Read moreAt Nonna Mercato, we bring together the warmth of tradition and the creativity of a chefs kitchen to create an experience rooted in comfort, craft, and community. Located in the heart of Bixby Knolls, Long Beach, our all-day café, bakery, and market celebrates the rustic elegance of French and Italian cuisine—one handmade dish at a time.
Founded by Chef Cameron Slaugh. Nonna Mercato is inspired by the timeless meals prepared by grandmothers (“nonnas”) across Europe—thoughtful, simple, and made with love. We blend that heritage with California’s vibrant produce and a passion for hospitality to bring something special to the table every day.
From naturally leavened breads and buttery croissants, to fresh handmade pastas and seasonal breakfast and lunch offerings, every item on our menu is made in-house with intention. Whether you’re stopping in for a morning pastry and espresso, a leisurely lunch on our patio, or our seasonal prix-fixe dinner experience in the summer, Nonna Mercato offers a slice of comfort with every bite.
More than just a restaurant, we’re also a neighborhood market—offering house-made pantry items, fresh pastas, curated wines, and sweets from our in-house bakery.
We believe in good food, shared stories, and the joy of gathering.
