    Caesar
    Shawna H.

    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!

    Quiche

    The quiche was delicious. Menu is pretty limited though. Service was good and it has a very nice outdoor patio to relax on.

    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.

    Whole cake

    While the pastries and cakes here are truly exceptional, and I usually love their beautiful packaging, my recent experience with a whole cake was a letdown. I was handed the large cake in a flimsy, plain cardboard box, which didn't feel suitable for gifting or easy carrying. It's disappointing that such a design-conscious bakery isn't investing in proper boxes for their whole cakes like they do for smaller items.

    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!

    Burrata di Campagna
    Angela L.

    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 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.

    100/10 experience. We didn't have lunch but we had got some fresh baked bread to go and some pastries for breakfast. The cupcake was the best cupcake I've ever had in my life. I cannot wait to go back for more. Beautiful restaurant and kind and inviting service.

    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.

    Russ L.

    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.

    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!

    Ask the Community - Nonna Mercato

    Are there any gluten free options?

    Do they take reservations for brunch?

    I don't think this place does reservation.

    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.

    Are dogs allowed in patio?

    Yes!

    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 😊

    Do they serve mimosas?

    They have some great spritz drinks.

    I hope they have delivery. If not can they offer it?

    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!

    Do you take cake orders?

    I heard that they do!

    Are any of the pastries vegan?

So I replied saying sorry and that it wasn't up to me as it wasn't my money.
