Nonna Ina Italian Restaurant
Family-owned Sicilian restaurant on Valley View Drive, run by an Italian family and built as an intimate dining room rather than a large one.
The cooking is regional rather than generic Italian-American, and the plating is deliberate; carbonara finished tableside inside a wheel of cheese is among the dishes it is known for. Valley View runs through the Green Valley area on the west side of the city.
Worth knowing
Sicilian cooking is distinct from the northern Italian repertoire that shaped most American-Italian menus — it carries Arab and Greek influence, leans on seafood, citrus, capers and eggplant, and uses comparatively little of the cream and butter that define the north. Finishing pasta inside a hollowed wheel of hard cheese is a tableside technique in which the residual heat of the pasta melts the interior of the wheel and coats the strands as they are tossed.
