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.

    Fantastic meal last night. The three of us had mushroom ravioli, linguine Nero, and seafood risotto. Everything was delicious. Perfect! Seasoning- rich, decadent and delicious!

    I honestly expect Open Table to represent high quality restaurants (and filter out the bad ones) so this was a disappointment -- Food took one hour to come after we ordered, and every part of the meal experience was an upsell (i.e. "we don't have tap water, just bottled for $7/ea...) There are better Italian places in San Juan!
