Little NOnna's - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Here's an East Coast gem that sticks to the classic Italian formula: hearty, homey and generous. Go on Sunday, when it's Sunday gravy all day, until the restaurant runs out. The comforting and delicious sauce is made with San Marzano tomatoes, slowly braised beef shortrib, BVP (beef, veal, pork) meatballs, hot fennel sausage and broccoli rabe, then served atop the day's macaroni and meats on the side. It's the kind of meal that makes us wish we all had Italian grandmas.
