"Owner Cameron Slaugh spent ample time in the kitchens of Osteria La Buca and Eleven Madison Park before opening the Attic in Long Beach and most recently, Nonna Mercato. Part bread bakery, part patisserie, and part coffee shop, Nonna Mercato is an excellent weekend daytime hangout with Roman-style pizzas; meatballs and arancini; salads; homemade pastas (gluten-free pastas can be substituted for a $3 additional charge); panini; and classic brunch dishes like quiche, steak frites, and baked eggs." - Mona Holmes
