All-day breakfast, seafood, po' boys, & homemade pastries
"Chef Shermond Esteen Jr.’s delightful homestyle restaurant is in a new Mid-City home on historic Bayou Road. It’s better than ever with new digs, serving fluffy French toast, fragrant with cinnamon, steak and eggs, shrimp and grits, breakfast burritos, and more. Also, that’s turkey or beef sausage on the plate; no pork is served at this friendly spot. Bottomless mimosas on Sundays." - Beth D’Addono
"I stop at Nonno’s for early breakfast from 6 a.m., where shrimp and grits and eggs done every which way are offered; the all-day menu kicks in at 2 p.m. with seafood rolls, charbroiled oysters, fried seafood, and po’ boys, cocktails are served from open to close, and note the $40 jazz brunch with Charmaine Neville (reservations required)." - Beth D’Addono
"Chef Shermond Esteen Jr., who now has not one but two Nonno’s locations, on Dauphine in the Marigny and at 2517 Bayou Road off Broad, makes a mean jambalaya from a recipe he learned from his mama. Since he doesn’t fool with pork, his version has beef sausage and chicken. Breakfast is a big thing here too." - Beth D’Addono
"Tailgating out of a compact car for two? Consider Nonno’s $21 (plus tax/tip) football platter. The party comes with jambalaya, six fried wings, four deviled eggs, and four finger sandwiches. Add in a few seafood egg rolls, because they are so good. Order at least an hour in advance of pickup or a day in advance for larger groups." - Beth D’Addono
"Chef Shermond Esteen is drawing crowds to his relocated Nonno’s in the Marigny, with its all-day breakfast, chargrilled oysters, and oversized fried shrimp platters. The catfish is good too, even better served with red beans and rice and a crispy piece of beef sausage on a Monday. No pork here, ever." - Beth D’Addono
