About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem

Good for special occasions

A unique Italian gastronomic experience awaits you at Nonna, where we honor the dedication, care and love that Italian grandmothers put into each plate.

Nonna provides a unique atmosphere, full of history where you can savor Italian classic dishes made from scratch with fresh vegetables, assorted cheeses, unfiltered extra virgin olive oil and fresh handmade pasta made daily.

The menu includes a selection of dishes ranging from antipasti, soups and pasta with a variety of meats and seafood. The pizzas are made with carefully selected ingredients including Caputo flour from Naples, Italy, extra virgin olive oil unfiltered and fresh mozzarella.

"La Nonna” was the precursor of this Italian cuisine where they used the best ingredients while preparing everything from scratch. It is a throwback to the traditional and rustic cuisine. We try to respect these methods and recipes from the past while integrating cutting-edge techniques.

This little hole in the wall restaurant was very good. There was only one waiter for the whole place. He did a very good job considering. Arancini and carpaccio was fantastic. We had 2 pasta dishes both had pancetta. While the dishes were very tasty I wish they had rendered the fat from the pancetta more . It was undercooked, fatty and inedible, but very flavorful dishes. The lighting is terrible. They could really up their game if the used white tablecloths under their paper and installed dimmers for their lighting. It would change the entire feeling of the space . The wall sconces are blinding.

Excellent food and experience. This is the second time we visit Nonna while vacationing in PR, but this time we brought friends from GA. Nonna did not disappoint; every dish was perfect, the ambience unique and the service was great. Next time we visit the island, we will be back.

Had really high hopes for the place and unfortunately it was subpar. The restaurant seemed short staffed which led to a really stretched out dinner during which we struggled to flag down a waiter for anything. Ordered a drink that never came, then 30 mins later the same waiter came back and asked if we’d like more drinks. That same undelivered drink was marked on our bill. The carpaccio was good, but the main courses were just okay—unfortunately not what we expected from a nice Italian place. We were then marked as a no-show which I had to dispute with OpenTable with our receipt.

Good ambiance, good food! The wine selection was excellent! Desert selection was kind of poor! Definitely will try again.
