This is one of my favourite lunch spots in the neighbourhood. The café is always clean, well-decorated, & welcoming, & the staff are consistently friendly.
I always order the grilled chicken sandwich, & it's always delicious. The chicken Caesar salad is another great option, & if you have a sweet tooth, I highly recommend the lobster tail pastries & the pastel de nata-they're both excellent.
The food is consistently good, which is one of the reasons I keep coming back. Whenever I have friends or family visiting from out of town, this is one of the first places I bring them for lunch.
It does get quite busy on weekends, so I usually visit during the week. The only thing to keep in mind is that there isn't consistent dedicated customer parking, as the lot next door is used for seasonal markets, so you'll likely need to park on the street. Overall, I'm really happy to have this place in the neighborhood & would definitely recommend it.
I tried the steak pepperoni sandwich, & since I'd never had that combination before, I was a bit reluctant. But wow it was absolutely delicious! It was a little greasy, but other than that, it was really good.
The baguette was excellent-slightly crunchy on the outside, soft & moist on the inside, & a great size.
I enjoyed it so much that I went back the next day & ordered the spicy chicken sandwich, which was just as delicious & not greasy at all.
Needless to say, Nonnina is now one of my favorite places to eat. I'll definitely be back!I tried the steak pepperoni sandwich, & since I'd never had that combination before, I was a bit reluctant. But wow-it was absolutely delicious! It was a little greasy, but other than that, it was really good.
Quelle belle découverte! Je recommande ce magnifique endroit!
Les portions sont grandes, de qualité incroyable & les employés serviables & qui avaient vraiment lair daimer travailler là. Mon seul petit inconvénient est le bruits des chaises de métal au sol (ils manquent des coussinets).
Tout avait l'air si bon que nous avons opté pour une panoplie de gâteaux & viennoiseries accompagnées de cafés.
Tout était divin. Les portions sont généreuses, les prix très raisonnables, le lieu agréable. Bref, déjà hâte d'y retourner.
