About Trattoria Nonna
Tucked into the Joo Chiat / Katong stretch, Trattoria Nonna is a neighbourhood trattoria that trades in rustic Italian comfort food — think slow-braised ossobuco, ziti in Genovese sauce and house tiramisu. The fit-out is warm and unpretentious with wood tables, tiled floors and an open kitchen where you can see pasta being stretched and sauces simmering.
The crowd is a mix of East Coast families on weekend dinners, couples looking for a casual date night and office workers seeking a heartier alternative to CBD lunch spots. Locals treat it as a reliable spot for weekend brunch and celebratory meals; the wine list and shareable plates make it popular for small group gatherings.
Although firmly Italian in its cooking, Trattoria Nonna feels very Singaporean in how it sits in the neighbourhood fabric — an antidote to mall dining and a cosy option away from hawker centre bustle. Expect weekday lunch sets and long, leisurely dinners over wine; it's a comfy choice whether you're grabbing a solo pasta at lunch, bringing the family for Sunday supper, or meeting friends for after-work drinks and small plates.
