" My partner and I had a decent experience overall, though there were some minor hiccups during our visit. The food was tasty—especially the garlic bread, which was a highlight—but our main dishes took longer than expected. The cozy atmosphere is definitely a plus but service could require some improvement. I’ll give it another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited recently and found the place charming yet small. My pasta dish was flavorful but left me wishing for a bit more seasoning, perhaps an oversight on their part. Nevertheless, the service from Lisa was attentive and warm, making for a pleasant evening. It’s a nice local spot, and I can see why many rave about it. Will likely return to try more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Nonno’s for the first time today, and it was a delightful experience! The servers were remarkably warm, and the recommended Shrimp Risotto was to die for—so creamy and flavorful! Portions were ample, and the wine selection really complemented the meal. There’s a lovely Italian vibe, making this an excellent spot for a date night or family gathering. Excited to come back for more homemade delights! " (*Curated Review*)

" Nonno's is simply fantastic! The atmosphere is classic Italian, and you feel right at home. I thoroughly enjoyed my pizza and they had an impressive selection of wines. I will definitely be coming back—try the tiramisu for dessert; you won’t regret it! This gem in La Mesa is definitely worth the visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot rave enough about Nonno’s! It’s small but so cozy and welcoming. The staff treats you like family, especially Lisa who remembers everyone’s name. The creamy Alfredo I had was perhaps the best I’ve ever tasted! If you're seeking authentic Italian food with a home-cooked feel from a family-run restaurant, this is the place! Reservations are a must due to its popularity. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wonderful little restaurant! Everything from the food to the staff was just lovely. Their stuffed mushrooms are a must-try; they’ll blow your mind! It's easy to see that this family-owned establishment truly cares about its patrons. While seating can be tight, it lends to the charm of the experience. Looking forward to many more meals here! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful little gem! My husband and I stumbled upon Nonno's after hearing a friend's rave review. The garlic bread was heavenly, and the seafood pasta had a freshness that was truly exceptional. Our server was knowledgeable and made excellent recommendations. It's all very cozy, though watch out—size means you may find yourself waiting during peak hours. Definitely worth it! " (*Curated Review*)
