Nonna’s Italian American Café
Owners Shawn and Allison Kraft on Jan. 6 added a second Nonna’s Italian American Café at 3512 S. National Ave. The 3,800-square-foot establishment is the former home of Schultz & Dooley’s Too. The building is owned by South National Centers LLC and managed by Sperry Van Ness/Rankin Co. “We just had a lot of interest and requests from people saying that we should expand to the south side,” said Allison Kraft, a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu culinary school. The new location features the same traditional Italian-American menu as the 306 South Ave. eatery, emphasizing soups, salads and pastas. Kraft said the south-side Nonna’s seats 92 with a side room for 54. Hours: 11 a.m.–9 p.m. Monday, 11 a.m.–10 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and noon–9 p.m. Sunday. Phone: (417) 890-8300.
