Absolutely delicious! The first time we came to this restaurant, the line was down the street so we tried another place instead. This time was mid-week so we didn't have trouble getting in for lunch. We sat on the lovely patio and it was a beautiful day. Service was quick, helpful and friendly. The menu was great and our food was delicious. We ordered a few pastries and a Matcha inside before we were seated on the patio for lunch. My Caesar salad was good but my pasta was so great. I had the Casarecce and it tasted so fresh and light. Asparagus, pine nuts and lemon was the perfect combination. I was told they make their pasta from scratch daily with organic dough and without the use of machines. It did not disappoint. (After visiting Italy last year and tasting the difference between American pasta and Italian pasta, this place hit the spot.) From the service to the location to the delicious food, this place is a hit.
Nonna Mercato holds a special place in our hearts. They are like members of the family at this point because we are there every week reliably. At least a few times. Nonna has become our go to bakery, our sweet retreat, and one of our favorite local brunch spots. Now, they even have happy hour and, during the summer, dinner (Nonna Summer Nights)! And all of the food is amazing. Seriously, truly legit! We buy bread from there each week. No more "big box store" bread you freeze. They make their bread fresh daily. They only use fresh, locally sourced ingredients with no preservatives. It's nice to look at an ingredient list and not see a paragraph for bread (and be able to pronounce all the names!). And their cupcakes and sweets. Yo, seriously so good. And the thing is, because of the ingredients they use, we don't feel heavy or overly wired after eating cake or cupcakes from them. From other places you can tell they use preservatives, refined sugars, processed ingredients. But with Nonna, you can just taste the difference. We even had them make our special cake for our wedding! We recently tried their dinner (twice!) and it exceeded expectations. Now, mind you, all of their food has always been good but our experience was amazing. Their prix fixe menu was well put together, wine pairings on point, dessert was also delicious. Our favorite was the tiramisu! Also loved the spaghattini and casarecce pastas, and entrecôte di manzo, but everything was great. Their brunch is also great, you really can't go wrong on the menu. And I think we've gone through almost all of it! Finally, (if you've stayed with me this long!) the absolute best thing about Nonna for us is the TEAM. Hands down no question. The food is good, space is a comfortable neighborhood vibe, and all that. But truly the folks here are amazing humans. Always friendly, warm, and welcoming. If the management team is reading this, you all have a great group of people there! We will definitely be back (again and again and again) and you should too!
This was me and my friends 2nd time to the Summer Nights and last year we really really enjoyed it. Everything was delicious and we couldn't wait to go back. This time (yesterday), however, was not nearly the same experience. First of all, I realized we couldn't book a table for 8 people, so me and my friends book 2 tables for 8.30PM. I called asking if it's possible to put our tables together close or side by side, they said they will try their best. We all showed up at 8.30 and waited until around 9-9.15 because they only had 1 table ready. Ok. Come the time the other table opened and it's not even that close to each other. But it's okay, I respect the limitations on this part. No one came to us to take our order or even give us water until way later, and we got our drinks at 9.45. Another critique is that my friend called and ask how much corkage fee and they said $25. It turned out to be $40. Another disappointment, but it's ok. Not much can be done bout that part. Next thing is the food. We enjoyed the fried green beans. Crudo was really really salty, and it's not only 1 person thought that. We wondered if the kitchen mistakenly salted the fish twice. We enjoyed the peach salad. We ordered a few different pasta and the tagliatelle in particular was disappointing. It really lacked flavor that we had to mix the other pasta dish sauce to it. The pork plate was good, a bit small but we enjoyed it. Now the mussles and frites were disappointing too. The sauce just didn't do it for me (other friends agreed). I always talked really highly about Nonna Mercato (I also enjoyed the brunch so much) and always told people that this is one of my most favorite restaurants in Long Beach, but this one really missed the mark for me and my friends. I don't know if this would make us want to go to Summer Nights again next time. For $130 per person (after tax, tip, and corkage fees), I definitely hoped for a much better experience.
Nonna Mercato has been on my list for ages, so when I found out my friend took a job there as a pastry baker recently, I knew I had to take the opportunity to go support! Located in the quaint Bixby Knolls neighborhood of Long Beach, street parking was plentiful right outside the restaurant. We came around noon on Saturday, and thankfully despite their busy brunch rush we were seated immediately. Even though all of their seating is outdoors, tables are shaded by overhanging canopy and just added to the cute southern Italian bistro vibes of the place. The menu had a solid selection of both brunch and lunch items - I loved the Burrata di Campagna, which was flavorful with just the right amount of tart from the heirloom tomatoes. For my main meal I had to go with the Casarecce - one of their pastas that's made fresh in house daily. The braided pasta was wonderfully textured and soaked up all the pesto sauce without being overly oily, a perfect meal for a hot summer day. We finished our meal with a Nutella Croissant, from their artisan bakery that also makes their bread fresh every day. Perhaps I am a little biased, but the laminated dough was perfectly light and flaky, encasing a very generous filling of hazelnut chocolate cream. Our check at the end of the meal even came with a custom drawn postcard by one of the Nonna Mercato service staff - another present to add on to what was already a gift of a meal!
I've been here for brunch with my friends a while back but have been getting their bakeries from the farmers market few times, and also because of them, I came to know about Stereoscope coffee! First off, they are a super popular spot for brunch, especially on a weekend, so highly suggest you come with a reservation ahead of time. We ordered a few pasta dishes and they were all very good, but, they are a bit over the top oily for me. Even their salad, which I forgot the name now but it was the one with a variety of greens, it was delish but after few bites, the olive oil caught up to me because it was drench in oil. So overall, food wise, good but kind of really heavy because of how much oil they use. Their coffee, matcha, and bread/bakery are very good otherwise. If you just come for coffee or matcha, and buy some beans home, or the chocolate they have inside, you will be happy! I would likely come again, not for the food, but for their baked goods and drinks!
I arrived on a Friday morning at around 8:30 and there was a slight wait. We were lucky and found parking in the small lot in the back. The service was good and there were great options for breakfast, but we were just a little disappointed with the tomato egg stew breakfast dish as the eggs yolks were not runny at all. The quiche was solid so I wouldn't mind trying more of their pastry items.
Great service. Food is very fresh. Ambiance is great for a date as well. Summer night dinners are worth it.
Held a birthday brunch here with friends and had a wonderful time. Pastries, cakes, and bread here are superb. Since the dining area is so small, they are strict about dining within a set amount of time. The ambiance is amazing but the time limit is the only drawback.
I had a great experience overall! Absolutely in love with this cute and Earth toned chic eatery and bakery. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food was absolutely delicious. Nonna breakfast; all were flavorful and well-prepared. The food really stood out. Coffee may not be their strong suit, but thankfully the excellent food more than made up for it. Be prepared for a long wait if you're going for brunch as it gets busy. Still, we'll definitely be back.
Summer Nights is such a treat. I really really wish Nonna offered dinner year round. Seriously, I wish they would commit to weekend dinners year round. They're so popular, it would be easy to fill.
To say we are a "regular" is an understatement. We first discovered Nonna many moons ago. We were attracted to their pastries especially their Everything Croissants (it's heavenly). It had become on of our favorite breakfast spots but they also serve lunch and dinner! Food: Their pastries are beyond delicious with lots of sweet and savory options. Fresh baked breads. On occasions they would have baked at home items in their fridge. I always grab way too many things but they're all worth it. For dine in - We tried their pastas, sandwiches, and salads - all delicious! Their yummy lattes are made with in house syrups. Service: Fast and friendly for both dine in and take out. Environment: Great vibes and nice ambiance. Cute covered patio seating with beautiful foliage. Inside there's a drinks and pastries counter for quick pick up or to-go. Notes: Nonna is usually packed so expect long waits for brunch on the weekends. Parking lot in the back is very limited and street parking can be a bit difficult so be aware. Pro tips: Come early and park on the street if you want breakfast or be prepared to wait.
Came here for brunch on a Sunday afternoon and there was a bit of a wait, but I heard that is expected here as it is only outdoor seating. This is my first time here and while we were waiting we went inside in the bakery. Such a cute ambiance as there have different food items, wine, olive oils, baked bread, and their famous pastries in there! The line gets long and some of the pastries get sold out right away until they make a new batch. I got the pistachio cream, the ham y formaggio, and the classic kouign amann and the chocolate cake. I also ordered the seasonal drink - lavender matcha. After ordering from the bakery, my party was seated. To start we ordered focaccia, burrata di campagna, and the classic country bread. The focaccia was nice and fluffy. Easy to pull apart and it pairs well with the burrata and tomatoes. The country bread was delicious with the cultured butter and jam (which I think are made here). I ordered the salmon lox - everything bagel topped with a dill cream cheese, smoked salmon, shallots, capers, and topped with basil. It was very rich and filling. The smoked salmon was perfect for me, not too smoky. My boyfriend doesn't like smoky so he didn't like the salmon, but enjoyed the cream cheese. That was my favorite part also! My boyfriend ordered Nonna's breakfast - eggs, bacon, toasted baguette, market lettuces, and seasonal name - with a side of fennel sausage. This meal looked really good. The sunny side up eggs looked nice and runny. I tried the fennel sausage which was really good. The fennel was different. It had nice texture and brought a lot of flavor to the sausage. My boyfriend's brother got the tagliatelle - Nonna ginelli's bolognese, pecorino, and basil. I didn't get to try it but it looked really good. The sauce looked perfect with the bread. He also ordered Spanish latter which wasn't too strong. And my lavender matcha was a nice refresher throughout my meal. It wasn't too florally and perfect enough where you can still taste the matcha. Definitely recommend!
This place was no reservations so we had to wait 30 minutes because it just has patio seating. We waited because it looked really delicious. We all got different milks for our matcha latte and it was delicious. I got the steak and fries but subbed for a salad and I felt like it made the meal perfect. The meat was cooked exactly how I like and it was very easy to eat and spiced perfectly. The focaccia was also very good but would be nice if it came with four instead of three per order. The ambiance is very relaxing and I would definitely want to come back when they do summer nights and have reservations then.

The arancini and burrata was so good. We took some loaves home as well. The bakery options looked good. We all enjoyed their coffee. Parking is a bit difficult so be aware. The cafe side is small so expect long waits for brunch on the weekends. read more

Went for brunch on the weekend. No parking lot but it was easy to find street parking nearby. I got a seasonal drink and the brioche with ricotta and honey. The presentation was beautiful, the taste was just okay. I would go back to try something different because I do like the service and the ambiance, but I wasn't wowed by the food. It was nice enough I'm willing to go back and try it again. read more
My bestie's bday was today so we decided to take her here for brunch. It was a cute, charming place I like all the foliage they had outside on the patio. We got a table outside since it was a beautiful day. I ordered the Nonna's breakfast, the eggs tasted fresh and the salad was delicious loved the dressing. You also get two strips of bacon and a baguette and jam. It was very tasty. My bestie ordered the pistachio brioche, I tried a little bit of it. The bread was light and fluffy, the cream was sweet and had a great texture. It tasted like a dessert. Our other friend ordered the pasta carbonara and it was delicious. I also tried a little bit of it. Very rich and velvety from the egg. They are known for their pastries so we also got a lemon raspberry cake to share. It was very dense but it tasted really good. Service was great, friendly, efficient. We got our food relatively fast. Definitely recommend for a breakfast/ lunch spot. read more

Friendly service and delicious food. Definitely get something from their bakery. Winter panzanella: salad with buratta, shallot, squash. Tasty with a hint of bitterness. I liked it so much that I made it at home. Carbonara: creamy, decadent and delicious. The pancetta had more fat than meat though. Pasta with pesto/stinging nettle: was good and light. A little bitter for my taste but my friend liked it. Pasta that looks baked: basically an adult Mac and cheese. Very heavy. Probably wouldn't get this again. Nutella croissant: so decadent! There is a glop of Nutella with each bite. Must get if you like Nutella. Passion fruit kougin aman: good flavor. I would choose the Nutella one over this. Service: very cute brunch vibe. Friendly server. Parking: small lot in the back. Plenty of street parking within a block. read more

Food & drinks were awesome! Service was amazing! Outdoor seating was great! Such a cute vibe! After years of living in the area, can't believe this was our first time there! We've definitely been missing out! read more
A slice of Carrot Cake for Easter! I'm used to carrot cake with cream cheese frostings, but this frosting was a bit waxier and just sweet. The cake was moist and a bit doughy feeling. The sweetness level overall was perfect and not too sweet. I enjoyed this cake a lot more after refrigerated! The outdoor seating is here is so nice! I must return for brunch. read more

Delicious! Fast Friendly Service! Beautiful Ambiance! Feels like you are having breakfast in Italy! You can order a pastry and coffee to go. If you stay, I recommend to keep the honey on Brioche toast if not you'd only taste the ricotta. Brioche is nice and fluffy. Coffee is excellent. Sometimes I've sacrificed coffee to have a good breakfast or vice versa but not here. Bfast plate was delicious I loved that the egg was not runny and just perfect w the cheese on top and the salad ooooffffff the lemony vinaigrette taste was perfect. I'll definitely be back. read more

lived in Long Beach all my life and finally got to try Nonna, it was great! expect to wait a bit around brunch because they do get busy, but staff was super respectful and informative especially since it was my first time seeing the menu. 10/10 def recommend the rigatoni! but will be back to try other dishes :) seating area and table set up was nice and neat as well ++++ read more
As always 5-star. We were running late to a friends house for brunch and were empty-handed. Ran in, picked up some wine, bread, and pastries. Even grabbed few lattes while at it. Always friendly, fresh, and delicious. read more
Must try spot in the area! The wait list was about 45-1 hour for a table of 2 around 1pm (lunch menu only served until 3). I highly suggest you jump on google prior and adding yourself to the wait list! No resys. Street parking was very easy to find so you should be good there. This whole spot felt like Italy. It was super cute and the vibes were great! There's only patio seating so come on a nice day! We ordered 2 pasta dishes and a Caesar salad to split. The carbonara was DELICIOUS! It was nice and creamy! I'm normally a bolognese gal, but the carbonara was the show stopper here. The Caesar salad was drenched in dressing (personally not a fan when it's too saucy) but good all around. I brought pastries to go (a must) the chocolate croissant was nice and flaky and not too sweet. I can see why this spot is so popular! Will be returning! Staff was great as well! read more

My galfriend and I came here for brunch. She ordered the quiche and I ordered the turkey Panini with a side of matcha croissant. The matcha croissant was so good. My Panini was decent. I think I'm one of those gals that need a hot sauce on the side like Tabasco. They were able to offer me a fermented hot sauce, which was decent. I enjoyed my panini. The server was decently attentive. I think it was just really busy, so she had to check on a lot of tables. The next time I come back. I want to try a bunch of their pastries. They look delicious and well made. It's a cute little place in Long Beach for brunch and lunch. It's a little hard to find parking, but that's typical of Long Beach, so you'll have to drive around to look for a spot close by. read more

This place is consistently delicious. The ambiance is lovely and even if you are going for a casual breakfast or brunch it feels special. You're nestled in their outdoor eating area enclosed with planters and well kept greenery, so the setting is lovely. I've been here before it became so popular, which didn't take long because everything is delicious. They make all their breads and pastries, as well pastas in house. This place is in my breakfast rotation as going earlier helps avoid the long wait. If you want to avoid the crowds, weekdays are better. They also have their coffee shop so if you just want to order a coffee and pastry to go, walk right in and order. The staff is very friendly and helpful. My favorite two breakfast options are the Italian muffin which is sausage and fennel sandwich and the steak frites if you're feeling fancy. Order a coffee or spice it up with a more brunch worthy drink. I love having this place nearby. Parking can get a bit tough since their lot is small but you usually find street parking, walking a few blocks doesn't hurt. Now they serve dinner by reservation only so I'll need to try that next. read more
Stopped in at this French-Italian inspired spot for a pastry to go on my way to a meeting. The menu includes breakfast items, pasta and full meals to enjoy on the outdoor patio as well as a pastry case indoors and a refrigerator with grab and go items like pastas, burrata and sauces; also canned and bottled soda and juices. The patio had quite a few guests, and the line at the counter indoors was busy but moving along well. The staff seemed very organized, but they were hustling! I was amazed at the amount and variety of pastries they still had in the case at 11:30 on a Saturday morning. Most items were huge! Everything looked fresh and inviting. Lots of croissants- filled or glazed, muffins, cookies, hand pies, scones, and a few gluten free and vegan items. Prices vary but I think fair for the quality and size. They also sell cupcakes, breads, pies, tarts and coffee or tea drinks, even bottles of wine! I wanted something substantial but not sweet on this visit, so I was excited to see a spinach and feta hand pie. It was flaky and the filling inside rich, creamy and satisfying. A little salty but just delightful. The restaurant was clean, the bathroom was clean as well and actually had a lovely decor. I am looking forward to returning many more times for the pastries and also to enjoy a full meal. read more
A lovely spot for brunch! This spot was so cute and vibey. Came around 10 am on a Sunday and there already was about a 30-40 min wait! There's a tiny lot for parking in the back but you might be better off finding some street parking. Some people don't care where they park and will box you in. Aside from that the staff was super nice! One of them noticed I got boxed in and went inside to look for the person that blocked me from leaving. The waiter was also very helpful with suggestions. For drinks we got a Spanish latte, peanut little, and a cold brew. All of them were delicious! For food we got the Nonna breakfast, Baked eggs, and the ricotta, honey, & pistachio brioche. The scrambled eggs came out so vibrant that they were almost orange! Afterwards we stopped by to check out the baked goods inside. I couldn't resist grabbing a baguette and a brown butter cookie! I'll be sure to come by again sometime! read more
Nonnas is a great place to stop In for a bite. The service was amazing and the food was good. The wait times can get a little long so check first if you are hungry and would like to be seated fast! They were also out of some options but were able to provide alternatives. All in all it was good food you may just have to wait a while. read more

Literally just left this place. The first time I went I came right before cut off time for brunch but they still served me. Food is delicious. Today Kylie, I believe she said her name was, served me and she was amazing! Very attentive and recommended the pistachio matcha, which I would get over and over again. The meatballs are delish and pasta is really great too. Yum! read more
Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 This is one of the cutest cafes/brunch spots in all of Long Beach! There's only outdoor seating, so check the weather before you come. We arrived at 11 AM on a Saturday, and had to wait a little over an hour to be seated. Luckily, there are lots of cute shops to explore in the Bixby area as you wait. Spanish lattes aren't on the menu, but I saw on Yelp these were quite beloved, and our waitress told us they could still make them for us. So glad we asked because they were so good, with a hint of cinnamon. I asked for mine to be less sweet, and it was perfect. Not pictured is the ricotta, pistachio, and honey toast, which was not too sweet or heavy. We had thought this would just be one or two slices of toast, but it came as a giant cube of soft brioche, absolutely smothered in the smooth and fluffy ricotta. This was the most unique dish and our overall favorite. The carbonara was too peppery for my husband, but I enjoyed it. The steak frites were cooked a bit too rare (we asked for medium rare), but the steak was quite delicious when dipped in the bernaise sauce. We both thought the fries could've used some more seasoning, as they were somewhat bland. Service was excellent - my husband accidentally left behind an important document when we left the restaurant, and when we rushed back to ask if we could look for it, one of the staff kindly donned gloves and started rifling through the trash, and she found it for us! Impressed by how they above and beyond for their customers. We will be back! read more
The vanilla latte here is INCREDIBLE!!!! Definitely ranks in my top 3 in the best vanilla latte category!!!! A must for sure if you love vanilla lattes!!!! If I lived walking distance to Nonna Mercato, I would get one every single day. Superior to the ones I've had especially lately. It's so yummy!!!!! Service was fantastic!!!! It was busy and there was a line, but the staff are super friendly and it's busy for good reason!!!! It's super cute. The staff are great!!!! The food is yummy!!!! The almond croissant was de-lish!!!! Would definitely recommend!!!! : ) read more

We finally sat down for brunch at one of our favorite neighborhood spots--usually we just swing by for coffee and pastries, but this time we decided to dine in for our 18th wedding anniversary... and wow, I and so glad that we did! We ordered the brioche loaf with ricotta, honey, and pistachios, which was next level--I could've had just that and been happy. I also ordered the baked eggs and let me tell you... SO SO SO AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS (it is a MUST try & great for sharing!!!). My husband had the Noona Breakfast plate and thought it was just okay, so thankfully I over-ordered (as usual). I am already planning to come back with my girlfriends for brunch and mimosas! I keep talking about the Brioche Loaf- I literally day dream about it lol Service was great as well and we got seated right away! Glad we beat that rush right after we left! It's such a cute fun vibe out on their patio area which I think that's where you can only dine. read more

Fantastic food and drinks. Coffee is fun and thry have holiday drinks. Grab your bread when you see it as it does sell out. Really tasty food items and very well done. Service is on point as well. read more
My experience here was not very welcoming. I still persisted and ordered pastries and a matcha. The staff seemed very in helping me understand what items were what, so I just picked two. It was really busy and a lot of movement in the background. Not sure I plan on visiting again anytime soon, however,I plan to try one more time. read more

The Brioche toast was delicious! The ricotta, drizzle with honey, topped with pistachios, made the toast perfect. The iced matcha latte was subtle and refreshing. Overall a great spot to catch up and enjoy the vibe. The service was attentive and kind. The area can be busy. Expect to find street parking. I was told there's a small parking in the back. Seating is outdoor covered patio. Inside is the grab and go store area. Would come back. read more
Loved this place. They have a GREAT patio. The staff was super friendly and accommodating to our first timer questions, and were super helpful. We just stopped in for a quick breakfast on the way to the beach and we got a double chocolate muffin, a drip coffee and the peanut espresso - A MUST TRY! I was hesitant at first but we both loved it so much we got another one on the way out! The interior vibe is super cute as well as the patio outside. There was a dining patio and also a place to lounge and have a quick bite or have your coffee which I appreciated. We will definitely be back to try lunch and dinner menus. read more

We visited Nonna Mercato for their summer series dinner service, and it was absolutely PERFECTION. They've curated the loveliest experience down to every single bite, detail, and interaction. After the first course we had already decided that we would be back every summer from here on out. Honestly cannot recommend enough, it was the perfect spot for a date or intimate dinner with friends. read more

Came here with my family on a Sunday and it wasn't too busy! I only tried the Nutella croissant and it was pretty good, if you are a chocolate fan you will love it. Didn't try any coffee but my dad said it was good and strong. The overall ambience of the bakery was very nice and a very calm environment overall. Staff was very nice, helpful, and patient with my big family. We stayed in the outdoor patio for about 2 hours and it was very comfortable. Overall aesthetic of the restaurant was my biggest like. The restrooms were clean and were nicely decorated. It was a bit pricey with each croissant costing about $6.50 so i would recommend being mindful of the prices when ordering but the pastries were fresh and tasted good. Would come again! read more
TLDR: Nonna Mercato is probably hands down one of the best places for coffee, baked goods and lunch in all of Long Beach. Handmade pasta and their various croissants are must haves (try the everything or the ham and cheese)!! Airiest, fluffiest quiche I've ever had. Consistently fantastic food and pastries. I bring my clients here frequently but also come for brunch and lunch whenever I can, with my husband or with friends. Everyone loves it; it's fresh and beautiful handmade food. My go-to food order is the tonarelli carbonara or the French omelet, but everything is good. I love to try any seasonal items they have and during the summer they did a delicious pre-fixe menu dinner on the weekends. They also serve beer, wine and champagne; perfect for day drinking or girls brunch. To-go items are available inside, anything ranging from their pasta and sauces to tinned fish and chocolate. The dining is entirely outdoors. It can get a bit noisy from the street: traffic and sirens and your usual city noise. Despite this, they have created a lovely dining ambiance: fire pit, plants, shade for the sun and heat lamps for the cold. It's pricey, but the quality is there. The bad: wait times can be long, service can be slow and parking can be challenging during peak hours. Try going before 11am or after 1pm. I'm so happy they are doing well, they are a great addition to the Bixby Knolls community. read more
Came here with a party of 4 on a Saturday afternoon around 1:30PM. Was told it would be an hour wait; however, we were seated after 20 minutes. All seating is outdoors, and they have seasonal menus that change every so often. There is a bakery inside where you can purchase baked goods. Their cookies are delicious. I want to try their pastries next time. Food: -Mafaldine (nonna ginell's bolognese, percorino basil $23) 5/5 This was delicious! Had the perfect amount of salt, meat, and tomato sauce with cheese and basil as a garnish. Would definitely get this again. -Winter Panzanella (burrata, nonna vinaigrette, chicory, squash, dried cherries $19) 3/5. The vinaigrette was a little too bitter for my friends and my taste. We wouldn't get it again. -Spaghetti (nduja, pomodoro, pecorino, rosemary $22) 4.5/5 The spaghetti is what you expect but a little elevated. Personally, I would get the Mafaldine again over the spaghetti. -Tonnarelli Alla Carbonara (guanciale, egg, cracked pepper $23) 4/5 This pasta was the prettiest out of the 3. If you like more white/creamy based sauces, you should get this pasta. -Baked eggs (tomato & sweet pepper stew, goat ricotta, toasted bread $17 5/5) This is basically a shakshuka. I love tomatoes in general, but the flavor in this stew was delicious. The bread is also one of the better breads I've ever had. -Frites w/ Bearnaise Sauce $9 (3/5) Unfortunately, the fries were soggy. The sauce was also under seasoned. I wouldn't order this again. TLDR: Order the mafaldine if you like tomato sauce/Bolognese pastas OR if you like white sauce/creamy egg pastas then you should order the Tonnarelli Alla Carbonara. Also-- get their bread from the bakery. The country bread was amazing and tasted like one of the best sourdough breads I've ever had. read more
I briefly stopped at Nonna Mercato to look at their cafe selection. The cafe/restaurant is adorable and would be a perfect spot to meet up with friends! Staff are very nice and the service was quick. Since I was just stopping by, I only ordered a London Fog. However, I had to write a review because it was so delicious! It was the perfect balance of earl grey, vanilla, and sweetener. I ordered it with whole milk, so it tasted extra creamy. I also thought their to go cup was beautifully designed. I would love to come back and try one of their bakery items or even sit down for lunch at the restaurant! read more

Are there any gluten free options?
Are you open for dinner? Also do you make pizza?
They are not open for dinner, only breakfast and lunch. They do offer a special "summer nights" prefixed menu for dinner, reservation only, during summer, which just ended in Sept. and they do not have pizza.
For the summer nights dinner, do you serve wine? Can we bring our own bottle?
Hi, yes we do serve wine. You can also bring your own wine. We have a $25 corkage fee per bottle, 2 bottle max
What is the peanut little drink?
It's my favourite drink there! It's an espresso based drink with peanut butter. It is creamy and rich, almost a dessert more than anything.
If I'm gluten free would I be able to enjoy the 4 course dinner?
Hi there, yes we have gluten free options 😊

Is the pistachio matcha croissant stuffed with a pistachio cream or any cream? or is it just dipped in matcha cream with pistachio on top?
Hi Sam! The matcha croissant is just dipped. We look forward to seeing you soon!
Are any of the pastries vegan?
