“Future brides looking for a wedding venue in LA -- DO IT!!! I got married here on May 3rd, 2025, and I truly cannot rave enough about De La Nonna and The Let's Go Disco. We had a 120-person wedding and used both spaces -- De La Nonna for our ceremony and reception, and The Let's Go Disco for the after-party. From the very beginning, the team was incredibly accommodating to all of our (many) creative requests. My husband is an illustrator and designer, so we created a fully custom escort wall where every guest was drawn by hand with their table number on the back. The team happily stored away and rearranged furniture to give us space between the two venues to make it happen. In addition to the escort wall, we brought in some rentals like a photobooth, a heart-shaped arch, larger tables and chairs -- not because we needed to (they already had great options), but because we wanted big tables. They accommodated everything with no issues and no hidden charges, truly allowing us to transform the space into exactly what we envisioned. We also wanted a champagne tower, and they had no problem letting us bring in a vendor -- they even helped serve champagne pre-ceremony so guests had drinks while they waited. They provided two DJs, both of whom were amazing -- and if you can request DJ Seano, DO IT. He was truly incredible and MC'd our ceremony moments and wedding speeches flawlessly, collaborating with us to make sure the vibes were exactly what we wanted and that our favorite songs were played all night long. The food was INCREDIBLE and this is another reason we wanted to do it here. Literally every single guest came up to us to tell us how incredible it was - the salads, the pizza, the oysters - everything was PERFECTION. Our day flowed seamlessly from pre-ceremony champagne service, to ceremony, to cocktail hour with amazing hors d'oeuvres, to our dinner reception (complete with speeches and a family tradition game of bingo), and then into The Let's Go Disco for our first dance, cake cutting, and an unforgettable party. We were a little nervous about getting married in DTLA, especially for out-of-town guests unfamiliar with the area, but between the Arts District's private security and the two dedicated security guards provided by De La Nonna/The Let's Go Disco, everyone felt completely safe and taken care of and we had zero issues!!! What truly made this experience exceptional, beyond the food and the chic, beautiful space, was the staff. From planning through the wedding day itself, they were thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure everything felt special and seamless. As I was walking down the aisle, I made eye contact with one of the staff members -- and she was crying!! That moment says everything. I truly cannot imagine a better place to get married in Los Angeles. Thank you to everyone -- and especially Jose, Mia, and Patrick -- for making all of our wedding dreams come true.”
“De La Nonna is a phenomenal spot with immaculate vibes and delicious pizza! We make it a point to eat here every time we’re in town. From the friendly service and beautiful seating space, to the delightful cocktails and fresh pizzas, I’m always eager to go back! On our most recent trip we enjoyed quite the spread! The burrata and focaccia with fig appetizer was delicious, the Bluefin Tuna app was cold and fresh and the egg plant caponata was fun and spicy! There were pizza options for everyone at the table; crispy pepperoni, a white style pizza and the margarita pizza, nonna style, with peppers baked into the crust! This all paired well with espresso martinis and the ol’ fashie, of course! This is a low maintenance, casual yet ethereal must eat spot in the arts district!! Be sure to stop by!”
“Well, I can’t believe I’m giving a pizza joint in the art district 5 stars but it’s impossible not to! This place serves up some of the best pizza I’ve had anywhere— and if you follow me, I eat a lot of pizza! They serve these rectangular thick slices with a rather thin crispy crust with a fluffy midsection leading to the toppings. I can’t imagine having a bad slice. The pepperoni was amazing and so was the sausage. Four an appetizer I had the Artichoke Giudia — a dish I eat daily in Rome and basically a fried artichoke Jewish style. This one was a fantastic example with a little American inspiration and a terrific dipping sauce. The salad was great and I’d have to get both of them again when I go back. I had a reasonable priced bottle of wine that was a full liter. I think they called it. The pizza wine, about 70 bucks a bottle. You order at the counter, grab a seat and they bring it to you. I think they would do well to make it full wait service, where you can order your table. It’s a trendy cozy little restaurant that’s quite comfortable and a bit romantic. Highly recommended. I’ll be back very soon.”
“The pizza is incredible!! I do not know the last time I have had pizza that tasted so good. Crispy crust, soft dough, delicious toppings. As a group we ordered the speical for $79 which was a deal. Salad, 2 pizzas & a bottle of wine! Ordered 2 apps and all 4 of us were STUFFED. We each paid about $35 well worth it. We danced it off next door with the live music! Oh we also found street parking! Perfect night out!”
“This place is fantastic. I love the vibes of the interior and outdoor patio. My only gripe is how loud the music is inside. I'm so glad we chose to sit outside but the inside is so gorgeous that the music really drowns out the aesthetic. We started with the kanpachi crudo which was pretty disappointing. The sauce was a basic lime citrus, there was hardly a sesame flavor and the pomegranates didn't add much. The kanpachi was way too firm and not a softer meat like it should be and lacked flavor itself. But the saving grace was the star of the show - the pizzas. We ordered a margherita nonna style and the market special which today was the carbonara. the crust on both is phenomenal! So crispy crunchy on the exterior with a chewy airy interior that is doughy but light. It's truly a fantastic crust. The margherita was executed perfectly but the nonna style which is just a calabrian chili paste on top isn't really worth the $2 extra. It's a decent flavor but not so much that it's needed. And that carbonara special was to die for. The golden yolks perfect to creamy perfection, the super crunchy lardon with that meaty taste, the cheesy richness of the sauce, slight kick from the pepper - this was outstanding. So although a few minor mishaps, the pizza is amazing and I would return over and over again for that”
