    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Everything croissant and vanilla latte

    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.

    You can tell all the love they put in their food. Pasta dishes were legit. Waited about 1 hour which wasn't too pleasant. But the food made up for it. One of my favorite brunch places.

    Came in on a busy Saturday around 1. There was a 30 minute wait. The restaurant is very nice and clean. The restrooms were impeccable. Our server Bekah was very patient, knowledgeable and friendly. We had their Croque Seniora and the Brioche. The Brioche is such a stand out and the ricotta was an excellent complement. The breakfast was delicious; savory but light. I did add bacon which was so crispy, it's a must! I will definitely be back!

    Joyce Y.

    Simply unbelievable: I live in the OC, and I love this place so much, I've gone so many times- it's worth the wait, parking situation, and I promise that you won't forget everything you ate. Everything is full of flavor and the presentation is stunning. I've always had excellent experiences with everyone who works here from ordering at the counter to dining in. The ambiance is so cute and it's a great place to gab with your girls.

    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?

It's hard for me to pick which is my favorite out of the three because they were all so good! If I absolutely had to pick though, I really loved the Black Sesame one. The black sense and flavor on that one really came through and I loved pairing it with my coffee. The Ube Coffee Cake was also really enjoyable. It had a nice crumbly texture with a subtle sweetness. Overall, I really enjoyed all the sweet treats I tried here! I'd definitely go back to try more, although I will say the limited street parking can make the visit a little challenging, especially on a busy Saturday.
