Nonnina comes through in these reviews as a cozy, welcoming Italian spot in Lachine with a bakery like pastry counter, fast service, and a lively but friendly vibe. The menu earns high marks for generous, fresh sandwiches such as porchetta and Italian meats, with the spicy chicken sandwich a longtime favorite though some readers note the chicken cutlets have grown thicker and chewier. A broad pastry selection including cannoli, pistachio cannolis, tiramisu, and zeppole is consistently praised, as are the coffee and espresso drinks which many describe as excellent, even if a few note variability. Desserts and coffees pair well with a wide range of Italian baked goods, and the pastries are described as outstanding and reliably delicious. The staff are repeatedly praised for warmth, attentiveness, and efficient service, contributing to a familial cafe vibe and a strong sense of community, though it can be busy or noisy at peak times. Overall it is regarded as a must visit neighborhood gem with substantial sandwiches, superb bakery items, and a welcoming atmosphere.
Very nice looking restaurant, not particularly spacious but enough space & very clean. Love the overall visual aesthetic of the place. Order system with beeper numbers is really convenient. Staff all seems really friendly, helpful, & respectful.
Great food, mostly sandwiches but a good variety plus delicious pizzas & sides.
Wide assortment of snacks & pastries, all of which look amazing & the few I've tried were delicious.
There's a little side area that serves up drinks, like iced lattes & various coffees.

One of the best, go-to bakeries in Montréal. It's hard not to order every dessert. Everything is always so fresh, been going here for a while now & I've never been disappointed.
The spicy chicken sandwich used to be my favorite sandwich in Montreal, until they started using thick chicken cutlets. Please give us the option for thin crispy chicken :) #bringbackspicychickenclassic
J'ai essayer la poutine du mois au boeuf effilocher je lui donne 15/10 elle est trop bonne & en plus il y a beaucoup de fromage & la sauce elle est trop bonne sa vaut le detou

c'était occupé & le service était extrêmement rapide. J'ai bien hâte d'y retourner.👍🏼
An absolute gem of Lachine - from food to staff to ambience. Our favourite local spot for croissants, foccacia pizzas, & of course, the spicy chicken sandwhich. Beyond the great food, the staff is incredibly welcoming - it's a neighbourhood staple for good reason & quite possibly the heart & soul of the area. Highly recommend!

I had the pleasure of dining at this cozy Italian spot recently, & it was a wonderful experience. The young cashier was friendly & enthusiastic, & he suggested the steak pepperoni, which was absolutely delicious. The service was warm & welcoming, & the food truly exceeded my expectations. I'll definitely be coming back & highly recommend it to anyone who loves great Italian food & excellent service
C'est un endroit vraiment très agréable, à la fois pour venir manger & pour prendre un café délicieux. L'ambiance qui y règne est très chaleureuse & accueillante.
J'ai adoré mon expérience dans ce restaurant. La nourriture était délicieuse, pleine de saveurs, & le jeune homme à la caisse m'a réservé un accueil chaleureux & convivial. Je recommande vivement !
