    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

    Great reminiscing of Argentina! This spot is amazing if you are looking for authentic argentine food. The taste is fantastic. The service was also great, super accommodating from all the staff in the place. The ambience was great really cold inside though lol. Make sure to bring a jacket!

    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.

    Especial Chicken Burger

    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!!

    Sauteed Vegetables

    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.

    Milanesa Especial

    SOOOOO FIRE. Everything I tried was so good. the picture shown is the Milanesa Especial and it was a 10/10 definitely want to get it again. also the tres leches was literally perfect it was so light and spongy definitely try it. The restaurant was really cute inside as well and had an adorable outside seating area too.

    Sausage Skillet with Latte
    Nicholas M.

    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.

    Shared a house special BBQ for 2 8/12/2025! It was a glorious masterpiece. Hard to believe that all those meats can be delivered done just right simultaneously! Wow Definition of a "hidden gem", if you ask me! Nice service. There are many bev options, but BYOB for alcohol.

    Cinnamon roll!!!
    Rachel O.

    Such a cute neighborhood spot! Clean and cozy and warm on a cold January rainy/slushy day! We started w chicken empanadas, i ordered the veggies burger w sweet potato fries, and my friend got the chicken milanesa and seasoned fries. Absolutely delicious!!! Waiter was friendly! Ended w the cinnamon roll! To die for!!! Exactly the right amount of cinnamon and sweet. Will love to return!

The restaurant is not busy at all. We were seated right away. Our server was nice and attentive. We ordered pizza and pasta. Pepperoni and Whipped Ricotta Pizza - cooked perfectly, fresh ingredients and delicious! Served hot! Short Rib Pappardelle - to die for! This is very tasty, the pasta is cooked al dente. The short rib sauce is ssosooo delicious! We sat by the bar overlooking the open kitchen. It was nice to see the chef make the pizza and make the pasta.

If you have seen any of my other reviews, I always get a meatball when I'm at a place that has them. They almost never live up to my expectation. But this place has the new gold standard for a meatball. It was everything you want. It is fork tender, full of flavor, no chewy ground up bits. The pizzas were authentic and thin. With fabulous house made red sauce that wasn't too thick and overwhelming. The flavor was A+ The cocktails were so good! All made from scratch with love. The ambiance was cozy and comfortable. Perfect for a group or a date. They have a full bar, and also great seating with perfect lighting. This is a new favorite for me in the city.

We had visited Florence last year, and one of the numerous wonderful moments of our trip to Italy was seeing "Il Porcellino" - the lucky bronze boar fountain that draws tourists from around the world. A copy of the boar stands proudly near the entrance of the restaurant, and though it is not as old as the original 1634 sculpture, it was a charming reminder of our amazing Italian holiday. Did I mention that the weekday Happy Hour (4-6PM) specials are quite good? The specials are served only at the bar area, so you might have to wait a few minutes for available seating. We started with some drinks, including two kinds of Negroni. The wild mushroom arancini (5 little balls for $6) were the smallest I've tried, but they were creamy and melt-in-your mouth delicious. The whipped ricotta and jam beautifully served on a strip of toasty focaccia was a unique taste sensation. Prime beef meatballs and short rib sliders on toasted ciabatta bread also hit the spot. Even though we were merely dining at the bar, we enjoyed the overall vibe of the restaurant. There are lots of photos on the walls, interesting lighting from the ceiling, nice serving dishes, and servers who seem to know who their regular diners are. We look forward to returning to Il Porcellino, to bask in that indescribable feeling of being in Italy again.

I ended up at a table right by said doors, which was perfect because it had a view of the 1 TV during the World Cup. There is a downside that random people or servers will walk through and be closer than you'd like vs using the regular door like they should. Serviced is good but not exceptional. Attentiveness could be increased a bit, especially relative to water refills, more drinks, dessert time, etc. Food is quite good, but probably won't break into most people's very top tier. That said, there's nothing to really complain about and you won't leave hungry. Overall, it's a solid place that is worth the visit but may not make your "Best Places in Chicago" list.

The wife wasn't impressed. Not sure about the younger folks. We shared a bottle of Classico Chianti, Montescondo which was very good. Boyfriend had the braised beef short rib. He seemed to enjoy it. Daughter had gnocchi. Wifey had Bucatini Amatriciana while I ate penne bolognese. Wifey and I shared an order of chicken Parmesan. So much of it the kids took home almost half. The wife had wanted to get the tagliatelle carbonara but with certain ingredients. They weren't sure if they could do it since the sauce was already made. She switched to the Bucatini but the server came back later with the carbonara for her to enjoy on the house. They are very nice here.
