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.
Belle petite place, sandwich italien très bon, très bonne variété de dessert, que dire du très bon café. L' essayer, c est l adopté Sur place j' ai pris cappuccino & croquettes de morue (celle-ci moins)
A local recommended this spot to us & we're so glad we went! Amazing food. We got the spicy chicken sandwich (amazing & very large portion) & ricotta thyme focaccia (vegetarian & SO GOOD). We also got the nutella corne (SO GOOD, do not skip this), & a croissant. I also got their cookies to go (they have it in little bags upfront) & those were still so yummy when I ate them 2 days later at home. Coffee was also great!

This place is a real Gem, service, food (the Sandwiches are amazing!!) the Pastries, the croissants the pizzas the Focaccia never bought something i did not enjoy always Fresh I love this place a warmly recommend!!!!
Amasing place for everyday & for catering! Lunch: saucissage sandwich, coffee: paired with nutella horn, dessert for dinner: literally anything from their counter. We also used their pizzas as a midnight snack for a wedding & it was perfect!
Delicious spicy chicken cutlet panino, tomato gnocchi & scrumptious pumpkin spice gelato. Awesome counter service & only waited 5 minutes for the food to be ready. Ambience was a touch loud for my liking but apart from that, superb cafe! Will definitely be back!
The price is totally worth it, the food is really good quality & the sandwich portions my friend & I got were generous. One of the staff was new & apologized for the slight wait, the whole staff was generally courteous & the place was nice & clean. Nice to see a local business like this:)
### Titre : Saveurs Italiennes dans un Cadre à Améliorer
#### Ambiance & Service
L'intérieur du restaurant respire l'Italie authentique, mais trouver une table peut s'avérer un défi. Les clients qui sirotent leurs cafés pendant des heures ne facilitent pas la tâche. Le service bilingue, initié en anglais, peut déranger certains clients, notamment ceux qui préfèrent un accueil en français au Québec.
#### Environnement
L'attente à l'extérieur du restaurant & le service en anglais nous ont laissés sur une note plutôt décevante. Manger dehors en automne n'était pas des plus agréables, surtout qu'il y avait beaucoup de guêpes
#### Nourriture
La nourriture sauve l'expérience. Les sandwichs sont un régal, & les portions généreuses justifient le voyage. Mon fils a adoré, ce qui incline la balance de façon positive.
#### Conclusion
La Nonnina offre une expérience culinaire à savourer, bien que le service & l'ambiance laissent à désirer. À l'unanimité familiale, nous donnons 4 étoiles. Il serait peut-être préférable de choisir un moment moins fréquenté pour une visite.
