Great experience in Wilmington. When we were visiting Wilmington we were looking for somewhere good to eat, and social media recommended we tried out casa nonna. The ambiance is super fun as it's hidden to the side of a food hall, but tucked away so it feels very intimate. The food was phenomenal. I got the chicken Parmesan (although it's an appetizer it filled me up), my husband got the sausage pizza and my friend got eggplant parm. While the food was amazing, the one complaint I had was the service. I felt bad I feel like the server was handling every single table, and while the server was super nice and helpful, our food took forever and getting water and the check took a while as well. Overall good experience and will be back when I again to try new food here. read more

Enjoyed our meal at casa nonna. We were seated in the back corner so it felt like our server forgot about us a lot- minimal check-ins. Espresso martini was INCREDIBLE- would go back just for this. Meatballs were overcooked but sauce was great. Pork osso bucco was great! This is located in a food hall so despite the effort to feel like a nicer restaurant, the atmosphere is definitely still a food court. read more

I really enjoyed the food here! Inside the Deco food hall, casa nonna offers homey Italian food. Got a chopped salad, very well dressed and loved all the topping in there, and the vodka sauce pasta. The pasta actually tasted very fresh. Both were great and I'd come back! read more

Went here last Friday for lunch before the holiday weekend. Andre, our server was great. I've been here several times before, but after this last visit I won't be back. To start, we ordered the mozzarella sticks and the meatballs. Previously, the presentation was one big stick, now they are 3 smaller ones. Not a problem because the taste was still the same. As mentioned in a prior review, the meatballs don't have that strong basil flavor that I always found enjoyable. Nothing sets this meatball apart. It was good, but you could get it anywhere. My daughter wanted vodka sauce, but we were informed they were out of vodka sauce. Not sure who's Nonna would run out of sauce, but ok. We were provided complimentary bread due to the lack of sauce which was a nice gesture. By the time my two entrees came I only had a small bite because I was full from the apps and wanted to save room for dessert. They tasted fine. Now for dessert we ordered cannolis which looked different from the last time I had them in May. They also tasted different. Not bad but definitely not spectacular, just regular. To top it all off I was charged a 3% service fee for using my credit card. I guess this is new since I've never been charged in the past. They should make customers aware prior to utilizing a card. After I ate my meal when I was home I started to feel weird with a slight headache and stomach ache. I thought maybe it was the Prosecco I had during lunch but didn't think much of it. Well the next day when I ate my entrees I was able to confirm it was the food as I had a knot in my stomach all night long and had to throw the entrees I purchased away. Needless to say I won't be returning. This used to be such a good spot, but I won't be back after wasting money on a meal I wasn't even able to eat. read more

Another fantastic concept from the Bardea Restaurant Group! Casa Nonna is a new sit-down restaurant within the DE.CO food hall in downtown Wilmington, and we very much enjoyed our recent dinner there. The extensive menu features pizzas, some Italian classic pastas ("Nonna's House Pasta") and some reimagined Italian dishes ("Our House Pasta"), but every bite we had was delicious. We started with the mozzarella stick (yes, singular) --- the biggest mozzarella stick I have ever seen, topped with an eggplant parmesan inspired mousse. The outside was crispy and delicious, the cheese pull was Instagram-perfect, and the flavors were incredible. We then tried the Fig pizza, featuring figs (duh), prosciutto, arugula, and burrata, which was a delightful combination of flavors and textures that came together perfectly. We were drawn to the chef's favorite asterisks on the menu next to the Pasta Mista from the Nonna's House Pasta menu, which was a flavorful bowl of mismatched pasta shapes with a slight kick of spice. We enjoyed this, but the other dishes were a bigger highlight for us. Finally, we wrapped up the meal with the tiramisu... and it was possibly the best tiramisu I have ever had. 10/10, would order every time. The cocktail/drink menu is solid as well, with something for every palate. I'm not sure if they're offering this drink menu at the DE.CO bar or not, but would be nice to grab a drink to pair with dinner from any of the food stalls at DE.CO. read more

This is located INSIDE of D.E.C.O. Definitely worth a stop and gluten friendly menu! I had everything except the agnolotti (as this is premade and not gluten free). The mozz stick was crazy out of this world. I would love to do one of the "girls night out" when they have a larger app menu (i think¿). The server was super sweet. I did order a red wine and it was served chilled which threw me off for a minute. So far Bardea Food Group crushes the game! The inside is very chill and the bar is set up nicely where this could easily be a great date spot or middle of the week dinner! read more

Not as familiar with the area, so not sure if this joint is good or bad for the area. I tried several dishes and all were okay, but I think there may be better options in the area. Red sauce is tangy and thin. Fried mozz has every sauce except tomato (that I could taste). Fun thing is the happy hour at bar serves wings. The texture is good, but the "buffalo" flavor I ordered came out very sweet and tangy, almost like bbq. The atmosphere is nice and the staff is friendly. read more

I had been looking forward to trying this place--the menu is creative and genuinely intriguing. That said, I'd noticed on previous visits (while dining elsewhere in the same location) that it never seemed very busy, rarely more than a couple of occupied tables, which gave me some pause to try this place. During my visit, I ordered a salad and the ricotta gnocchi. I had originally planned to try the chicken parmesan, but unfortunately, they were out. The salad and drink were both fine, but the main course was a letdown. The portion was surprisingly small. At $24, I expected something more substantial, not what felt like an appetizer-sized dish. In total, I spent nearly $60 and left still hungry and underwhelmed. read more

Food was amazing! We sat at the bar, which is roomy and accommodating for eating. The servers are all very knowledgeable of both drinks and food. They take things (the food) seriously there, which is a plus. The only cons were the front of the house was very drafty, most likely at no fault of their own since it's on the side of a food court. I love tiramisu and theirs was not it, at all. I tasted zero espresso and it was overly sweet. Fritto Misto was our favorite! Espresso martinis are my favorite around, so far! Would love to come back! read more

Attractive downtown eatery with attentive staff and vibrant crowd. A small menue, a good thing. Some food is good, some not so much. Prices are very reasonable. read more

First visit to Cassa Nonna in the Delco food court in downtown Wilmington DE. They have a nice sit down space & food comes from the adjacent Bardea kitchen . We started with the porchetta and it was the best, Moist & delicious 2 large portions We split the Fig pizza, which is prosciutto, ricotta , arugula with fig jam instead of tomato sauce. Very tasty and not too salty. Wines by glass were good too. Didn't have time for dessert but we will definitely be back. read more

The space is gorgeous and I felt transported from Wilmington to Manhattan. Falon was a wonderful server providing great suggestions on the menu and checking back appropriately throughout our meal. Now, on to the food! We started with the focaccia and fritto misto. The calamari was so tender and well-flavored. Entrees were lasagna and linguine with clams. Both were incredible. They have a full bar with extensive options. I highly recommend and can not wait to return. read more

Do not get the spaghetti it's very bad it's like microwaved. The bread was good but that was all. Get the nukis those r good.

Veronica and the salad were the only things worth praising. The rest was a disappointment. Gabe, the manager, showed no real interest in customer satisfaction. Five out of six meals came out cold or barely warm, and appetizers took over 45 minutes to arrive. Terrible service, long waits, and poor food quality -- I won't be coming back. read more

I had the distinct pleasure of meeting an overbearing attendant. This person served an unevenly heated yet near raw microwaved ersatz eggplant nestled beside a section of petrified, pre-frozen, and insipid spaghetti. This gustatory duo rendered the palate with an indescribable glimpse into a cafeteria from the Stygian depths of Orwell's "1984." The meal sports a hefty price and as a bonus it was enhanced by a noisy environment composed of automata. Such a outpouring of sensory munificence turns a one-star rating into a monumental feat for this pseudo ristorante. read more

Ate here last night with business associates. Everything was top notch and delicious. Standouts: the calamari -- super crispy and tender, with sliced fried jalapenos interspersed among the calamari (honestly I could have eaten a basket of the fried jalapenos!); the prosciutto appetizer was absolutely fabulous, with perfectly balanced sweet and salty elements -- would definitely order again. Highly recommend the mozzarella stick - crispy and presented beautifully with an eggplant mousse-like sauce. I only ate appetizers but my companions all had various pasta dishes which all received high praise. The wine list is decent, although I wish they had a few more "by the glass" options. We did not have dessert because we were too full. I'll be sure to leave room for it on my next visit. Service was a little slow to start, but I think they may have been understaffed for a bit when we got there. Service definitely picked up as our dinner continued. All in all, it was the quality I expected from a Bardea venture and I will definitely be back with family and friends. read more
