About this restaurant

Romantic
Neighborhood gem
Innovative

Little Nonna’s is an Italian-American eatery in Center City’s bustling Midtown Village. Inspired by the “red sauce” family-owned ristorantes of Italian immigrants, Chef Turney offers thoughtful interpretations of homestyle Italian-American dishes with an all-Italian wine list and handcrafted cocktails. The cozy 40-seat restaurant is evocative of an Italian grandmother’s living room, circa 1950, featuring vintage lace in the windows, hanging antique copper pots and an outdoor garden that seats an additional 40 guests.

The door to the patio kept opening which made the restaurant very cold. The table we were seated was along the bar so caused crowded areas as we enjoyed the meal

I’ve come to Little Nonna’s twice now, and it has never disappointed! Their food is fantastic, and the waiters give great suggestions for which wine to pair with. The best part is the cozy ambiance. Will definitely come back!

Cute little spot, very festive for the holidays. We arrived early and were seated right away, hostess was very friendly. They do not have a bar, just limited house drinks; the server was dismissive and not helpful in explaining this. Food was decent, nothing too special. We got our appetizers and entrees and the server never checked on us to see how we liked everything. We were in wouldn’t go back!

Pretty limited menu, but the food we had was delicious. Maybe the best meatballs I've ever had? Portions were very large. Service was incredibly fast, and very friendly. Atmosphere was nice.
