De La Nonna

When the pandemic hit longtime friends Patrick Costa, Jose Cordon, and Lee Zaremba were in totally different places; Costa cooking at Tartine, Cordon working as the Bar Manager at Felix, and Zaremba in Chicago working as the Bar Director for the Boka Group. Cordon and Costa had been kicking around the idea of an Italian concept that would offer an alternative to the more expensive patio dining options in the LA area. Collaborating on their passion for familial hospitality, crave-able food, memorable cocktails, and natural wine, they forged a path in a time when everyone needed a seat at “Nonna's table”. “De La Nonna” (From The Grandma), is a play on the combination of Costa’s and Cordon’s Italian and Latin heritage and the idea of Italian soul food that your Nonna would approve of. After successfully popping up at various locations throughout Los Angeles over the last year, the Nonna team has brought their dream to life with a brick-and-mortar space in the Arts District!
