What happened after Food Paradise?

Food Paradise's 'Neighborhood Hangouts' episode featured Little Nonna's, an Italian-American restaurant from chefs Marcie Turney and Valerie Safran in Philadelphia's Midtown Village. The 40-seat dining room is designed to evoke an Italian grandmother's living room, with vintage lace curtains, antique copper pots, and homestyle dishes served alongside an all-Italian wine list. The restaurant has operated at 1234 Locust Street since opening under Turney and Safran. A Yelp listing updated 2026-08 showed the restaurant still active, with more than 1,500 reviews and photos posted through that month. Little Nonna's own website, last modified 2026-05-28 according to server records, listed Sunday dinner hours of 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. and an online ordering option. Tripadvisor and OpenTable also carried current listings for the restaurant during the same period, with no closure or ownership change reported anywhere.
