About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
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.

    Nice rustic Italian restaurant. Entrees were tasty but small in size for the price and what’s considered Momma’s-Style cooking. Canoli and fruit tart for desert were the standouts. Excellent cappuccino as well. Would make a trip back for desert and coffee but probably skip on dinner next time.

    We enjoyed our meal very much. All five of us ordered a different dish and they were all delicious! We can’t wait to return.

    Simply the best Italian food in San Diego. Nonna serves up authentic Sicilian recipes in an inviting atmosphere. And kudos to our waiter, Peter, for making us feel welcome!

    Very enjoyable dinner. The Caprese was adorned with a beautiful aged balsamic; sweet and thick. Wife had rigatoni which they fixed gluten free and cooked soft since my wife has difficulty chewing. I had the gamberi busalacchi which is shrimp with garlic and mushrooms in a white wine lemon caper sauce. To die for. First waiter went off shift and replaced with another waitress. Both were very attentive and accomodating for my wife’s special needs. Wonderful evening.
