Restaurant description

Our Victorian Warehouse, NONNA, spills out onto a pergola-covered deck which offers, we believe, one of the most beautiful views in the world. Guests have the option of dining inside NONNA or out on the covered all-weather deck while enjoying fresh Mediterranean cuisine and soaking up the views.

NONNA, a contemporary Italian bistro and deli, is fondly named after Makaranga matriarch, Danna Flack. Chick and Danna Flack bought the 30-acre property in 2002 and named it Makaranga after the towering wild poplar trees, which line the stream and also after the Makaranga tribe from Inyanga, Zimbabwe, where Danna spent her childhood. Since then Danna has delighted in all things Italian complete with taking on the Italian nomenclature NONNA since becoming a granny. The Bistro, it seems, in a most natural manner, almost named itself.

The open-plan kitchen which faces onto the restaurant produces tantalizing contemporary fare. Brett Harvey, Chef de Cuisine at NONNA, takes you on a taste and visual explosion with the NONNA menu.

The walk-in wine cellar houses hand selected local and international offerings.

NONNA welcomes children who will no doubt enjoy their own special eating area, rolling their own pizza dough and partaking in our range of arts and crafts, all strategically placed within sight but not necessarily sound of you. A stretch of pergola-covered astro turf creates a safe and fun space for your children. There is also an outside structured play ground with a natural timbered gym, which is in close proximity to NONNA and THE DELI so that carers can take a well-deserved respite from their responsibilities while their children play on the rock garden and play gym with full visibility from the restaurant.
