About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Lively
  • Charming
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.

    So glad we decided to try out Nonna! The ambiance, service, and food was beyond amazing. Can not get more authentic than the meals here! We started with a White Peach Italian soda, glass of Rose and Arancini. Soon after came our entrees! We asked our serve Peter what he would recommend and he did not come up short! We enjoyed every bite of our meal and took home a tiramisu to share! We will certainly be back on our next trip to SD!

    Service was excellent. Hostess team greeting pleasant and seated at a nice patio table. Food service also excellent. Love d the lasagna. Also had a side of meatballs that were cold. Like not even heated cold. That was bad.
