Description: The inspiration for La Nonna was my mother. La Nonna, in Italian, means grandma. She was at her best on holidays when all our friends and family would gather at our home. She would get up at 5 in the morning to start making tomato sauce, baking bread and making her famous homemade pasta as her mother had done before her. The two joys of her life, family and food. She would often lament that if only she was a little younger she would open a restaurant. By younger she meant 65 or 70. She was born in 1921, in Durazzano, a small town just north east of Naples. Food was always scarce, it was a central focus of her life, she obsessed about food, she mastered the old world recipes that her mother passed on to her, everything from picking the best tomatoes for the marinara sauce to making wonderful Italian pastries. My inspiration for creating La Nonna’s Italian Restaurant is to share her wonderful food with everyone, to pass it on to the next generation.

I am originally from Philly, and used to really tasty Italian restaurants. I have lived in Atlanta since 1973, and have found an authentic Italian restaurant, finally!!!! Mario, the owner, greets you and takes you to a table. I have been there once before, and eventhough it is a distance to drive, I knew that I would return!!!! We had... More

My wife and I tried La Nonna's because we live nearby and had a coupon. We were greeted and seated by the owner. It was an early Sunday evening with about a half dozen other tables of casually dressed diners. I chose the veal piccata and my wife had the special - risotto with chicken. The veal was so tender...

We stayed at Marriott hotel one block away and decided to have a dinner. It locates in the strip mall. Despite of the look from outside, once you step in, the atmosphere is very cozy and charming. We saw regular locals and travelers like us. Even you are alone, you will feel comfortable dinning here. Service was friendly and efficient.... More

We were one of Mario's first customers. Now word is out how wonderful the food is. Mario always greets us like old friends. It is our favorite restaurant. I just wish it wasn't discovered.

The address on the La Nonna's business card is 6135 Peachtree Parkway and this location is actually in Peachtree Corners, GA, 30092, not Norcross. It is located in the Market Place Shopping Center. Owners Mario and Doris Zaino opened this restaurant in December of 2011 so they are still growing their business. I've eaten there several times by now, both... More

After reading the reviews, I must have eaten at a different restuarant... I even know some of the other reviewers and wonder what I missed. Let me start by saying that the people at La Nonna are delightful, pleasant, enganging, and service is very good. The food however is just okay. We have been twice with other people and made... More

We visited La Nonna to satisfy a craving for good Italian cuisine and were delighted by the attention we received from the owner. He made an excellent recommendation for wine for us, talked about their restaurant and the history of the recipes. It was a great evening out and we really could not have asked for better Italian food, atmosphere... More

We were expecting poor service as we almost always do when we use a restaurant.com or groupon gift certificate. In addition to that we entered only half an hour before closing time with a group of foreigners. So we went with low expectations as far as service is concerned. However, we were pleasantly surprised by how good the service was.... More

Desperatly looking for a place that would make seriously genuine family style italian cooking and found it. We came back three times for dinner in the week spent in Norcross. Mario, the owner, is a very nice person and all the staff has been welcoming us.
