The Tweeter Center may be Mansfield’s biggest draw, but if Trattoria della Nonna could seat more than sixty, the crowds might get just as big. Chef-owner Ken DeFazio, using farm fresh dairy and produce, and the finest meat, game and seafood, pays a loving (and delicious) culinary tribute to his grandmother recreating her authentic Calabrian cuisine.

The unassuming spot on North Main Street has a warm, familial, old world feel, pictures of Nonna abound and the exposed brick walls are adorned with cooking utensils that could have come straight from Nonna’s kitchen – just like the food.
