Nonnina Menu
Nonnina is a charming Italian dessert bar located in downtown Chicago. With a classy atmosphere and excellent customer service, it's perfect for team dinners, family gatherings, or date nights. The menu offers a variety of pasta dishes like orecchiette and carbonara, along with delicious appetizers like beef carpaccio and calamari. The standout dish here is definitely the carbonara, with handcrafted noodles and a perfect balance of flavors. The outdoor patio adds to the dining experience, making it a great spot to enjoy the summer weather. While some customers found the service to be average, the overall dining experience at Nonnina is delightful. The restaurant also offers vegan options and takes reservations, making it a versatile choice for any occasion. I highly recommend trying the carbonara for a truly exceptional Italian dining experience.
