a time. When I say that this was the best spaghetti and meatballs I’ve ever had I mean it. Several states, cities, and countless Italian spots. Little nonnas takes the cake. On top of that the garlic bread and tiramisu are heavenly. Whether you are a Philly native or just traveling in for a visit. I beg that you give this a try, you will not regret it. Unfortunately the photos will not do it justice.

My husband and I threw a 40 person dinner party in their back court yard on 11/1 to celebrate our elopement in Italy with friends and family. Little Nonna’s did Ana amazing job from start to finish. They had the most helpful staff, the best bar tenders, and the best food that everyone loved. We felt like everything was perfectly taken care of and no matter what we asked of them, they always saw it through. I can’t thank the staff enough and Maggie the event coordinator who was there to answer my questions every step of the way. We had a blast and want to do it all over again. They did amazing!!!

I love this little Italian restaurant so much! My husband and I came for a first night in Philadelphia dinner and it did not disappoint. We loved the dim lighting with candle lit tables and the food was fantastic. Everything we ordered was incredible. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful and you could tell the ingredients were super high quality. We will definitely recommend this restaurant to anybody who wants delicious food with great service.

My daughter and I loved dining at Little Nonna’s! The food was delicious, especially the tiramisu, but our server made the experience more than worth it. I wish I had gotten her name but she helped with suggestions to order and took care to check on us and others frequently. Thank you for making our first Philadelphia experience so memorable.

The menu is limited for a place that has great reviews. The clams casino was very salty and the spaghetti and meatballs was fairly good. I wish them well but won’t be back.

Good service but mediocre food. Similar to basic diner fare but at a higher cost.
vodka pasta was flavorless, just tasted like cream not even garlic tomato or anything, ceasar salad dressing was absolutely disgusting. I LOVE an anchovy-forward ceasar dressing, I use a ton of anchovy paste when I make it at home, this was not that! this tasted like rotten fish! like truly nauseating. never ordering from here again.

Little Nonna's delivers a consistently excellent comfort meal. The food is soooo good! Their Sunday Gravy is the absolute star, but every dish is well developed and delicious, down to the garlic bread and olives.

I grew up in North Carolina, a transplant from Bala Cynwyd at the age of four, and its always been a point of contention with me that Northerners always complain about how terrible the Italian food in Charlotte is. With that in mind, if they're all basing their complaints on places like Little Nonna's? I can completely understand what they mean.
Nonna's is absolutely wonderful! This is the place you want to take a date to if your trying to create a romantic, secluded vibe. The food is absolutely divine; with your first whiff of what's cooking you know you've really found something special. Do yourself a favour and get the garlic bread entree; when they bring out that toasted garlic clove and you spread it on that warm fresh baked bread, you might pass out from ecstasy.
The craft cocktails are oustanding; their Sazerac is the best I've had this side of Tujuages in New Orleans, and they invented it. Look, I could go on and on, but trust me, it will just keep you from getting to Little Nonna's faster. Do yourself a favour and go, you will not be sorry!

Very rude managerial staff and made it a point to not be welcoming. A friend had too many drinks and it was time to go at close and a manager was being absolutely rude and making snide comments as we were walking out the door. It would be one thing if things were disruptive but he simply was getting tired and ready to go and as we were walking out he made rude comments about how he “shouldn’t do that”, after they’d just served our drinks and paid. What happened to common courtesy. All the while there are mice running hand over fist across our feet. The server was nice at the very least, but it surely wasn’t a welcoming atmosphere
