ocated in the courtyard at
Foxdale Court, Nonna’s
Pizzeria is a delightful
Italian restaurant that speaks of
hearty homemade Italian food. Run
and owned by Franca Rocci, fondly
known as Nonna (grandma) to
those close to her and her children,
this little piece of Italy serves pasta,
lasagne and pizza that is made
with fresh authentic Italian and
local Zambian produce. Nonna’s
Pizzeria also does catering for
small events and Sunday brunch.
Franca has vast experience in the
restaurant industry, both in running
restaurants and helping restaurants
with their openings.
Nonna’s Pizzeria happened by a
happy coincidence. Franca, along
with her daughter and grandson,
went for ice cream and saw a vacant
space. The rest, as they say is history.
The pizzeria has a rustic feel with
its checked tablecloths and Italian
colours of red, white and green.
As soon as we walked in, we were
greeted by friendly staff and mouthwatering aromas. Franca herself was
there to welcome us and ensure that
we were assisted. With a wide range
of choice on the menu, along with
her personal suggestions, we were
quickly able to decide what
we wanted.
