La Nonna 134 Mulberry St. New York, NY 10013 Manicotti Al Formaggio The owner recommended the list of daily pasta specials for $16.75. While the manicotti was scrumptious, it was kind of pricey for only two strips. It would have made a difference if served three instead of two, but I still loved every last bite. read more

3.5. Satisfactory impromptu choice for an early dinner/late lunch while in the area. As a native New Yorker with an Italian heritage, I always said that most restaurants in Little Italy can be hit or miss or "touristy". It still holds true to this day. While some restaurants are supposedly better than others, when I want my Italian fix, I typically dine outside Little Italy. On a gorgeous Autumn day, we decided to settle at La Nonna--a random choice. Most restaurants have lunch specials but it can turn out to be a bait and switch once you view other items on the menu (although it doesn't have to be). My selection was Capellini Primavera and the other was Gnocchi with tomato sauce. Our server, Oscar, was very welcoming, courteous and accommodating with some of my requests. We sampled the Chianti before placing our order for this smooth and satisfying wine choice. When the pasta arrived, I noticed the generous portion. I've had Primavera many times. Theirs had a light tomato sauce with the following vegetables: zucchini, carrots and broccoli. Vegetables were cut rather large and slightly undercooked, but overall, I enjoyed it (18.95 price point). The Gnocchi was $17.95 and satisfying as I tasted one. We ended up not selecting anything from the $14.95 lunch menu. We were satisfied with our meal, wonderful service and the gorgeous weather added to the experience. I'd recommend if in the area. It might not be your most memorable Italian meal, but it will satisfy your hunger. read more

The staff here and ambiance are really what makes this place stand out. Eating on the streets of little Italy is something every tourist should experience! Additionally this staff took great care of us and really catered to us. The food was a little underwhelming. Portions were small compared to what I expected. And, not as flavorful as I expected. read more

Got the Super Dinner Special and the Fettucine Alfredo was to die for! Easily split it between two people. And for apps we got Bruschetta and the Cesar Salad. Both good, but would skip the salad next time as it's just a normal salad, nothing special. ONLY note, it did take a little while to get our food. But I felt like it was normal for an Italian restaurant, just give yourself extra time if you have plans after just in case. But 10/10 I'm coming back. Server was very nice. The espresso martinis on the happy hour are SO GOOD. Typing this review as I sip down my second. read more

FIRST off, these are DISGUSTING. They are old and dry. They taste like old graham crackers that have been sitting out for 5 DAYS, and put some powder sugar on it. I DO NOT recommend. They are tough and really hard to bite into they are also harder than a school cookie. I would rather eat school food than at this restaurant read more

Very delicious food. The spaghetti is house made and you can tell! The sauce reminds me of family made red sauce, very flavorful! The meatballs had ton of flavor and very large in size. The staff was super kind and welcoming to our party of 15 with almost no notice, and treated us soooo nicely. Everyone enjoyed their food with no complaints. Even the dessert is great! Try the tiramisu! The restaurant was not too loud but the perfect size for many people. Nice family restaurant. read more

Dinner in Little Italy was a good choice tonight. The lights were strung up and twinkling and the atmosphere was so festive even one store had live Xmas accordion music playing." There are men at cafe entrances eager to have you dine with them. Truthfully I thought I was entering the restaurant next door but just followed the man to a sidewalk table. Not a biggie. Kind faces that were welcoming was good enough for me. All the employees we came into contact had cheery smiles. Service was fast enough and the food came out piping hot. The dish presented to me was not clam linguini but the server graciously took it back and we apologized to each other. My order appeared a few minutes later. So many clams, even two in each clam shell. Looked great but the cooking wine was over powering. I guess I'm too used to Italian versions from Hawaii. I ate all the clams and the pasta was left. One worker said softly, you didn't like it? I shook my head side to side. He said I'm going to tell the chef. I pleaded no but he said, he has to know. Hubs said his meatball special was good. He cleaned his plate leaving only a piece of bread. So many eateries within the few blocks of Mulberry Street. Come at night, it's all lit up and dazzling. read more

The best in Little Italy. The service was outstanding. Sat on the street under the umbrellas, fantastic food in a classic NY setting. read more

Somewhat disappointing. I had the Lasagne which was advertised as being with a meat ragu, but I could barely find any meat in the sauce. Food was just average and service was very very slow. On top of that my ears were pierced by a small child screeching constantly at the next table. I understand that is not the restaurant's fault, but overall the experience of that and the lackluster food and slow service makes me not want to come back. Wine selection by the glass was good! read more

Stumbled across this charming restaurant walking down the street of Little Italy. We were drawn in by their varietable Menu, with a $16.50 pasta special! We were greeted and seated within moments of looking at their sample menu. SINGLE-HANDEDLY, the BEST pasta my brother and I have EVER had. I loved it so much, I wanted to walk up to anyone in the street looking for a bite to eat to eat at La Nonna! read more

The servers were exceptionally courteous, treating me with such attentiveness that I felt like a VIP, enjoying a truly luxurious experience. The pasta was exquisite--perfectly cooked to a tender texture, just the way I prefer it. I opted for customizing my rigatoni pasta *arrabbiata*, which added a delightful spicy kick to the dish. My kids ordered fettuccine Alfredo, and the sauce was "pretty good " said my son. Outside, the winter chill and festive Christmas decorations created a picturesque backdrop, enhancing the ambiance with a cozy and joyful charm. read more

Me and my mom decided on this place on a whim and were pleasantly surprised to experience quick and attentive service during lunch hour. The restaurant was clean and the food was delicious.

Last minute dinner option and I was glad we stopped here. Many Italian places along the street with similar specials and dishes. Decent service, hot and good pasta. Al dente. Seasoned well. Would definitely come back. Portion was slightly small but okay for the price in NY. It was loud since the doors opened right onto the busy street. Good for someone who's not well versed in Italian food and fell for the tourist trap. read more

Friendly staff and very attentive. Pepperoni pizza and apps are delicious. Dimmed lights for a nice private experience.

Let's start with something good. We were having a romantic rainy night in the city and decided to head to Little Italy/Chinatown and stumbled on into La Nonna. It was around 9:30 PM when we got there, hence the lack of a crowd. LOL. The service was IMPECCABLE, can not lie. We were given the option to a bottle of wine upon entry, however, they took it away before they even asked us about it. But they did give us the option of sitting up front or in a more private area in the back ;). Sneaky... LOL!!!!! Let's start with the bread!!! It was great! I phuq with bread. They gave us four slices of just normal bread and then two pieces of cheesy, tomatoey bread. With butter of course. We decided to split two pizzas among the two of us because they seemed like personal-sized. We started with the margherita, which wasn't really margherita.. lol :(. More like a cheese pizza with weird small tomatoes on it. However, the crust was perfect with a great crunch and zero flop. BUT t , the pepperoni pizza was SOG CITY. Not enough pepperoni, too much cheese. Both of these pizzas left me wanting some red pepper flakes and oregano. But t, the service was great, so 2.5. Thanks for reading! Love yall! Also I think it was very cozy there. read more

La Nonna is a charming restaurant in heart of New York's Little Italy. The food is exceptional and the waiters are great.

Atmosphere - Very Good. Located in the heart of (what is left of) Little Italy, the restaurant has a Italian trattoria feel to it. There is a sidewalk covered dining area that has about 8 four tops. Service - Very Good. Our server was pleasant and fairly attentive. Food - Very Good. We arrived just before the window closed for the lunch specials. There was about 6 specials and they all looked great. However, I was in the mood for veal, which was not on special. I decided on the restaurant's version of veal piccata and I was very pleased with my meal. It came with two nice sized pieces of veal and a side of pasta. The lemon sauce was delicious and the veal was very tender. I had a glass of wine with my meal and the pour was generous. Overall Value - Very Good. I loved the atmosphere and the prices are very reasonable, especially considering the generous portion sizes. read more

We stopped for a late lunch/early dinner on a Thursday and easily found an outside seat. The atmosphere is very nice, with real flowers all around the outside area. Service was very slow getting us a menu and to order. There are many lunch specials before 4 pm, which are pretty much pasta, but priced well. We were given a bread basket and butter. I started with a glass of Pinot Noir which was a good pour. I settled on the Penne A La Vodka. My food arrived quickly and was nice and hot. The pasta was cooked perfectly, and the vodka sauce was good. Definitely worth a stop. read more

A Little Italy treasure! The food was outstanding and the service impeccable. The only drawback was noise level when fully seated.

Great lunch with my brother. La Nonna had a nice patio right on the lively Mulberry street but we opted to sit inside. We ordered meals off the lunch menu including the manicotti and fettuccine Alfredo. Portions were very large and very cheesy! Service was good and we never felt rushed. For dessert we ordered the Cappuccino Gelato Truffle. It was a great choice, but we also recognized that there were a lot of other great dessert options on the street though such as Cannoli King or any of the little gelato stands. read more

Today I decided to have lunch and the service and professionalism from staff was outstanding. Mr. William , waiter was kind and very attentive to my concerns. I was here over a year ago and the service was not great. For someone who travels and eats in many restaurants it was a pleasure to come and eat at LaNonna Restaurant, at Little Italy in NYC . I have been coming to the San Generro festival since it started for 50 yrs. Though a lot has changed I will recommend LaNonna Restaurant. Today is a week of the San Generro festival.. read more

Food was good. I had ziti with spinach. Very fresh and delicious. Service was excellent.

The restaurant is in a great location, in the heart of Little Italy, and the prices are low but the quality of the food reflects it, however. The pasta tasted reheated and the service wasn't very amiable. Save your time and appetite for one of the many other Italian restaurants on Mulberry street. read more

This is our favorite spot on Mullberry St. We have been coming here since Pelligrino time. We feel like family, Food is always fresh (not need to use over used "farm to table") because is naturally farm to table fresh. Steam veggatable coimg alwasy bright ansd always are fresh. All food taste like home cooking. Always arrived hot - tells cooked to order. I would not trade this place for any other. Even old school but LaNonna also try keep "new vibe" - lights , music etc. But...any place will be ok - .to safe Little Itally. Please supporrt it by dinning here - don't let it be taken over by suvenir store, or chinesse restaurants ( I like support them too but they have their streets) Mulleberry was always Italians and let it keep this way!!!!!! This is this last iland in Manhathan where time stoped and old rules are still present. You feel free here !!!! And my recomendation always will be LA NONNA. They be like family to me for years. !!!! read more

In the heart of Little Italy, this spot was such a treasure to find. The outdoor seating area is so cozy and the heaters were perfect to take the little chill out of the air (November is quite chilly). They had a specials menu, which consisted of their best pasta dishes and were under $20! The Penne a la vodka was amazing. The flavor of the sauce was dead on! I would love to visit this spot again, if I'm ever back in the city. read more

I came here during the feast of San Gennaro. It was understandably busy as it was a Friday night. Calamari was fresh, juicy, hot, made just right! The best thing I had that night. Red sangria was very tasty! Entree: took an extremely long time to come. They were backed up due to the traffic from the festival. Mom had gamberoni oreganate. (Shrimp stuffed with breadcrumbs made with white wine and tomato over pasta). The shrimp had a weird smell and after taste. The dish was also lacking flavor. I had the penne di pesce. It was a very generous portion with a lot of seafood. The shrimp also had a strange smell and taste unfortunately. The dish did not wow me. I'm not sure what it was. It wasn't horrible but the sauce needed love. read more
