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.

    First of all the focaccia bread is incredible and well worth the price as the size of the dish is about the size of a medium pizza! The calamari was crispy and fresh with nicely warmed marinara to pair. My pollo chef was cooked with courtesy as the broccolini and tomato’s blended well on top of the chicken that was smothered in a creamy sauce. My girlfriend’s pomodoro was so excellent that she wouldn’t even spare a bite for myself hahahah and the wine, we shared a bottle of the Malbec which was a bold yet fruity pairing. Our server was fantastic and attentive. Overall very satisfying and will certainly be returning again.

    Friendly service. Decent but not consistent well prepared Italian food. The calamari was good. The chicken parmigiana was well prepared but the melazane parmigiana was overcooked and fairly tasteless. Casual dining. Prices were reasonable.

    The two dishes we ordered (Pappardelle with short ribs, Gnocchi with pesto) were dynamic and full of flavor. Our waiter was great as he was humble, informative, and prompt. The atmosphere was lively and community oriented. The desserts were incredible (pistachio cannoli, chocolate eclair, and pear tart). This place stands out with their flavor and location. Go visit soon.
