Tucked away in Altamonte Springs’ quiet Prairie Lake Plaza is one of Orlando’s most delicious, garlic-scented hidden gems: Nonno’s Italian Restaurant. Nonno’s is—simply put—charming. Within the cozy interior featuring photos of Italian food on the walls and relaxed seating, diners find the perfect spot to enjoy an Italian meal. But even more charming than the restaurant itself is the team behind it.

The LaCommare family isn’t new to serving Central Florida. Prior to Nonno’s, the LaCommares ran three different spots; most recently, Stefano’s Trattoria in Winter Springs. But with 175 seats and a local following, it quickly became more than they expected.
