Nonna Emilia (Nonna is Italian for Grandmother) grew up in Florence, Italy where her mother and grandmother taught her to cook in the family café. In 1921, Nonna Emilia left Italy on a steamship for North America, and six years later opened one of Portland’s first authentic Italian restaurants with her husband, Ernie Ceccanti. Nonna always insisted on using the finest ingredients when she prepared

her specialties, which is a tradition we continue to this day. All of our sauces are made from scratch, using our own blended spices, and slow simmered for hours - just like Nonna taught us. All of our dough is made from scratch, and all of our bread is baked in-house. Nonna took great pride in always serving enormous portions of every entrée she prepared, and this is a tradition we hold dear! In the family tradition, Nonna Emilia passed her recipes, lessons and traditions from “The Old Country” down to the restaurant that bears her name. Our Family continues the culinary example set by Nonna Emilia, and prepare her authentic Italian recipes with that same pride. Buon-Appetito,

🍕 Family Pizza Night Just Got Better ❤️

When you’re feeding a family, every slice (and every dollar) matters.

Some places offer a 13" “large” starting at $19.95 and a 16" “giant” at $27.95…

At Nonna Emilia’s, we believe families deserve more:

✔️ 14" Medium starting at just $16
✔️ 18" Large starting at only $24

That means more slices to share, more smiles around the table, and better value for your family night out. 🏡🍕

Made with care, served with heart—just like Nonna would do.

Bring the family and make it a night to remember. ❤️✨

The restaurant industry has always been about adapting—from handwritten tickets to POS systems, online ordering, and social media. Now, the next big shift is here: AI.

We're excited to start exploring how AI can help us work smarter, serve our guests better, and continue growing while staying true to the homemade Italian experience you know and love.

As entrepreneur Mark Cuban put it:

"There's going to be two types of companies in this world: Those who are great at AI, and everybody else that they put out of business."

Change can be intimidating, but it also brings opportunity. At Nonna Emilia's, we're embracing the future while keeping the traditions that make us who we are.
