La Nonna came highly recommended from a few Philly friends, so being the newbie to town I had to stop in for some homemade pasta! I was meeting a friend on South St. to check out another nearby bar, so this was the perfect meet up spot. The service was friendly and we were quickly seated without a reservation during a Thursday dinner slot. We heard about the specials and I had to try the blood orange Italian soda as a refreshment. I had the lingine and clams with lump crab meat which was spectacular. The noodles were so light and the sauce was perfectly flavored and also had a light touch to it. We also shared the lemon cake which was the perfect sweetness level and a solid ending to our meal. The homemade ciabatta bread and pickled veggies served as another great appetizer touch. I want to come back for more of their menu soon! read more

Delicious! Beautifully decor cozy decor. Friendly staff. This is a BYOB restaurant if that's important to you and CASH only or Venmo. We tried the smoked mozzarella special and the calamari appetizers. Spot on. Our party of 4 had various pasta dishes which all contained in house made pasta and were plentiful and delicious. We would definitely return. Enjoyable evening out. read more

A top spot for Italian in the city. Excellent Service. Haven't eaten anything with meat here, but the pasta doesn't miss. And I've tried almost every dish here. And it's BYOB. Can get busy. I'd advise on reservations. read more

Great restaurant, great service with a friendly atmosphere. We go back again and again.

BYOB! Location: 2nd and South Street - Plenty of street parking available. Inside/Decor: The space is small and intimate. You might have to squeeze past tables, but it adds to the cozy vibe. Service: The service was excellent! I visited on a Friday night, so it took a little longer to be seated and take our order, but the staff was friendly and attentive. Food: Generous portions! Most entrees can easily be shared between two people, so keep that in mind when ordering. Food Breakdown: APPS: -Burrata: I enjoyed this appetizer. The portion was great, and the cheese tasted fresh. -Roman Artichokes: These are perfect if you enjoy a tangy sauce. I liked them a lot. PASTA: -Linguine Shrimp Fra Diavolo: I highly recommend this. The shrimp were jumbo, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. The sauce was just right. My only wish is that they had sprinkled some Parmigiano Reggiano on top. -Eggplant Parmesan: This was nothing special. We ordered it because the one we initially wanted wasn't available, so it didn't stand out much. DESSERT: -Panna Cotta: The thickest panna cotta I've ever had. I'm not usually a fan of panna cotta, so I can't judge it too harshly, but it was rich and creamy. 7.9/10 read more

Easily one of the loveliest restaurant experience I have had in Philly. This place is small, cozy, feels like family business. The appetizers were all spectacular - burrata, caesar salad and calamari with marinara sauce are all delicious. We ordered so much appetizers that we are actually half full when the pasta came out. I love my fettuccine bolognese, it came out piping hot and so flavorful. My bf loves his lasagna too. They are BYOB so bring a bottle of wine! The staffs are very pleasant and attentive. We were too full to try desserts but they have tiramisu and panna cotta. Would def come back here. read more

I've had the absolute best chicken in my life; chicken piccata, ever since i was born i've been fantasizing about a dream chicken that chews beyond perfection and feels so tinder and perfect, the sauce and the amount of lemon is just perfect god bless the chef from the bottom of my heart! read more

Loved the food and service was great. We got burrata and calamari for appetizers. Both excellent. The linguini with crab and shrimp was my favorite. The eggplant parmigiana was also very yummy. Also got the gnocchi bolognese and shrimp fra diablo also very tasty. I would give 5 stars if the focaccia bread was served warm and soft. Maybe just my preference though. read more

Where do I begin with this absolute gem!! Everything about La Nonna was on point. Appetizers and entrees were delicious. The burrata was tasty and perfect for sharing. The bolognese had one of the best sauces i've ever tried, perfect balance of tangy with strong hits of fresh tomato. And the portions?!? Insane for the price. This might have been the first time I left an italian spot in philly with a takeout box! The service was honestly one of the absolute best i've seen. Our server was incredibly sweet and attentive!! The space is also beautiful, very cozy and decorated creatively. I cannot wait to come back and try more dishes! read more

Cancel your flight to Italy and come here instead!!!! What a gem in the city. First of all, the atmosphere is so romantic and the lighting, decor, and music makes you feel like you just transported to Italy. The food was phenomenal. Every dish was mouth watering and even though i'm so full, i'm still thinking about how soon i can eat my leftovers. The gnocchi bolognese was the best dish by far, the chicken parm being right behind it with their rich marina sauce. The ricotta gnocchi in pink sauce with shrimp was extremely dense and in my opinion is better to share since it's so heavy but the blush sauce was heavenly and had me taking a spoon to it. The caesar salad was a little anchovy heavy for my liking but it was still good. I will definitely be back. read more

Overall I was not impressed. The place looks great - the staff very nice - the food was good but nothing that would have me returning soon. The complimentary pickled string beans with cheese to sprinkle on top was good as was the Artichoke appetizer. The entrees (Eggplant involtini, Eggplant Parmigiana and the Special Gnocchi with Shrimp) all looked great but for me weren't really anything special. Byo - cash or Venmo. read more

Came here after originally wanting sushi and not wanting to wait 2 hours at the Royal Izakaya. We found it walking around South Street and came in with no reservations and were seated within 5 minutes. It is BYOB, so we could not have any wine as we were not prepared, but I guess it really saved us some money. The BEST Lasagna I've ever had anywhere! Wow, the past was cooked to perfection and the sauce was amazing with nice chunks of meat. Great portion, great texture! My wife had the Cacio e Pepe which was also delicious! Very small cozy ambiance, no credit cards accepted but they do take Venmo, so that helped. read more

Should preface this review by saying the real issue is I don't really enjoy byob. Something about having to bring your own wine or beer that kinda cheapens the experience for me. This place is ok. It doesn't wow like some of the other Italian places in Philly. But it'll do. read more

The fresh pasta was awesome! They had some great specials, tho for certain specials like the pre fixe menu, the whole table has to order it. I really enjoyed the smaller and more intimate setting of this place. It is BYOB which is a nice touch read more

Our dinner at this lil Italian spot La Nonna was great. The space is cute and well decorated, it's great for a night out. Our service was friendly and the food came out fast. The food was great and a nice portion. I got lasagna, its meat sauce was really good. The lasagna was layered well. My date got gnocchis and said the texture of the noodles were perfect. 4/5 sfor the food. Depending on what time you come the place can fill up so make sure you have a reservation. If you do just walk-in it needs to be right when the restaurant opens. We had tried to walk in in the past and couldn't get a table. This place is BYOB, they only take cash or Venmo. read more

Authentic Italian, simple, and delicious food. It really tastes like your nonna's recipes. The service was great too.

My boyfriend and I came here on a Sunday night for dinner. The restaurant is BYOB, so we brought a bottle of wine with us. The inside of the restaurant is cozy and homey. Our waitress was really nice and everyone in the restaurant seemed to be in good spirits. I ordered the short rib off the specials menu. It was good, but not outstanding. It came with risotto and broccoli, which were good, but a little plain. Overall, the ambiance of the restaurant and the service were the best parts. read more

Excellent food and service. BYO and kid friendly. Will be back. Gnocchi were perfect and short rib special was melt in your mouth!

Best Italian I had in Philly, authentic and hearty. I got the lobster ravioli which was light on the lobster but tasty nevertheless.

Very average quality Italian food for a very overpriced restaurant. We were seated in the patio that is located at the end of a convoluted narrow alley, very claustrophobic for an outside space. . read more

We had an early reservation on Saturday at La Nonna and it did not disappoint! The servers were very friendly and attentive. Since it is Valentine's Day weekend they had a special menu. We started with the arugula salad which was super fresh and a great portion. I had the linguine with shrimp and crab and my boyfriend had the wild boar ragu. Both were absolutely delicious! Great portions as well. I hate when I receive a very small portion of pasta and that was not the case at La Nonna's. I had a small portion to bring home but ended up finishing it later that night! All of the pasta is homemade as well which was great and one of the reasons I had wanted to try it! The place itself is very quaint and Italian feeling. There were a few things in the restaurant that bothered me, there is an ATM right in the middle of everything and there was an extension cord under our table. There was also a shelving area next to our table with little decorations on it and the light was kind of shining into my eyes. Overall, would definitely go back! read more

Went with my gorgeous husband for dinner. I got the special, rigatoni pesto, and he got La Nonna's Gnocchi. Both dishes were fabulous. Nice staff, nice inside. To be honest, the bread they served was stale and crumbly, not good. But for a date night with my favorite human being I couldn't have asked for more. read more

The place brought me back to the city of Florence with their chicken Parma and their gnocchi. The softness of the gnocchi exploded their flavors on my taste buds as if the gnocchi was a sort of aphrodisiac. The pink sauce was trickling and dribbled with goodness. The smell of the entre also brought me back to my time Italy. Service was outstanding. Both waitresses were very kind. 5/5 10/10. Highly recommend. read more

This restaurant saved Christmas Eve 2023. With no reservation, my Dad decided he wanted to go out for dinner (not originally planned). La Nonna squeezed us in. We had the fresh fish Mediterranean style(red sauce, onions, olives) For me- this would have been more enjoyable with chicken and pasta. But it was tasty. My Dad had the clams and linguine (white)..., the aroma was to die for and the taste- superb. Appetizer was burrata salad which we split. Most definitely the highlight for me. This is a CA$H only BYOB. ATM inside the restaurant. Oh.. the decaf coffee was hot and smooth. read more

Our family and friends enjoyed a beautiful wedding shower at the beautiful La Nonna and we were all completely thrilled with the food and service. The owner, Anna, could not have been more gracious and accommodating. The food was absolutely delicious. And our waitstaff were just the best, never did an empty dish or empty glass stayed long on a table. Such a special day. Thank you La Nonna in Williamsburg read more

Tonight was my first time eating at La Nonna and it was excellent. I had the eggplant parm which came with spaghetti and homemade sauce. This dish was perfect, the eggplant was cut thinly and the sauce was delicious. The tiramisu was probably the best tiramisu I've ever had. I could literally eat an entire tray. I'll definitely be back! read more
