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.
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!
Very well located place with parking around the area, cozy decoration, good ambiance, very busy, delicious sandwiches, fresh, tasty, also a wide variety of desserts, totally recommended spot in Lachine!
Le Nonnina est tout simplement un restaurant à découvrir absolument. La nourriture est toujours délicieuse, le service est rapide & impeccable, & l'ambiance est portée par des employés chaleureux qui offrent un service véritablement personnalisé.
J'ai aussi fait affaire avec eux pour leur service traiteur lors de mon party de Noël & j'ai été plus que satisfaite. (& toute mon équipe aussi d'ailleurs)Tout était parfait du début à la fin.
Honnêtement, c'est un endroit que tout le monde devrait essayer au moins une fois. Pour moi, je le recommande à 100%, c'est un endroit que tout le monde gagnerait à connaître.

Excellent sandwich shop. Nice variety of fresh sandwiches, sides & desserts. Coffee bar is great. Shop is trendy looking & very clean. Outdoor seating available in the summer. Located next to the flower market in Lachine. Highly recommend.
Far & away one of the best hidden gems in Montreal. The food is always fresh & incredibly delicious. I'm a big fan of the sandwiches & would put them up there with the best in Montreal (Marchigiani for example). The coffee is very underrated & I always recommend getting one when you stop by. Finally the bakery itself, absolutely incredible!! Try the donuts, the bread, the pizza, eclairs, fruit tart it's all 🔥
During the week or on the weekend it's a must stop, chill in old Lachine with insanely good food… can't go wrong.
A hidden gem in Lachine! The vibe inside it feels like you are in a little busy cafe in Italy, staff is very lovely & you can also buy some of the local italian products.
Their sandwiches are excellent & the pastries are to die for! Highly recommend getting an afogato on a hot day especially since they also make their own gelato.
Their cakes are also very good, very light & not too heavy, call 1-2 days in advance if you want to order a specific whole cake for a celebration.
Highly recommend their cannoli cake, their pistachio cannolis, their almond flour pistachio cookies & the proscuitto sandwich to name a few!
Everything that they offer is top notch! I've had the wraps & bakery items previously but even the shelf-stable pantry items they sell are really good. It's a regular stop for me at this point. Plus, the prices here are very hard to beat. Definitely a unique place that adds a lot to the Lachine area's food scene.
I love Nonnina! Such a staple in Lachine. Great food, great pastries & great coffee.
They use high quality ingredients & truly authentic Italian flavours!
Voici trois fois que nous y allons & tout est toujours exceptionnellement bon, dont les meilleurs arancini (pistache & pancetta, wow) & cannoli mangés de ce côté-ci de l'Atlantique! Sans parler de leurs deux belles terrasses à quelques pas du Canal Lachine. On a hâte d'y retourner!
Best. Since I discovered them while passing by Lachine had to come twice in three days, cause I felt the need to try all of their pastries. Soooo good! Definitely will go every time I'm in Lachine.
I've been on the hunt for a good bakery in Lasalle /lachine & I'm so happy I found this place ! I got the tiramisu & I can't lie it is the best one I've had in Montreal so far !!! So creamy & thick , so flavorful I loved it 😍😍 I also got the pizza that was pretty good as well ! Can't wait to try more of their baked goods 🤤
