Nonnina which means “little grandma” in Italian conjures up images of a warm cozy place serving home style Italian cooking.
This restaurant actually has a sophisticated Manhattan style setting which is warm and inviting with subtle tones of tan, silver accents, brick treatments, a dramatic cathedral ceiling, graceful curtains, vintage Italian art posters and comfortable banquettes. Candles flicker on the tables adding a romantic glow.
The food blends traditional with more contemporary accents. The antipasti section of the menu has many tempting choices in three categories, meat, cheese and vegetables. You can design your own plate. Executive Chef Richard Soriano has impressive credentials from his schooling to the kitchens he cooked in. Some of our favorites were Osso Buco, tender veal shank contrasted by farro risotto; Ricotta Cavatelli Bolognese, a flavorful mix of veal, pork and beef, and a salad of greens, honey suckle pears and walnuts topped with warm soft Tomino del Boscaiolo cheese. The wine list is vast with many selections available by the quarter litre. Desserts are all house made. Warm lemon poppy ricotta fritters with acacia honey was a sublime blend of soft and crunchy topped with sweetness.
The comfortable bar room boasts a sculpture of the Brooklyn Bridge which is a wine rack. There you can enjoy a selection from their martini list and a pizza.
Owner Paul Aniboli and General Manager Roberto DiPierro created a bistro that is trendy and homey and perfect for corporate functions and all sorts of private parties. DINNER SPECIALS; PRIVATE PARTY ROOM;
