La Nonna

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.

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.

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.

Understand the great reviews. Service, vibe, and cost were all outstanding. Icing on the cake was the beautiful lady sitting at the back table.

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.

Upon entering La Nonna, we were met by the owner's lovely wife that gave us a great table in the back near the kitchen and it was perfect. The food came out in generous portions and excellent taste and the menu had so many yummy choices my friend and I both ordered different entrees so we could share them. everything was amazing. Our servers were friendly and made sure everything was perfect. Five stars for sure!!

The calamari taste great and the service awesome! I enjoyed chatting with the owner who is very hospitable.

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.

Great food with attentive service. Bring your own bottle. Food comes out hot sand quickly.

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.
