  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Charming
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.

    We dined as a family to remember my wife who the kids called Nona! We were married 50 years. This was the 2nd anniversary of her death. It was a great meal and evening! The free shots were great. See you next year!

    It’s a good value for Italian fare. It’s not fancy but still quite tasty. They do run out of desserts even mid week. Get there early. The only down side is the noise level. It’s quite high with hard surfaces everywhere.

    Went back for the polenta and bolognese appetizer because it was sooo good when I went there 3 years ago, but it is no longer on the menu. The foccacia wasn't as good as I remembered. Now shaped as a pizza pie and not the loaf version. Despite those disappointments the meals were tasty. Not cheap, but those folks in the kitchen know what they are doing!
