Nonnina is an upscale River North Italian eatery, blending classic dishes with a cozy atmosphere, outdoor seating, and even a menu for your pooch.
"This Italian restaurant in River North is another spot with a special dog menu. So while you eat chicken parmesan or pappardelle with beef ragu, your dog can have crisp pork belly with peas and carrots. They even have a pumpkin puppuccino made with pumpkin puree, cinnamon, and whipped cream." - adrian kane
"Where to start! This is the friendliest, most welcoming (and delicious!) deli you'll ever go to. By the time you leave, you'll feel like you're part of the family. The menu is filled with authentic cuban cuisine, featuring a few select sandwiches, empanadas, and drinks. Our favorite is El Cubanito sandwich, with eggs, cheese, black beans, and sweet plantains. Order it with ham and avocado to get the full, sensory experience - it's pretty amazing. Don't miss out on the hibiscus lemonade either, it's the perfect partner to just about anything you'll order." - Serafini Creative
