Came here with a large group and had most of the restaurant to ourselves. The staff were professional and friendly. Our drinks and food orders came out in a timely fashion given how many were in our party. We would certainly come back again if in the area.
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.
This place is okay. We had the rigatoni allá vodka with chicken and the bolognese. They bring bread for the table. The bread wasn't warm and didn't taste fresh. The bolognese was really good. The rigatoni allá vodka was alright. Nothing impressive. The waiters are really nice and attentive. We ate outside which is nice in that area as the street is closed off to traffic. The indoor dining area is nice and decorated. I don't think I'll be back, as they are other restaurants in the strip that I prefer.
Had a great meal at La Nonna. It was early, so it was nice and quiet. The food was fantastic! Waiters are well-trained.
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.
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.
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.
Came with my daughter for an Italian meal. We were looking for traditional non fancy food food. This is the place for that. We shared a ceasar salad and yes it had anchovies! She got the penne with vodka and I got linguini with clams! So yummy!! Highly recommend!! Luis was our server! Very attentive and kind!!
Really great service! The staff was helpful, funny and attentive. The sauce on my dish had amazing flavor as well as the veggies. The space isn't huge. It's a tight fit, as to be expected given the area but I definitely be heading back.
Delish lunch and great service. Went during St Generro Feast and they had s lovely outdoor ambiance
when we first got here we had a reservation and none of our food was ready that we pre-ordered we had to order once again. the noodles are slightly undercooked and the chicken parm is the same as literally every pasta they have. the inside and outside of the restaurant is run down. my friends cup had dried food on it. would not recommend going here. also in the ghetto. the water tastes nasty, aswell as the other fountain drinks. and we had no refills.
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.

Really enjoyed our dinner at La Nonna on Mulberry Street in Little Italy. It has that classic Little Italy atmosphere and was a great spot to sit down and enjoy a nice Italian meal. We had the shrimp scampi, penne alla vodka, and ravioli. Everything was very good, with the penne alla vodka being one of the highlights for us. The portions were nice and everything came out fresh and well prepared. Our server, Luis, was fantastic, friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout the meal. Great service definitely added to the experience. Overall, a very enjoyable dinner and a solid choice if you're walking around Little Italy and looking for some good Italian food. We'd definitely come back! 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

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

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. Definitely would go back to try something else and add to my comprehension of the place but the prices are fair and the service was great overall. 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
This restaurant was recommended by a friend & all I can say it was fabulous! Start with their fresh warm baked focaccia bread. Pinot noir & sangria. Entree Veal with side of meatballs & seafood risotto. Dessert tiramisu & chocolate? with vanilla gelato. Tiramisu was our favorite. The service was amazing! Enjoy! Enjoy! read more

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

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

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

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
Love this place in little italy. Ordered the seafood player which feeds 3 but I ate almost all of it myself because it was that good! Their diet coke was the crispiest diet coke I have ever had oddly enough. Coming back when in NYC. read more
