About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
Nonna’s Italian Bistro serves up home-cooked Italian dishes and local favorites throughout the week. The wine dinner is a popular favorite, but many diners also prefer the standard dinner menu, which offers everything including starters, salads, soups and entrées.

The grilled salmon salad is particularly tasty, as is the pasta fagole and the arrabbiata, which is made with sausage, spinach and peppers. For lunch, enjoy a menu of sandwiches with themes drawn from traditional Italian-Chicago street food. The Italian beef sandwich is always a hit, but you might prefer the Italian combo with beef, sausage and peppers. There is a kids’ menu available, as well as a daily happy hour with discounted wines and snacks.

    I liked the restaurant a lot - the food was good, the ambiance was really nice - but the waitstaff did pressure us to buy apps, desserts, and more expensive drinks. I'm not a fan of getting the upsell experience when I'm trying to enjoy a nice night out with the family. What should be a relaxing evening becomes somewhat stressful when you start trying to argue your way out of this or that additional charge.

    Nonna's was a regular restaurant for us as we lived in the neighborhood. We moved in 2019 to the other side of town and went to Nonna's with our adult children for my husband's birthday. We ordered our favorite, Chicken Picata and were dissapointed. the table ordered 4 servings as we always raved about it. Not only did the meal shrink, only one chicken medalian instead of two, but the chicken was dry and there was very little to no sauce on the chicken. I hope it was just a bad night, as we used to love it.

    My friends and I love going to Nonna's! not only to enjoy the marvelous Italian cuisine but also to enjoy Odell, the entertainer who has been our favorite for years. On a Friday night, after a hectic week, getting a glass of wine, listening to Odell's velvety voice, eating marvelous food, and sharing stories with friends, it is the perfect evening!
