Nonna Maria Monaco – Neapolitan Comfort for Vegetarian Palates

by Salome

In a quiet corner of Monte-Carlo, Nonna Maria offers an intimate escape into the heart of Naples. This warm, family-style trattoria is named in honor of a Neapolitan grandmother, and the menu reflects that legacy — full of honest, traditional recipes served with care.

Though known for its slow-proofed pizza and southern Italian favorites, Nonna Maria also offers a range of vegetarian options that don’t feel like an afterthought. This is comfort food with soul — and plenty of olive oil.

What to Try (Vegetarian Highlights)

  • La Parmigiana di Sasà – Layers of baked eggplant, zucchini, tomato sauce, and fiordilatte cheese. A rustic, slow-cooked classic.
  • Bruschetta al Pomodoro – Grilled bread topped with chopped tomato, basil, and extra virgin olive oil. Simple, bright, and perfect to share.
  • Spaghetti Aglio e Olio – Garlic, chili, and parsley tossed in olive oil. Naturally vegan and full of flavor.
  • Pizza Margherita – The Neapolitan standard: San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and basil on soft, airy dough.
  • Pizza Marinara – A no-cheese pizza made with garlic, oregano, tomato, and olive oil. Vegan, bold, and true to Naples.

The staff are happy to accommodate vegetarian requests and adjust dishes where possible.

  • Many dishes are naturally vegetarian — no compromise, no substitutions.
  • Fresh, seasonal produce and high-quality pantry staples.
  • Neapolitan pizza with 48-hour fermented dough, cooked to perfection.
  • Welcoming, informal atmosphere perfect for an easy lunch or relaxed dinner.
