  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
Many restaurants in Little Italy have become destinations, among them the Busalacchi family's Nonna. The rustic décor features a relaxed country-style feel throughout the restaurant, including the delightful patio. The wonderfully welcoming atmosphere celebrates yet another delicious Sicilian food lineup, including pizzas and all that you would expect from an authentic Italian menu. The terrific entrées show the Sicilian influence, and fill the restaurant with great aromas.

We would love to hear your feedback on your experience.

    Our first time in Little Italy…I’m not much a pasta eater but the seafood lasagna was amazing. The food & drinks ( I had an Italian soda) were yummy. The only issue I had was where we were seated. Table was tiny and located in a spot where my husband kept getting bumped into. I felt bad for him and I think that’s why he didn’t get to enjoy his food….

    Very disappointed in our New Year’s Eve experience. Would not recommend. Staff kept turning off our heat lamp because they were more concerned with leaving quickly than a good guest experience. We weren’t even finished with our bottle of wine and felt pushed out. I wish I had never made the reservation and will not be going back.

    They sat us at a table on a very busy sidewalk instead of inside the restaurant even though we made a reservation and specified birthday. The pasta was very expensive ($20+) for food that clearly came from a box. Middle aged male manager was incredibly touchy to young female staff which felt innapropriate on a variety of levels. Waiters were lovely.
