  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Charming
  • Great for outdoor dining
Many restaurants in Little Italy have become destinations, among them the Busalacchi family's Nonna. The rustic décor features a relaxed country-style feel throughout the restaurant, including the delightful patio. The wonderfully welcoming atmosphere celebrates yet another delicious Sicilian food lineup, including pizzas and all that you would expect from an authentic Italian menu. The terrific entrées show the Sicilian influence, and fill the restaurant with great aromas.

We would love to hear your feedback on your experience.

    Great experience overall! We had reservations & were sat immediately. We’re lucky to find street parking too. (No charge at the meters on Sundays!) ordered the chicken parm & a shrimp dish. Both delicious. They even brought a lovely piece of cheesecake for my daughter’s birthday.

    Nonna’s outside patio is adorable and a bit more intimate and cozy then the open dining room. Luca and staff gave us excellent service. The food was well prepared and the overall experience was great for our date night with friends.

    Our service was fantastic. Food was fine. Probably being picky but don’t call it short rib and serve braised chuck. I also have a peeve about being served dinner when we just started appetizers.

    Food was flavorful and cooked to perfection! Proportions were good, didn’t leave hungry but wasn’t over stuffed . I would return often if parking wasn’t so bad.

    Food was very good but the exceptional service is what really stood. Of course the waiter having been born and raised within an hour or two of my family home town is Sicily made it very special

    Our first time in Little Italy…I’m not much a pasta eater but the seafood lasagna was amazing. The food & drinks ( I had an Italian soda) were yummy. The only issue I had was where we were seated. Table was tiny and located in a spot where my husband kept getting bumped into. I felt bad for him and I think that’s why he didn’t get to enjoy his food….

    Very disappointed in our New Year’s Eve experience. Would not recommend. Staff kept turning off our heat lamp because they were more concerned with leaving quickly than a good guest experience. We weren’t even finished with our bottle of wine and felt pushed out. I wish I had never made the reservation and will not be going back.
