in the last weekThis is a great Italian restaurant. The good was great and the service was great. Only complaint would be lack of house or garden salad.

in the last weekLittle Nonna’s – Philadelphia First off, they do not hold back on portion sizes, which is always a win. Appetizers • Little Nonna Garlic Bread – Great. Simple and done right. • Wild Mushroom Arancini – Great. Just a heads up: very hot on the first bite. • B+V+P Meatballs – Great. Flavorful and comforting. • Romaine + Fennel Caesar – Great. The warm polenta croutons were unique and really good. • Roasted Cauliflower – Great. The sauce that comes with it was super tasty. Main Courses • Chicken Parmesan – The sauce and noodles were very good. My mom wasn’t blown away by the chicken itself—she said it wasn’t bad, just not as strong as the rest of the food. • Wild Mushroom Bucatini – Great. Creamy white sauce, rich and comforting. The noodles are on the thicker side, which I personally liked. We also saw a lot of people ordering the Sunday Gravy, and it looked amazing, definitely getting that next time. Dessert • Espresso Tiramisu – Amazing. • Hazelnut Cannoli – Also amazing. Let’s just say after all that food, we could barely walk out the door. Already looking forward to coming back. Side note: it is very dark in there so make sure you bring your readers or pull out your phone for a flashlight if you struggle with reading in the dark.
