Ambiance: it is a family-operated restaurant offering bright, vibrant, and colorful dishes, accented by the flavors of Italy and Mexico, Jonathan is Italian and George is Mexican, and they created NANAS Service: it's nice talking with one of the owners, I have learnt that this place has shared kitchen with other business, so no dining table setup, only available for pickup or delivery, which allow them to control the overhead cost at a minimum level and also could contribute more to the food ingredients Food: simple menu items, being cooked from scratch Turkey Meatballs - **** 4 Meatballs served in NANAS Tomato Sauce, the meatball is so juicy and tender, perfectly to combine with any pasta too, recommend Price: very generous portions and quite affordable prices, about $15~$20 per person for a fulfilling meal

I read about it in a local forum and decided to give it a try. I went to pick it up, and met the owner Jonathan,, who was a gem! The food was delicious, I highly recommend! I can't wait to order again ASAP!

10/10 Loved NANAS! Some of the best food I've ever had! Their jalapeño pesto pasta and chicken parmesan was amazing, but their meatballs were my absolute favorite. It's been weeks since I've had them and I still think about them! Jonathan and George were so nice and exuded amazing service, I cannot wait to go back and have all my family and friends try their food as well!

It is a little tricky finding Nanas as they are tucked away in the back corner of a business park. Nanas has delicious meatballs in flavorful tomato sauce! I still remember the basil and romano. They are not just little meatballs, but a nice size that is almost filling. This dish was part of a yelp Elite perk. When we were in the area, we called ahead and picked them up about 20 or so minutes later. George, the co-owner was there to receive us. He is friendly and super kind. This was on a weeknight shortly after they opened for the evening at 4:30pm. We actually had a big lunch earlier in the day so, we held off on ordering any other items. We will be sure though to try more dishes another time. I believe there is a yelp check-in offer as well. All the best to Nanas!

Such great food! Chatted with the owners and had a beautiful hand written note thanking us for trying them out. Would highly encourage everyone to give them a shot! Love finding new food options in the South Bay!

This was my first time having turkey meatballs and I was surprised it still satisfied my craving for meatballs. They were incredibly juicy and flavorful and paired perfectly with the pasta. The lemon flavor in the pasta made it less heavy, but my only complaint is the overwhelming amount of oil at the bottom of the bowl as the pasta retained too much.

It's tough starting a business during the pandemic but their location doesn't offer them any favors either. They don't offer dine-in due to their location but I highly recommend checking this place out. I got the meatballs and it was delicious. I thought the portion size would be small but the meatballs were pretty big. The meatballs were dunked in the sauce which was super flavorful. I would definitely check this place out and order something else next time.

Completely cashless and only takeout orders for now. The only way to order food is to place an order via their website online. I was amazed at how cool the website was; I could even use Apple Pay via my phone!I like how they have cool pasta options with all the ridges to hold all the sauce. I chose cavatappi to get some fun twists with NANAS tomato sauce.The turkey meatballs are AMAZING. Such great flavor and nice and dense.Portions are huge and sized for sharing. Super friendly service.

The story of Jonathan and George is super sweet and I wish them the best on their journey to a brick and motar space!!So glad I was able to make it to this event! They are currently located in an industrial plaza in Redondo Beach, but are making food that deserves it's own places in a bustling area. Their Signature Meatballs are definitely a highlight! So delish and perfect cooked filled with flavors all throughout. The sauce is light, but so bold and flavorful. The meatball itself is savory and super juicy!! Definitely some of the most pristine and well-balanced meatballs I have ever eaten.I also added their Shrimp Ceviche to-go as well. While I enjoyed it, I felt it was more of a slaw than a ceviche dish. I wish there was more shrimp throughout, but it was still good. There were a lot of savory and herbal elements with some sweet notes and spicy hits. You definitely want to eat this as fresh as possible otherwise you're fresh tortilla chips will get soggy.All in all, I'm excited for them to continue to expand and next time around I gotta try out one of their pasta dishes!!
roadtripping across the US and stopped here on a whim. Absolutely amazing food. I may have to stop by again before i leave.

This place was fantastic. When I entered I was immediately greeted by Jonathan who is the owner. Couldn't be sweeter. I was there for a Yelp Elite event and I'm so glad that this was part of it. The event gave us free turkey meatballs but with a Yelp check-in that anyone can do, you got 50% off any order of a pasta dish so of course I took advantage of the opportunity. I asked Jonathan for his opinion between the jalapeno pasta and the pink sauce because I was looking for something spicy and after he gave the descriptions which both sounded amazing I went with the jalapeno one because it seemed just a bit lighter for what I was looking for. However I can't wait to go back and try the pink sauce pasta along with other items on their menu because it all looks so good!

Location is unexpected as it is in a business complex. They are part of a co-op kitchen so there is no dining in. Came here to try the meatballs and they were SO GOOD. Large, saucy, flavorful and juicy. I was shockingly pretty full after the 4 meatballs too! They are also turkey meatballs so healthier as well. Can't wait to return to try other items! The chef prepared them for me and was very sweet and friendly. I hope they can open a restaurant soon!

Jonathan is so kind and definitely is an expert on the menu! I walked in around 5pm and the wait was not long at all. He definitely made the process feel super easy! He was willing to help us understand the menu and told us about the different types of pasta they offer. My personal favorite has to be the meatballs with the rigatoni Spicy Creamy Pink Sauce. Jonathan was able to decrease the spice level because my sister cannot handle spice lol Overall, 5 stars for amazing service and even more delicious food!

Have you ever wished you had a place that served meatballs so good and tasty you can write home about? Look no further, Nana's is it! And to top it off, they're turkey meatballs! We came here as part of a Yelp Elite event so I received a free order of their turkey meatballs (comes with 4 balls) and in addition to it, we also ordered their jalapeno pesto with cavatappi pasta and the chicken parmesan. Every single dish was so layered with flavor and LOVE. The turkey meatballs to start were so smooth and creamy, and the marinara sauce was the perfect flavor, not too acidic or too sweet. Their chicken parmesan was actually a decent portion and filled us up but had the same delicious marinara sauce. I also never thought jalapeno would go well with pesto, but apparently it works and even boosts the flavor with a spice kick. We are pretty big eaters but between the 2 of us, the 3 dishes was more than enough to provided us each with a 2nd meal. Their location is pretty interesting. They're in a business/industrial park in the far back corner. It looks like they're part of a co-op kitchen with another business and operate solely on delivery particularly with food delivery apps. There isn't really any seating, except for a small table in their lobby that you could eat at. Service was impeccable and they even included a cute handwritten note with a coupon code attached to it. I definitely recommend coming to check this place out, particularly for take-out or even to have food catered.
