Can’t recommend Nonna Tina’s enough! We had the team come in to do our office lunch. Amazing delicious Italian flavours all wrapped up in a buttery flakey pastry. The team was great to work with and organised the set up very swiftly. Huge thumbs up from everyone in the office.

Korina Maralit, Office Manager at ITSM

Thank you for the delicious pies you supplied for our Nedd’s Milk event in Bondi on Sunday!
The different pie flavours were so yummy, delicious pastry and fillings and a great size to be able to eat in a cocktail/standing function.
Thanks to Adam and his team at Nonna Tina’s, would highly recommend.
