About Us
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.
So who are we?
We are a husband and wife team.
Ball and chain.
Cassandra and Matthew Bugeja. Together, we have a combined total hospitality experience of 25 years, across a range venues and styles.
We both began our careers in fine dining in Sydney, meeting back in 2011 at Becasse. With a range of hatted restaurants under our belt we ventured overseas to travel Europe and work in London, Copenhagen and France.
We have a passion for Mediterranean food, fresh pastas and wholesome dining. We love to share that with you all.
