La Nonna is a waterfront Italian restaurant where big portions, Roman-style pinsa, and red-sauce classics anchor both date nights and group dinners. It reads like a modern Brooklyn version of a Sunday-at-Nonna’s dining room, with a long menu and a lively room that leans celebratory.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chicken Parmigiana alla Vodka, Pappardelle al Vino Rosso, Lobster-filled ravioli with shrimp and crab
