All-in-all a wonderful meal. The lobster rigatoni was fantastic, and the limoncello cake was amazing. We played it safe with the other dish we ordered, and the lasagna was very good, but I don't think I would order it again next time. The service was fantastic, and they gave us a nice discount on our bottle of wine. The outdoor eating area leaves a little to be desired, but this family-owned business is doing the best that they can with the space that they have.

Good restaurant with some serious flaws. The best part is the bread. It's prepared and yeast raised the day before, and baked as you sit down at the table, served with oil and vinegar and topped with rosemary. Superb. Entrees are reasonably priced. The bad part is that although some dishes are excellent, some are equally as bad. Look at the picture of the charcuterie board. It looks wonderful. The salami is nice. Wonderful olives. It could have used honeycomb, but it was relatively inexpensive so that's okay. I was very impressed. And then look at the picture of the salad but I ordered. Nice dressing, but other than that very plain. Three quarters of one strawberry and a fat slice of roma tomato with a little Gorgonzola. Very boring. The special that we ordered, a chicken penne, was very dry, needed salt, and boring. Chicken was so hard that it would have bounced. We sent it back and got some alfredo which was fine. My lobster ravioli was pretty good, and made the most of the seafood flavors. The bottom line is that either the food is a hit, or it's a miss, but it's okay because the price isn't unreasonable. Most of the bottles of wine are under $40 which is refreshing to see. Staff is nice. It's a family run business. The prices are good. Decor of nice. Romantic. But some of the dishes are big duds. I've been here twice and won't come back.

Nonno’s you won a forever customer today! The aroma and freshness of the Caesar salad marked with crunchy herbed croutons was more than enough to fill my hunger. The cheese bread was a complete surprise with the crispy crust and perfect balance of seasoning to cheese, to dough balance. The only thing better than their top quality ingredients was their customer service. Lisa was more than accommodating to correct a mis order and her sweetness and genuineness are rarely found. Thank you to the chef and all who put in the work to make Nonno’s food excellent and memorable in a time when others cut corners.

The place closes at 2 so get the early for lunch. Menu is smaller Addy lunch but the salads are amazing. I added shrimp to mine and that were a good size and done perfectly.

I tried the raving iced coffee with sweet cream and it was so good. Perfectly sweet!! My boss had the iced vanilla latte with sweet cream and she also said it was good and not overly sweet. I was surprise at the price for both our coffee was $4.

Husband and I went for an early dinner. Lisa was gracious and quick to serve us. She greeted other patrons by name when they entered. We got a glass of red wine each—the Pinot noir and Merlot were both delicious. The chicken parmigiana looked really good and cheesy. The Spicy Shrimp Roma was divine—shrimp cooked just right, vodka like sauce was spicy and flavorful, the pasta was a black linguine and so delicious. Complementary garlic bread is fresh and garlicky.
Nonno’s is clean and precious. We will be back.

We've been going to Nonno's for over 10 years. My kids have grown up going, they have catered school events. The owner Gerardo and his staff treat us like family. The menu is excellent, the wine selection is decent. And, of course, the pizza is great.

Gerardo and the crew are awesome! Food is things dreams are made of. Love it all, but the Lasagna and pizza are my favorites. They used to make a home made strawberry tiermasu that was great.

Whether you want to dine in, take out or cater a special dinner, Nonno's is the place to eat and enjoy freshly prepared pizza and other Italian delights. Owner Gerardo Ortiz is there daily to make sure that your selection is prepared to your liking and served piping hot to your table. If you want to order ahead, as many customers do, and dine at home, Gerardo and his staff can make that happen. When you arrive to pick up your pizza or other dinner items you are greeted by Gerardo or his staff and are quickly on your way. Try a glass or bottle of wine from Nonno's expanded wine selections or Gerardo's new addition of wine-based cocktails that will complete any meal. Nonno's in La mesa - a true "Jewel in the Hills."

Excellent food and wine selection. Pizza take out or dine in. Homey atmosphere and the owners can be proud. I had the spaghetti with meat sauce and it was absolutely perfect.
