I did not expect to find one of the best Italian restaurants in India in Shillong… but here we are.
Nonna Mei, located in Shillong, Meghalaya, is redefining Italian food in India with a strong focus on technique, ingredients, and simplicity. Started by the team behind Bombay Daak and Ekaa, this place is all about authentic flavours over theatrics.
The biggest highlight? The bread. Thanks to Shillong’s climate, which is surprisingly similar to Tuscany, fermentation works beautifully here resulting in some of the best sourdough and table bread you’ll find in India.
From handcrafted pastas to delicate salads, every dish feels thoughtfully made and deeply rooted in Italian tradition. And the experience goes beyond food they even walk you through their kitchen and ingredients, making it one of the most unique dining experiences in Shillong.
If you’re exploring food travel in India, hidden restaurants, or where to eat in Shillong, this is a must-visit.
