| The big, brassy Casa Nonna, which means “Grandma’s House,” is far more glamorous than most grandmother’s dwellings, both in décor and menu offerings. First up is an open pizza kitchen with its wood-burning oven for the house-made pies made with such toppings as fennel sausage, imported buffalo mozzarella, and in-season zucchini flowers. The lunch menu of small and large plates includes such offerings as pasta tossed with shredded short ribs, grilled swordfish puttanesca and piadini (folded sandwich) with enticing cheese, meats and grilled vegetables. At dinner, you may find some of the same dishes, but the menu is much expanded to include plenty of meat and seafood entrées, no sandwiches, a few salads, and a more extensive antipasti assortment. Be sure to order the risotto balls and the fried mozzarella for some unusual taste treats. Weekly specials include spaghetti and meatballs dinners on Monday and osso buco on Thursdays. Sundays feature the “Nonna Abbondanzai,” a rustic four-course family-style meal that should satisfy every palate. |
