De La Nonna Expands to Big Bear With a Dramatic Lakeside View | Eater LA

"Located just yards from the water with massive floor-to-ceiling windows facing north, this lakeside outpost brings one of Los Angeles’s most popular menus to Big Bear. The offering includes hits such as focaccia sandwiches, whipped eggplant dip, salads, and thick, rectangular Sicilian-style pizzas, plus new additions like tinned fish with butter crackers, a chopped ocean smoked trout dip, and rotating soft-serve flavors finished with Maldon salt and olive oil. The kitchen plans to keep a seasonal approach (no crudos for now). The wine list highlights biodynamic and organic small producers, and the cocktail program is tailored for both summer and ski seasons with items like a frozen Aperol spritz and an espresso martini; there’s also an orange bitter soda with zero-proof sparkling wine and Skyduster Italian Pils on draft. The restaurant seats roughly 120 diners and operates daily with extended hours on weekends." - Mona Holmes
