WE AIN'T NONNA'S! It's a simple as that. We love and appreciate all the Nonna's out there and the beautiful food they create. We don't want to compete with your Nonna's cooking, so we won't.

This is our take on home style Italian cooking.

    Such a lovely night! We got the feed me and dietaries were well catered for with no fuss! Everything came out in such a well timed manner and all the flavours were so delicious! Additionally, it was such a wonderful experience to be seated at the communal table, very lively and added to the ambience of the night! Thank you both front and back of house for a wonderful night!

    What a great dinner with a group of friends. The courtyard area was comfortable and even warm in winter. Highlight of the night was the good and very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great value for money. We will be back.

    We had the feed me option, great value for money, entrees, pasta, main & dessert! The foccacia is light and tasty, pasta delicious, shoestring fries great and the gelato devine. Good service and ambience and great food will definitely go back.

    Always a great meal at Ain’t Nona’s. The food was delicious and the service great. Some new items in the menu - verde pasta and marinated peppers were great.
