A unique Italian gastronomic experience awaits you at Nonna, where we honor the dedication, care and love that Italian grandmothers put into each plate.

Nonna provides a unique atmosphere, full of history where you can savor Italian classic dishes made from scratch with fresh vegetables, assorted cheeses, unfiltered extra virgin olive oil and fresh handmade pasta made daily.

The menu includes a selection of dishes ranging from antipasti, soups and pasta with a variety of meats and seafood. The pizzas are made with carefully selected ingredients including Caputo flour from Naples, Italy, extra virgin olive oil unfiltered and fresh mozzarella.

"La Nonna” was the precursor of this Italian cuisine where they used the best ingredients while preparing everything from scratch. It is a throwback to the traditional and rustic cuisine. We try to respect these methods and recipes from the past while integrating cutting-edge techniques.

    So lovely! As an American, was a little nervous parking on the street, but well worth it. Inside was warm and inviting. The service was excellent and food was fresh! 10 out of 10. Carpaccio and Arancini were delicious apps. I had a pork lasagne special. Delcious!

    The food was really great. We enjoyed everything they served us (appetizers, entre and dessert). Service was quick and the atmosphere was quiet enough for a date night.

    Una experiencia de alto nivel: desde la bienvenida al restaurante, los meseros, las atenciones. Los cócteles son riquísimos. Pedimos La Tarantella con bourbon, jugo de lima y guanábana. Además de aromático, exquisito. La burrata fresca, con pistacho pesto, deliciosa. Los raviolis tanto los de cabra y ricotta, como los de pato en reducción de vino estaban exquisitos, bien condimentados y la carne suave. Definitivamente volveremos. Chapeau chapeau! 🎩🎩

    Great cocktails, appetizers but my plate specifically the Duck Ravioli was bit over salted. Service was great and the restaurant was well lit with the music not too loud. Would return to try other dishes.

    A neighborhood gem. Small restaurant with great food, decent wine list, and excellent service. My husband, a friend and I went last night while visiting PR. We were all very happy with the choice

    This little restaurant has quickly become one of our favorite spots. My fiancé and I very much enjoy the goat cheese ravioli; so much so that we’ve been to Nonna’s three times in the last month. Each time we bring a new group of friends so that they can taste what is arguably the best Italian dish ever conceived. The service these past few weeks has been impeccable. The wait staff has been friendly and knowledgeable on wines. I wanted to highlight this because in the past I wrote a review detailing a bad experience. Now I know that it was just a bad day, to which everyone is entitled. Give this place a try! Get the goat cheese ravioli. You will not regret it.
