Nona Mia Italian Kitchen is the latest brainchild of chef Peter Affatato, who helped develop other well-known Asheville restaurants such as Savoy, and Nona Mia Italian Kitchen is the latest brainchild of chef Peter Affatato, who helped develop other well-known Asheville restaurants such as Savoy, and created the original 28806 Deli, Bakery and Caterers. Nona Mia, meaning my grandmother, takes its inspiration from the Italian-American cuisine developed by generations of immigrants, and practiced in the kitchens around and in which Peter grew up. The Italian-American tradition in food weds the centuries-old genius of Old-World cuisine with New-World ingredients and modern panache, creating what Peter terms Italian-American soul food. Unique, Sicilian-style pizza and artisan sandwiches share pride of place with classics like Fettucini Alfredo, Lasagne, Chicken Piccata, and Nona's Penne with Sunday Gravy. New specials are offered weekly.
