La Nonna is a modern trattoria in the heart of Holland Village, Singapore, honouring the simplicity and warmth of traditional Italian country cooking since it opened in 2006. The name means "The Grandmother," reflecting the restaurant's inspiration: recipes passed down through generations of Italian grandmothers, served in a cosy, unpretentious space.
The space captures the charm of the Italian countryside with a modern touch — a traditional bronze wood-fired oven anchors the room, surrounded by deep wood tones, taupe walls, vintage posters, and shelves lined with antique lamps and wine bottles. The menu is thoughtfully curated and refreshed quarterly to follow Italy's seasons, spanning antipasti, wood-fired pizzas, house-made pasta and risotto, mains, and desserts rooted in Tuscan tradition.
La Nonna's wine list features Italian favourites alongside select French and Australian labels, each chosen to pair with the kitchen's dishes, plus Italian beers, classic cocktails and signature aperitifs. Daily Happy Hour runs from 5:30pm to 8pm, and the restaurant offers both dine-in and delivery/takeaway options.
Tucked into Lorong Mambong in the heart of Holland Village, La Nonna has been serving rustic Italian country cooking since 2006. The name means "The Grandmother" — a nod to the recipes passed down through generations of Italian nonnas that shape the restaurant's entire approach to food.
La Nonna's food is described as unpretentious in presentation yet rich in depth, honouring the soulful flavours of Tuscany. The kitchen leans on fresh ingredients, time-honoured techniques, and recipes crafted with care — the kind of food, the restaurant says, that every Italian grandmother takes pride in serving. To keep that promise fresh, the menu is thoughtfully curated and refreshed quarterly to follow Italy's seasons, so regulars find something new with each visit even as the core dishes stay familiar.
The dining room captures the charm of the Italian countryside with a modern touch. A traditional bronze wood-fired oven anchors the space, surrounded by deep wood tones, taupe walls, vintage posters, and shelves lined with antique lamps and wine bottles — the kind of cosy, timeless setting meant to feel like home whether you're gathering with family, friends, or someone special.
The menu opens with antipasti and salads — Focaccia with olive oil and rosemary, a Caprese with buffalo mozzarella and Genovese pesto, Beef Carpaccio, and Mozzarella E Parma wrapped in 18-month aged Parma ham. Bar nibbles bring Bruschetta with porcini and truffle paste, crispy Calamari, and Arancini filled with buffalo mozzarella.
The wood-fired oven does double duty, turning out baked dishes like the classic Lasagna and Eggplant Parmigiana alongside a full pizza menu. The signature La Nonna pizza combines tomato, mozzarella, parmesan, asparagus, egg and black truffle paste, while the Nera brings squid ink, prawns, scallops and calamari together, and a Vegetariana option is available for vegan diners.
On the Primi side, house-made pasta takes centre stage — Taglierini Al Tartufo with shiitake mushrooms and black truffle cream, Ravioli Della Nonna filled with lobster, and Pappardelle Coda Di Blue built around a slow-cooked oxtail ragout. Mains (Secondi) lean into hearty, elegant plates: oven-baked Porchetta Di Maiale, foil-wrapped Spigola Al Cartoccio sea bass, a Beef Rib-Eye (Manzo), and a Grilled Lamb Rack (Agnello). Dolci closes the meal with Venetian Tiramisu, chocolate Lava Cake, and homemade Apple and Lemon Tarts, alongside Gelati and Sorbetti by the scoop.
La Nonna's wine list is curated to elevate its cuisine, featuring Italian favourites alongside select French and Australian labels chosen to pair naturally with the food — from a Prosecco and Moscato D'Asti by the glass through to bottles like Barolo, Brunello Di Montalcino, and Amarone. Beyond wine, the bar offers Italian beers like Peroni, classic cocktails, and signature aperitifs including Campari and Martini, a gentle nod to Italy's relaxed drinking culture. Happy Hour runs daily from 5:30pm to 8pm, with a Prosecco-and-light-bites set and discounted beer and wine by the glass.
