Overview

Every Italian will tell you that no one cooks like their nonna — and to prove that claim true, some of Australia's best Italian chefs and their grandmothers are teaming up for a three-day festival of Italian deliciousness.

Running from October 8–10, the Festival of Nonna will be a celebration of the traditional matriarchs of the Boot, with a series of three-course dinners at Collingwood's The Craft and Co. Presented by Sandhurst Fine Foods, it will show off the modern interpretation of Italian food coupled with the tried-and-tested traditions that make the cuisine so damn good.

Luca Ciano of Milan's two Michelin-starred Il Luogo di Aimo e Nadia and Massimo Mele of Woollahra's now-closed La Scala on Jersey, will, along with their mums, deliver hands-on demonstrations that show off the tradition and the techniques of crafting the perfect Italian meal.

Tickets for the dinners are $65 a pop, which includes three courses with drinks and a sweet party bag.
