Last Saturday while sourcing a new eatery for our usual weekend brunch as well as an early celebration for my boy’s birthday, we decided to pop over one of
La Nonna’s branch which is located in Holland Village. Upon arrived, the outlook of the restaurant give us a warm and homely feel with friendly staff bringing us to our seats.

If you are curious like us,
La Nonna meaning "
The Grandmother" in Italian and it serves traditional Italian country cuisine.

[La Nonna @ Holland Village] Stone Pizza Oven |
At their indoor seating area, I am surprise to see this stone pizza oven located at one corner of the restaurants. And from my observation, it seems like most of the tables ordered their signature thin-crusted
La Nonna Pizza which is topped with Mozzarella, Parmesan, Egg, Black Truffle and etc. So I guess I would be back again to try their freshly made pizza with more friends so that we could order a few of their flavour for sharing.

[La Nonna @ Holland Village] Beverages |
The isn't much choices of beverages at La Nonna as they focus mainly on wine and champagne so we end up having
Ginger Ale and
Cranberry Juice which cost
SG$4.50++ each. Alternatively you can also get their complimentary
ice water and save a few dollars for coffee at one of the cafes along the stretch.

While waiting for our orders to be served, the waiter bought over a complimentary basket of warm bread (
ciabatta bread roll and flat bread wedges) together with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. The bread rolls were soft and fragrant to be eaten on its own or you can dip it with some mixture of the vinegar and olive oil for better flavour.
|
[La Nonna @ Holland Village] Soup of the Day - Cream of Totmato |
For starter I ordered a small bowl of soup which was
Cream of Tomato (
SG$ 11.00++ [small]; SG$16.00++ [large]) on that week special. Although it might sounds “small” but trust me it was enough to feed two people and you can enjoy it with the complimentary bread too. Honestly we do love their tomato soup which was rich, creamy and flavoursome and I love that extra drizzle of olive oil on top.

[La Nonna @ Holland Village] Our Main Course |
|
[La Nonna @ Holland Village] Agnello - Pan-seared Lamb Rack |
D ordered
Agnello (
SG$33.00++) which is pan-seared lamb rack with mashed potatoes and brown sauce. The lamb was surprisingly good and tender on medium and it goes well with the brown sauce that was not too overpowering.
|
[La Nonna @ Holland Village] Merluzzo - Pan-fried Cod Fish |
My choice of
Merluzzo (
SG$33.00++) is pan-fried cod fish with mashed potato, broccoli and salad greens. Although the fish might be small in portion but overall it was still quite filling after having it together with the sides. But the downside was the piece of cod that I had that day seems to be a little chewy rather than silky smooth texture.
|
[La Nonna @ Holland Village] Tiramisu |
If you are one of those dessert fans, I would like to recommend you to try their homemade
Tiramisu (
SG$12++) which is good. After all I never leave an Italian restaurant without trying their tiramisu. I love the creamy texture and distinct flavour of the coffee soaked sponge which make this dessert a blissful treat.
|
[La Nonna @ Holland Village] Lemon Tart Meringue |
Lemon Tart Meringue (
SG$13.00++) on the other side was rather “sweet” for my liking. Don’t really fancy the soggy, creamy texture of the meringue but the short crust tart base was rather good when eaten together with the lemon fillings.
Overall this two-story restaurant serves quite decent country style Italian cuisine with good choices from starter, main to dessert. Furthermore you can either dine-in at their outdoor area to enjoy the evening breeze or tug into a corner at level 2 for balcony seating with better views. Besides if you are looking for lunch deals, do check out their weekday
3-courses lunch special too.
