Raj Sarma

If you're here for dinner , get the spaghetti & meatballs . Very few places get this simple dish right & Little Nonna's is one of those few. Portion is pretty large and can be easily shared by two.

Larisa Grollemond

Amazing Italian comfort food , meatballs and arancini are always good, and if you're in the mood for a food coma, try the Sunday gravy .

Grace Lee

Cute , romantic . Arancini is delicious. Spaghetti + meatballs is huge (at least 2 can share). Meatballs were good, but I would get the app version unless you really want the pasta . I rec chicken parm

Philadelphia Magazine

Italian comfort food taken to the next level, with something on the menu for everyone. Standouts include wild mushroom arancini , and shrimp scampi . Order the polenta and meatballs to share. Read more

Amanda Vinci

Decor definitely channels my Nonna's house, they did their research. Food is just as good. Get the porcini arancini and strawberry bruschetta to start

Era Singh

Meatballs are a must! Amazing! Cutest little place and everything we ordered was great. End your meal with tiramisu !

Sue B

Perfectly cooked pasta in delicious red gravy . . Garlic bread made with Sarcone’s seeded bread ! Great service and sweet outdoor seating area .

Anthony Maggio

Get the arrancini, eggplant parm , gnocchi and spaghetti with meatballs . Or just order the whole menu if you're with a group. Hazelnut cake for dessert is no joke either.

Sergey Kovalenko

It’s delicious!!! Spaghetti & meatballs it’s f***n amazing ????

Emoo

I love everything ❤ I had the lasagna and gnocchi and were perfet????????

Adam H

When it's warm, the cute inside courtyard is such a fun place to eat in and has great atmosphere. The Sunday Gravy is delicious, too!

Gilles Boeykens

The meatballs with spaghetti are excellent!!! Not a typical taste with the cheese in it. It was awesome, would surely recommend this place!

Erica Nardello

The menu says that the meatballs are filled with fontina . What the menu doesn't say is that this cheesy filling might be a portal to heaven. See for yourself.

Joey D'Ambrosio

Clean silverware between courses is one of the many small things this amazing restaurant offers. Kaylee is the best, make sure to request her.

Emoo

I wish they do the meatballs without the pork so I could try it ????????????????????????????????????????????????

The shaved salad and the stracciactella are both unique and amazing. One of the best meals I've had in awhile.

Aditi

romantic , cozy and you have to order the gnocchi in butter sauce and spaghetti and meatballs

Sofia Papastamelos

Wow. Food was so yummy. Service here is very nice and pasta is delicious.

Serious Eats

The space might be kitschy , but Little Nonna's does serious old-school red sauce Italian fare .

Abhishek Adiga

The wines and desserts are amazing! The wild musroom aranchini was really good too!

Dan Gordon

Gnocchi , scallops and Sunday gravy were all superb. Highly recommend.

Mihail Mashkovtsev

Krystal H.

Cucumber melon salad , so soooo good!

Christina Dahl

Good was delicious, but service left something to be desired. We got our food & drink in a timely manner, but the waitress was very far from friendly . Not sure I’d recommend after that experience

Walt Walker

Garganelle, calamari salad , garlic bread , and the meatballs . So good

Kay T

A cute little place, though full and noisy at night. The food wasn't outstanding, but we liked the atmosphere.

Everything was flavorful and delicious.

Sarah Nixon

Incredible. Get the pasta nero

Bre Bonner

Wonderful food! Amazing service.

Lisabeth Mox

Get the rigatoni alla vodka

Alexandre Guerreiro

Extremely unpleasant hostess . Walked in with my family, and she suggested we go to the restaurant next door if we didn’t have a reservation . More than what she said, the way she said it was very rude.

Sam 

They have great lunch .

Chris Konecny

Speghetti and meatballs were just ok (like when you were a kid) but the broccoli rabe stole the show.

JH H-D

Small dinning area, only about a dozen tables.

Eggplant parmigiana , meatball , garlic bread
