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!
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

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 !

Sandwich Delicieux, beau choix de patisserie er pizza froide..je recommende!!!
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.
What a great discovery. The sandwich was insane, the coffee was delicious & the pastry divine! I wish this place was closer to my place. I even spilled my drink by accident, someone backed into me, & I was about to cry because my latte was soo good & the man working there took the order & got me another one! Great service & food. I 100% recommend to everyone.
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.

Wonderful restaurant! Food is absolutely tasty. Usually, these restaurants make sandwiches that drip with sauce & fall apart to say'so many flavours' but Nonnina doesn't need to do that, it's a real sandwhich with all the flavours & no mess. 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.
I have been trying to eat here for awhile but my hours never worked with theirs. Finally bought a Italian sausage sandwich with a salad for lunch & it is one of the best out there. I didn't read the ingredients so I found out quick that it was very spicy. I love spicy & hot food so really enjoyed the tasteful meal. All food is made on site & everything looked fresh making it hard to choose. I was greeted with a hello & a smile & was served with respect & courtesy which are things I note when being served by the public. I highly recommended.

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!
Très bonne adresse pour de bonne pâtisseries & même des repas.
Grand ambiance agréable avec terrasse, personnel souriant.
En revanche bruyant, pas de wifi.
Prix correct.
Je recommande cette adresse on y passe un très bon moment & on ce régal.
The sandwiches are super good! I recommend the chicken & the sausage ones. Their cookies are amazing - especially the pistachio one!! There's usually a lineup, but it goes fast & you get your food quickly 🤩 💛🥳
