Placed an order thru online service with Yelp. Said my order would be ready at 11:30-11:40. Drove 30 min to pickup. Place doesn't open until 12pm even though it shows open online. My order time changes to almost 1pm. Had to cancel read more

La Nonna - Hours - Argentine Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

$64.17 for 2 for Argentinian grilled meats with salads and empanadas are you kidding me? BTW it will feed 3 Asians. The empanadas alone is a small meal. I do suggest you get some starch with that. They serve you the meat as is. You get ribs, skirt steak, chorizo and chicken. You need to eat it while it's hot it's not as appetizing once it gets cold. Shirt steak was surprisingly soft. All were strongly seasoned- no complaints. The fries we had for starch were crispy freshly fried. The staff was super nice and patient with me and our large group of 10. The place is very local it's inside a residential area but parking this Saturday night was Not a problem. Best of all BYOB with no corking fees. I cannot say enough about our server - Thank You. read more

Cozy place and great food! Came here for a fellowship with some church brothers. Great place if you want some peace and quiet time to chill.

I'm an Argentinian immigrant and I love this place. It's a piece of home in Chicagoland. My favorite by far is the "Milanesa Napolitana", no matter if is chicken or beef, it's always perfect. And the fries on the side are always perfect. If that wasn't enough, the ambiance is always perfectly AC for the outside temperature and the service is great (every server can talk in both English and Spanish). I tried other Argentinian food places in Chicago, but La Nonna takes the crown for the one that tastes and feels more like home. read more

Outstanding veggie skillet topped off with a delicious cappuccino! The service was super pleasant and quick. We stopped in after Mass at St. Wenceslaus and will definitely make this our 'go to' place! Cheers to La Nonna!! read more

Food and service were amazing! The parrillada can feed over 2 people since there was so much bbq. Lomito especial was sooo yummy. I will definitely be back for this one. The dessert was tasty as well. This place is perfect for a date night or dinner with friends or family. read more

The food here is very delicious. The empanadas are good, with the chicken or the beef ones being highlights. Was not a big fan of the veggie one. Their salad with chicken was also delicious, the veggies tasted fresh and the chicken was blackened and delicious. The fried chicken sandwich was also very good. The service was good, although I felt bad for the server as he seemed to be only one there that night. The restaurant is on the smaller end but very cute on the insides they have a patio. The vibe is very casual. It is also BYOB. Overall definitely recommend this place. read more

A pleasant plans change!! Was originally going to meet friends at a different restaurant but due to poor time management we ended up here!! SUPER glad we did!! When I tell you that the chicken special is the BEST sandwich Ive had in a while I MEAN IT!!! I was blown away by the freshness, flavors and size!! I asked for French fries instead of breakfast potatoes, great choice! The chai latte was delicious! The place is small and cozy. Our server was amazing!! Can't wait to be back!!! Haven't been able to stop thinking about that sandwich!! read more

I was so excited to try this spot after all the reviews and ended up disappointed. I ordered pick-up via Grubhub. The food was ready as scheduled and that was probably the only thing that went well. I ordered a flan but they didn't have any so they offered to swap it out with any other dessert - there was dulce de leche coconut cake, tres leches, and tiramisu. I opted for the tres leches. For mains we ordered the milanesa napolitana and la tana pizza. The milanesa was overly salty and fries were hard and over fried. The only thing I enjoyed was the amount of cheese as a cheese lover, but cheese already has salt so I would have preferred if the steak was further salted. Fries were too crunchy. Milanesa is such an Argentine staple and it was so disappointing. The pizza crust was quite hard on the edges and I wanted a softer crust as well...wasn't cut well so we had to cut further. The center seemed quite thin and stuck to the pizza box when we tried to grab the pizza. The sundried tomatoes added a nice acidic contrast though. We also got sauteed veggies on the side - not bad but also salty. The tres leches was moist on one side and dry and hard on the other. It was also way too sweet and you could feel the sugar particles when eating the meringue on the outside - it should have been throughly incorporated. Maybe it was my mistake ordered tres leches from a non Mexican spot. I'm not sure if I would give this another try. read more

My boyfriend and I tried every empanada flavor and they were all very yummy! The sauce they give is also good

I like their empanadas and their steak sandwich is yummy. You can tell good ingredients are used. The coffee was okay.... It is sort of in a hidden intersection but kind of adds to the quaint feel of the place. read more

La Nonna - Argentine Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I'm kind of shocked I've never written a review for La Nonna. I mean I lived in the neighborhood for 4 years and went here a handful of times, but nothing is coming up in my list of reviews for here. Well let me just say it here, first and foremost, I think La Nonna is such a unique little lunch spot. The mix of Argentinian and Italian cuisine under one roof makes for some delicious comfort meals you just wanna share with some friends and chill for hours on end talking about nothing. Also not to mention, they make some amazing lattes in-house that you need to try. They have a separate breakfast and lunch menu that you can order from at different times. I believe after 10am their breakfast menu converts to their lunch hours. Even though I went during the lunch hours, I was able to order a hearty sausage skillet that was beautifully presented on an exclusive La Nonna cutting board. The restaurant was bustling for a Saturday afternoon, so it took about 5 mins to get a seat, but the service was always prompt. I love to keep La Nonna in my rotation of food stops to recommend to locals as I think it is a real special place to eat from in Chicago and I sincerely hope it stays in its lowkey area for a while. read more

La Nonna - Cinnamon roll!!! - Argentine Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Overview: this is the perfect, small, casual neighborhood joint for delish food. It's BYOB with no corking fee and we can't wait to come back. We got the chicken, beef and ham and cheese empanadas. The dough was delish, buttery and worth every bite! We always love ham and cheese and this one didn't disappoint with chopped up ham and creamy cheese. we also enjoyed the chicken empanada with the beef coming in last place. The beef was great but we felt the chicken was more flavorful than the beef. Then we shared a garden salad which was simple and full of toppings. Finally, we shared a plain chicken Milanese. It was pounded super thin, the breading was light and crispy and the fires were seasoned well. We can't wait to come back and try the chicken with more of the toppings offered. What a great surprise for a lovely Saturday date night! read more

What is wrong with me that I waited so long to finally try La Nonna?! Tucked just off the Addison exist of the highway, La Nonna is an excellent Argentinian/Italian spot serving delectable paninis, sandwiches, egg dishes, empanadas and more. We a veggie panini and the chicken pesto panini to go, one with a side salad and the other with seasoned potatoes. Pro Tip: No matter how healthy you want to try to eat, and I usually do, do not forego the potatoes! They're incredible, an elevated version of those vinegar fries you get on the Jersey boardwalk, seasoned to absolute perfection. The star of the show, the paninis, similarly impressed, delicious, fresh, and very well seasoned ingredients perfectly nestled between the oiled and pressed bread. Simply put, this was an excellent meal, one I can't wait to have again. Don't make the same mistake I did. Head to La Nonna ASAP! read more

What a delightful restaurant. Great atmosphere, broad menu, and terrific service. If you like ArgentinIan food, then you have to get here. The empanadas are as authentic as you'll find and the steak sandwich will leave you wondering why everyone doesn't put ham and egg on theirs. Save room for the crepe filled with dulce de leche Can't wait to go back. read more

The food portion was ample and hot. Also well packaged for pickup. I liked the service from the server when we came in as well.

came here for dinner and had an amazing experience. the food was delicious and the bathroom very clean, however the service was a bit slow.

I wanted to love it, but la nonna is a no-no for dinner. The meat was very greasy, The pizza bland, and the milanesa also greasy. The empanadas had great flavor, but the ground beef had some big pieces of fatty meat. I hope lunch is as good as the hype. read more

This place was so cute and food was delicious. I got the choripan for lunch and it was really great. Meat cooked perfectly, great flavors, smelled incredible. Fries were seasoned perfectly as well and very substantive. Topped off with an alfajores de maicena which was also nicely textured and a good balance of sweetness. Looking forward to coming back! read more

We came here for home cooked South American food. We arrived and the restaurant is actually pretty intimate with no more than 10 tables inside , wood paneling everywhere and a small bar. Lots of local argentines come whenever there is a soccer game, which is a good sign it is authentic. They were flexible and let us sit outside even though our table was reserved inside. We started with six empanadas. They were good and even my daughter ate an entire one all by herself. Then I got the veggie skillet which was really delicious and fresh with fried egg on top of oven roasted veggies. My husband got the el pastor sandwhich that he completely finished too. He seemed to appreciate both the French bread and the meat. The portions are huge. Going back I would probably just share next time. Even though it is a little out of the way for us, I would definitely come back. read more

Love going there for dinner on Mon, Tue or Wed when is quiet and cozy and service excels! Parrillada for 2 (that feeds 3 comfortably ) including a garden mix salad or fries for around $55 is the best deal in town for meat lovers . Is a feast of 2 empanadas, Argentinian sausage and blood sausage , a piece of chicken, a piece of juicy flank steak and a Texan size rib drizzled in chimichurri that is out of this world tasty . Compliment it with a provoleta cheese appetizer and a dulce the leche crepe desert for the whole experience . BYOB always helps . Eat like Lionel Messi would eat, on his day off! read more

Argentinian steak sandwiches and empanadas, wow, I'm in!!! Nestled in a neighborhood, this cute restaurant has outdoor seating and comfortable decor. The initial service was great, the two young ladies were very kind. We all enjoyed our sandwiches and empanadas. We really enjoyed the environment, we got there at about 12:15 and the place slowly cleared out to the point of only having one other diner - and she was sitting outside. At 2:00 pm, a gentleman walked up and in a very curt manner, stated, "Are you ordering more food?" We (party of 6) had already paid our bill and that was simply a way of saying, leave now. So we did, we left immediately and we all came to the conclusion that he was very rude. Once again, we enjoyed the food and restaurant, however, we probably won't be returning to "order more food." read more

Went to celebrate hubby's birthday. We opted for the Parradilla for two, Argentina BBQ. It came with a house salad (mixed lettuce with 3 tomatoes) and two empanadas. We had the beef and ham and cheese. Both were appetizer portions and tasted very good. Only observation was the ham and cheese was not as filled as the beef. The plate with the different meats were excellent. Perfectly cooked as ordered (medium well.) The only thing of note was there were no sauces on the meats (no BBQ, no steak sauce, etc.) I am not a fan of sauces on my steaks but I was expecting some BBQ when it's in the title of the dish! It didn't take away from the meal or the service, which was good once we were able to place an order. My hubby asked if they gave out little birthday cakes when it's someone's birthday and they said no, but then she did come back and gave him a slice of pie before we got our check. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and great tasting meal. The reason it's not 5 star is because 1) there is no parking, only street parking. It's a residential neighborhood with permit parking after 6pm. Luckily, we found a spot within a block across from a church that didn't have the signs, but be aware; and 2) there is an automatic 20% gratuity, no matter the size of the order or the size of the party. This was not posted or disclosed anywhere and came up on the receipt as a "service charge," misleading us to think we were paying this because we didn't pay cash. But after looking at the customer copy, that receipt clearly shows the service charge is actually an "Auto Gratuity". Also, the menu said our meal was $59.99 but it rang up as $62.09 and then sales tax added to that. Not sure if the $2.10 would have been what we would have saved if we paid cash. Would recommend going to try it out, but we likely would not go again. read more

My husband (black), and I (Latina) visited La Nonna for the first time on 02/13/25. I was excited to take my husband out on a date and visit a new restaurant. We enjoy supporting small local businesses and we were excited to dine here. When we walked in we were told to sit anywhere. Cool. Then we were given menus and water. Cool. Once we looked at the menu and made our choices we weren't sure if we were supposed to order at the counter or wait for the waiter because he took a while to come back to us. For context there were only 2 other tables that were occupied. First table already had their food, and the other had already ordered. Finally he came to our table. I ordered my food (in English), and then my husband asked one question before ordering. A very simple question: what kind of chicken is used in the chicken burger (breast, patty, dark and white, ground)? He said, what? My husband asked again and the waiter seemed confused. Without hesitating, I just asked the same question in Spanish and he was able to answer me immediately. My husband was a little annoyed and asked me if I thought he was treating him indifferently. I hadn't put much thought to it and I said no, he was probably just confused because of the question. He probably just couldn't translate it because of the language barrier. As the night went on two more tables were occupied and for context again they were Americans, as in white people. We noticed that the waiter had no problem speaking to them in English and answering all of their questions. My husband asked me, did you notice that he's speaking English to everyone else but every time he approaches our table, he only speaks to you and he only speaks in Spanish? He came back to our table and asked me ( in Spanish) if everything was OK and I said yes, but he never once looked at My husband and when he brought us the check again, he only addressed me and then handed me the check and only spoke in Spanish. At first, I didn't want to see what My husband was saying, but by the end of the night, it was a little too obvious. . My husband was being treated with prejudice. What was supposed to be a date night and early Valentine dinner turned out to be a very disheartening and disappointing experience. My husband asked me if I would ever go there again to try something else, and I said not a chance. I can't support an establishment that treats people differently because of their color, and for that I will never visit your establishment again. I'll give you 2 stars because the food was decent, but the experience left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

This place had quaint and cozy vibes. The waitress was really nice and efficient in catering to the whole restaurant. Ordered 4 different empanadas and the lomito steak sandwich with fries. Empanadas were pretty good with the sauce. Think my favorite was the ham and cheese. The ribeye sandwich was tasty, and the fries were seasoned very well. Overall I would Recommend this place to people to try! read more
