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

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

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!

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

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 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.

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.

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

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

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

Even if we wouldn't have gotten a window table and it wasn't Christmas, the vibes and interior of this place would have still been great. We went in December night of 2024 so some aspects of the menu have changed however, most of the dishes still appear to be on their menu as of now, June 2026. It appears most changes comes to the type of pasta used in a dish, aspects around a dishes main focus and gelato/dessert flavors. Everything we ordered was an 8 or above out of 10. The beet salad (BARBABIETOLE) is easily 10/10 and a top 3 salad we have ever had. The chocolate cake with gelato (TORTINO DI CIOCCOLATO) was 10/10 and the best dessert we had at Da Andrea. We ordered 3 total, including the ricotta cheesecake and tiramisu. Tuna Tartare, gorgonzola pasta and bolognese are 9's. The fritto misto, the other pasta we ordered and the other 2 desserts are 8's. If you're in New York make reservations and go. My Wife found this place and made reservations. Only thing I regret after looking at additional photos is not ordering the grilled pork chop.

The bit of lemon and sea salt added a unique but enjoyable flavor at the end, though in retrospect, the salt probably wasn't super necessary. Two of us split, and eventually, a few of us ordered their signature appetizer, the $18 Cast Iron Focaccia, with tomato conserva, a mixture of crushed tomatoes, olive oil, and Calabrian chili. The bread was fresh and warm, albeit a tad oily and salty, but it paired wonderfully with the conserva. As someone who doesn't like it when bread is extra, this was delicious and worth it. Another person ordered the $18 Insalata Verde. It was very large, but fairly basic, with a vinaigrette that had a citrusy and mustardy flavor. There was also the Caramelized Onion Torta for $27, which was very large, as expected for the price point. It had a creamy and tangy flavor from the Pecorino Toscano with some sweetness from the onion. It was delicious, but very heavy, and I would recommend that around three or four people split it alongside the focaccia. Finally, there was also the $15 Pizza Bianca, which was easily the smallest of all the plates, but they still enjoyed it. My main dish was the Orecchiette for $26, with ramps, pistachio, and pecorino. Like most of their dishes, the portion size was quite large, with plenty of pasta, which was perfectly cooked. The ramps added a touch of sweetness, although I would have liked a few more nuts. Additionally, there was almost too much pecorino, which made the dish slightly salty, but it was still enjoyable. As a side, I got the $19 Grilled Asparagus with dates, vermouth, and blue cheese, which came with many pieces of lightly charred asparagus. While there was plenty of funky blue cheese, I would have preferred more dates. Two of the others got the Rigatoni Alla Gricia for $30. The portion was large, and I tried a bit while they tried mine. The noodles were again cooked perfectly, and while there was a lot of guanciale, this was easily the saltiest of all the dishes. For dessert, I chose their Baba AU Rum for $18, which was uniquely mixed with chocolate and orange. The presentation was a bit off, as it looked like a certain emoji, but the flavor made up for it. The subtle hint of rum paired with the bitter-sweet chocolate and orange. The dark chocolate-covered orange slice on top was a nice touch as well. Someone else got a tart, and one other person got the Gelati, which resulted in one of the only faults during service. She heard it was two scoops, and ordered espresso stracciatella and hazelnut, but was given two separate orders for $12 each. The gelato was good, but unlike most things, definitely not worth it for the price. I liked the appetizers much more, but I found the food good overall. Tasty dessert, and the portions make up at least a bit for the relatively higher prices.

The salad could've used a splash of more dressing, but was otherwise very fresh and well seasoned. We ordered the eggplant pasta, truffle sausage pasta, and the salmon. All were excellent. We subbed fresh pappardelle on the eggplant dish which was nice and chewy and seasoned simply (garlic, olive oil, salt= perfection). The truffle was not too overpowering, added a nice touch of flavor.

We started with the housemade focaccia and Wagyu carpaccio--both were outstanding, with the perfect balance of crispy, flavorful, and fresh elements. My partner and I shared the pasta, hangar steak, and potatoes, which turned out to be the ideal amount for two. We finished with the famous olive oil cake, which we loved for its subtly sweet, moist and tender bite. Served with lightly whipped cream and raisins, the combination was surprisingly delicious. We were also touched by the complimentary anniversary scoop of ice cream. The interior seating is a bit snug, but the decor is beautiful--elegant yet homey. The service was good as well. Overall, we highly recommend L'Artusi for a special night out!

L'Artusi has been on my radar for a while, ever since I heard it was a hot spot and saw reviews of…read moreit being one of the best Italian restaurants in NYC. Being Italian American, I'm hypercritical of spots like these - but nevertheless the positive reviews were overwhelming so I wanted to check it out for myself. One of my friends and I were looking to catch up, so I booked a table and off we went. While it can be tricky to get a reservation during prime dinner time, it's relatively easy to get a lunch reservation - or an early/late dinner. I managed to get a reservation for dinner at 9:15pm which was the earliest I could find. The restaurant is pretty unassuming on the outside - it looks like a converted brownstone and once inside we were greeted by a large space with a sceney vibe. The space is split between two levels with a large bar up front and a semi-open kitchen in the back. The decor was modern - with lots of greys and neutral tones which was a little unexpected. The main star of the menu is pasta, but they also have a few non-pasta mains as well as some crudo selections, apps, and sides. We decided to get a few apps, two pastas, and one side. To start, we went with the octopus, roasted mushrooms, burrata crostone, and focaccia. These were all really good, but my favorite was the mushrooms. I'm usually not a fan of mushrooms but these were prepared with red pepper and fried egg and were delicious; it cut through the earthiness and changed the texture to something I really enjoyed. The focaccia was also a standout - it's house made and was paired with a peppery oil that complemented the bread well. For mains we split two pastas - the caccio e pepe and the rigatoni. Both of these were very good, though I felt the rigatoni was the stronger dish. It was prepared with sausage ragu, soppressata, broccoli rabe pesto, and pecorino. The flavors worked really well together and the pasta was cooked al dente. The caccio e pepe was perfectly fine, I just feel it's been overplayed and didn't feel there was anything that stood out amongst the others I've tried. We also got a broccoli rabe as a side which was great. We couldn't leave without dessert and decided to get their olive oil cake and quattro formaggio cheesecake. The restaurant is known for the former - it was perfectly fine but I've had olive oil cakes elsewhere of the same or better quality. The cheesecake was the stronger dessert IMO - the combination of cheeses gave it an interesting, almost savory flavor. The brûlée top and mascerated strawberries were great texture and flavor complements. Service was great - the place was packed but service was consistently on point and everyone was friendly. Overall, I had a good experience at L'Artusi. While everything was very good, I'm struggling to find the exact reason why this place became such a hot spot compared to other Italian spots in the city. Nevertheless, you'll have a good meal here and I would definitely return if given the opportunity.

I read the reviews mostly good so I was hoping for the best. My friends and I were not disappointed. The first thing I noticed was there were 7 people in my party and 4 arrived early and did not have to wait for my arrival to be seated. Second the waiter who took our order was polite and on point with specials and knowledge of the menu. He (just never caught his name) suggested the Rigatoni which chicken and sausage. I am not really a pasta eater but baby that dish could change that; it was DELICIOUS. I even liked the anchovy dressing on my Caesar Salad and I dislike anchovies. All the dishes ordered (chicken parm, mussels chicken paillard etc.) everyone enjoyed them immensely. The only negative was when the Chicken Paiikard arrived it was supposed to a shared dish by the elderly couple and they asked for regular dinner plates from one of the servers. It took the gentleman who took our order to step in and said sure, lucky their food was still hot. Common Sense is not so common for all. But this will not lower my rating as it was taken care of swiftly. The portions were the perfect size and I was not stuffed but pleasantly satified. We told them the time of our show, food was out quickly, nicely presented, still hot and very tasty. The restaurant was not noisy and had space between the tables. It also had an elevator for those who could not manage stairs. Trattoria Trecolori you will be added to my must go again list! Thank for a wonderful experience!
