With it’s intricately designed exterior and located on the main road heading into Wimbledon town centre, La Nonna Italian restaurant is very inviting! It doesn’t dissapoint once you enter the restaurant with it’s interior decoration providing a warm, relaxed ambiance for couples and groups alike. Staff are friendly and attentive and the menu offers a variety of dishes to suit all tastes. I have visited La Nonna several times now and athough I’ve enjoyed my experience on each occassion the food has unfortunately let me down more and more each time. Although the pizzas are pretty tasty, we unfortunately found pasta and meat dishes to be unsatisfactory to the point where my partner didn’t eat more than half his dinner last time! Nice and maybe worth a try but not highly recommended!

This is a friendly, family-run Italian restaurant on The Broadway, towards South Wimbledon. It does a good range of traditional Italian dishes, including pizza, pasta, meat and fish. Portions are generous, (you'll struggle with more than two courses) and while it is a little more expensive than some places, the food is both well prepared and authentic.

Starters range from £4.50 for Bruschetta to £8.95 for King Tiger Prawns in garlic; pasta and pizza range from £6.95 to £9.50, and meat and fish dishes cost £11.95 - £17.95. Children's pasta and pizza portions are available for £5.00. Expect a two-course meal for two with wine and coffee to come to about £25-£35 a head, depending on the selection. The full menu is on the web-site, so you can plan ahead.

Service is very attentive (and can feel a little too much so) but is also efficient and friendly. The only downside is the decor, which feels remarkably like a chain restaurant, but don't let that put you off. It can also get very busy on Friday and Saturday evenings (I suggest booking ahead), and caters for groups, so it's perhaps not the choice for an intimate meal for two. But it's one of my favourites in the area during the week.
