I started to walk around Little Italy looking for something to eat. A lot of the menus are basically the same but something about Nonna seemed comforting and it definitely was! The staff here is very kind. The interior is welcoming. But the food is just excellent! I would definitely recommend the bolognese! Worth a visit if you’re in the area.

This morning we visited Nonna restaurant.
We ordered two pasta dishes. I had a mimosa and an Americano with cream, and my boyfriend ordered a cappuccino.
I want to start with the coffee – it was genuinely very good. I truly enjoyed my Americano, and the cappuccino was also excellent. The coffee was definitely the highlight of our visit.
Unfortunately, I was disappointed by the presentation of the mimosa. The glass it was served in was covered in black lint particles – both inside and outside. It seemed like it had been wiped with a cloth that left visible fibers behind. It was unpleasant to receive a drink in that condition.
As for the food, the pasta was very oily. The oil was visibly pooling on top and gathering on the plate, which made the dishes feel heavy and unbalanced. The presentation overall could have been more refined and attentive to detail.
The server came across so strict in her tone that I didn’t feel comfortable asking additional questions. At one point, I felt more like I was in school than in a restaurant, which made the atmosphere less relaxed than expected.
It was interesting to get acquainted with this restaurant, but unfortunately, we do not plan to return.

Don’t be fooled by the other reviews. This place was “ok” at best. The Caesar salad was weirdly sweet. The pesto gnocchi has raw dry sun dried tomatoes on it. The food was bland and our waitress was boarder-line rude “why aren’t you ready to order yet?”….”I don’t understand why you haven’t picked yet”
Save your money and go somewhere else in little Italy

Wanted to check out this place so we had a reservation on Sunday evening. Lots of the 2 tops were busy so nice we had a reservation. We started off ordering the Focaccia Bread (Parmigiano Reggiano, garlic, herbs & extra virgin olive oil), Spinaci Insalate (Baby spinach, strawberries, goat cheese, toasted almonds & vinaigrette). Then for pasta we ordered Rigatoni Palermitana (Sausage, pomodoro, capers, olives, calabrian chili) and Pappardelle (Short rib, tomatoes, butter herb sauce and shaved parmigiano). I really liked the Rigatoni Palermitana, that is really recommended! The Focaccia Bread was ok.

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.

In the heart of Little Italy, right next to the overhead sign, you’ll find this beautiful restaurant. Great menu and dishes that are not overly complicated and feel like they were actually made by an Italian mom or grandma, hence the name Nonna! Mauricio, our waiter, was friendly and helpful in explaining and helping us choose and each dish was absolutely delicious. If you’re looking for a wonderful dessert to end on a high note, I suggest the Torta de la Nonna. You won’t be disappointed.
Highly recommended!

Ok so we came to SD for a quick getaway from LA. We saw so much in just 2 days. As a fellow Italian, Sicilian, I had to check out LITTLE ITALY. While there I saw a multitude of places to eat. NONNA’S caught my eye as ebay Italian boy or girl calls their grandma, nonna!
I did a quick online search and saw they had very good reviews and a Sicilian bakery and that was enough for me to stop by.
We ordered 2 spaghetti dishes. The Bolognes and their Pappardelle. Their Bolognese with meatballs was to die for. Delicious!! Their Pappardelle dish was ok. We were a bit let down. It lacked flavor and richness and felt like flat pasta with barely any sauce more like a thin watery gravy. The pasta portions are SLIGHTLY stingy, pasta is super cheap agghiunci n’àutru cucchiaru. I had soooo much sauce and meat left after I quickly finished all the pasta I wanted to order a side of plain pasta so I could enjoy the rest of the meat sauce.
They had a nice selection of Italian sodas and wines etc.
And then came time for DESSERT!! We tried some various ones. Be sure to order the desserts to go after you pay your dinner bill as they charge more to order at the table.
Ordered 2 of the 4 different cannoli. The Lemon and the plain. Both were good, the plain in my opion was better. Ordered the cartoccio and OMG!! Its an Italian donut stuffed with chocolate chip cannoli cream, delicious! Tried a slice of their cassata cake, which is a traditional Sicilian cake and that too was very good! Lastly I had their Sfogliatelle, which I normally love, but their was a bit hard chewy almost rubbery on the outside. Not sure if I just got a bad one, the inside tasted pretty good.
I only wish they had lobstertail with cannoli filling, its my absolute favorite pastery.
The service was excellent! Our waiter was a tall slim Patrick Dempsey looking AND sounding handsome fella. Very attentive and very personable.
If you go to San Diego and love real authentic Italian, Sicilian food, then you have to go here and you have to save room for dessert!!
I should be getting paid in cannolis for this review!!
