Little Nonna's

Dinner was delicious and I would love to go back. I was visiting Philly for a work function and was able to go by Little Nonna's for dinner one night. $25 for dinner, $3 for bread. The pasta was fresh and eveything was delicious. My waitress, Emily, was really nice and took great care of me. The restaurant is small. There's not much room inside but, there is outside/patio seating.

My boyfriend and I went to this restaurant to get some good Italian food. I didn't have reservations but I called in and they were able to squeeze us in. When we arrived we parked in a garage nearby because parking is terrible. We walked into a small restaurant with tables pretty close. We were sat and Sean was our server and he was nice. They have a limited bar so I started with the red sangria and it was good then I got the red wine which wasn't great but I drank it anyway. My boyfriend ordered the spaghetti and I ordered the squid ink pasta and shrimp. The food portions are pretty big and when they came out it looked great. We also ordered garlic bread which was tasty. My boyfriend said his pasta was ok. My meal was pretty good and filling. We had a pretty ok time.

The food was delicious, though if you are expecting traditional Italian, you may be disappointed. The menu has a more modern and upscale flair on some classics. It is a small menu and I don’t recommend for super picky eaters. We had their Sunday gravy and lumache. I loved the lumache! The Sunday gravy had a fantastic sauce, although I was not a fan of their meatball. The Sunday gravy was a large portion and enough for 3 meals, but the rest was pretty small, just like the restaurant itself. The garlic bread came with only four pieces, although it was delicious. The only thing I would not recommend at all is the sangria. It tasted like a cheap wine to me. Service was great and we did not wait at all with our reservation. It’s a super intimate setting and perfect for a date night. If you can’t get a reservation, they seemed to be doing tons of takeout. Overall, I would recommend this place!

Little Nonna's is one of the reasons why I think about Italian food whenever I visit Philadelphia. I visited Little Nonna's on a Friday evening after trekking through a rainstorm. I had reservations for 5:30 pm and got to sit in the covered back patio area. There were parts of the patio that weren't ultra rainproof, but most of it was. The space was very warm and cozy with lots of live plants decorating the space. Got the escarole and apple salad, wild mushroom arancini, and the Sunday gravy. Portion sizes were very generous, especially the Sunday gravy. The braided beef short rib in the Sunday gravy was so tender the meat basically fell apart without really having to chew it. The salad was refreshing and the apples added that extra sweetness and crunch amongst the leaves. Service was great, food was delicious. It's a shame that I can only eat so much for one meal. Looking forward to my next visit.
