This place seems somewhat new in business, this year. I am giving a good rating because it was good dinner. We had a veggie pizza with vegan cheese and red sauce. The service from employees was excellent. We arrived about 730pm and they were out of dough, so we had to get the cauliflower crust. I'm no expert but I'd challenge the business to have a little more on hand. I'm unaware of course of the cost of making too much or if it's usable for anything the next day. But its something to consider. I also wish there were a little more options for vegans. I came to order the eggplant parm with vegan cheese, but learned its not possible. I was surprised to hear the chocolate Gelato was naturally vegan. The eat in area is small but efficient with plates and paper items provided. The outdoors area was nice. We played a little Italian music low on our phone and enjoyed a nice pizza.

A fantastic new gem in Carlisle! I treated myself to a mouthwatering pepperoni thin crust pizza adorned with savory mushrooms that was an absolute delight. The Tiramisu paired with a rich espresso was truly the perfect ending. What made the experience even more wonderful was the personalized service by the owner, Mattio, who went above and beyond. Not only did he serve with a warm smile, but he also shared some incredible travel recommendations for Italy, adding an extra touch of hospitality to the meal.

Pizza was made-to-order right in front of us, and was delicious, as were the cannoli, tiramisu and espresso. Mattio the owner is personable and kind - he even gave us travel recommendations for Italy 😁 definitely will be back!

Passing through Carlisle and wasn't sure what to expect for the size of the shop. Very inviting atmosphere for a consolidated eatery. The desserts looked amazing but I'm limiting my sweet tooth but I included pictures for others' temptation. I selected a turkey panini and was delightfuly surprised as different flavors came through each bite. This was more than just layers placed on bread, there was some flavorful artistry that left me wanting more. It may be easy to miss this little shop but I assure you that you don't want to. I opted for the outdoor seating because the indoor were bar seating only. What Nona Ilva lacks in size, it makes up for in flavor.

The pizza is delicious 🤩 tried out the puffed pastry, great custard, light and so so good! Can’t wait to go back for more.
Server was great and helpful.
