Nonna Mia opens in Midtown
June 22nd, 2009 by Cliff Bostock in Restaurants
We visited the new Nonna Mia (960 Piedmont Ave., 404-532-2815) recently. This restaurant, part of a new chain started in New Orleans, is located in a building that has not had a good track record since the Big Red Tomato left it years ago.
Nonna Mia is something of a return to the Tomato’s style with a menu that’s heavy on New York-style Italian. By far the best thing we ordered was the appetizer, “Divine Portobello” (above), with grilled chicken breast, spinach and a red-pepper sauce complementing sliced portobellos.
We also ordered this red pizza, topped with kalamata olives, sardine-sized slices of prosciutto and mozzarella. But, look, Ma! No char!
More in Grazing later this week.

Went to Varasano’s on Saturday night. It was the best experience yet. Everything was consistent- first time. Good all around service- first time. All of my dinner guest had a great time, and for many of them it was their first time there.
