Grandma's recipe book is making a comeback at Nonna's Table and we couldn't be happier. Say hello to Italian comfort food in the form of cheesy pizzas, bowls of steaming pasta and nibbly bits that'll leave you wanting more.

Located in artsy East Vancouver, this family-friendly restaurant has an informal setup with simple furnishings and barely-there decor. Free of all pretentiousness, the comforting food does all the talking.

Old-school favourites shine bright on the menu at Nonna's, with carbonara, bolognese and chicken and bacon alfredo serving pasta deliciousness, while pizzas come with classic toppings like the napoletana and diavola. Try Nonna's specialist pizza that comes with prosciutto, argula and fior di latte.

And with numerous household names like Goose Island and Peroni on draught, make it a laid back affair or make it summer with a dazzlingly orange Aperol Spritz.
