Nonna's, renowned for its culinary innovation, is proud to bring India's first Neapolitan Sourdough Pizzeria to Fergusson College Road in Pune. With two successful locations in Mumbai's Andheri West and Lower Parel, Nonna's now expands to enchant Pune with its authentic Italian flavors.

As you step into Nonna's, you're transported to an inviting Italian Trattoria. This 92-seater restaurant exudes warmth, making it the perfect place to savor genuine Italian cuisine. With an open kitchen design, you get a front-row seat to the art of pizza-making, adding a dash of excitement to your dining experience.

Founded by Ayush Jatia, Nonna's is a culinary journey to Naples, Italy. Their sourdough starter has a rich history dating back to the 18th century, nurtured and celebrated by generations of the Galliano family of Naples.

What sets Nonna's pizza apart is the method. Unlike dough that uses commercially produced yeast for a quick rise, Nonna's dough is naturally fermented for 48 hours using their heirloom "mother dough." It's then baked in a 400°C oven for precisely 90 seconds, locking in natural aroma and moisture, resulting in a light and easily digestible crust.

Nonna's menu is a delight for your taste buds, featuring star dishes like Pizza No. 2, Pizza No.3, and Pizza No. 6, which are crowd favorites. They offer a range of options, from hand-stretched Neapolitan pizzas to fried nibbles, salads, oven-baked starters, and mouthwatering desserts, including their famous Tiramisu.

The beverage selection is equally impressive, featuring wines, Aperol, Campari, and beer thoughtfully curated to complement your meal. What's exceptional about Nonna's is their commitment to accommodating diverse dietary preferences, including offerings for Jains and Vegans. You can also personalize your pizzas to your liking.

At Nonna's, authenticity extends to their ingredients, which are a blend of imported and local items, creating a symphony of flavors that transport you to Italy with every bite.

Ayush Jatia, the founder, says, "Nonna's has embarked on a mission to bring Pune the ultimate pizza experience, boasting our signature sourdough pizzas with a legacy of a 500-year-old recipe. We believe in crafting exceptional dining experiences, and our passion for perfection shines through our artisanal creations. With a blend of traditional techniques and innovative flavors, we are sure that Pune will love Nonna's as much as it's been adored in Mumbai."

Come to Nonna's to experience pizza in its true, traditional form, and embark on a journey of authentic Italian cuisine.

Ironhill and Smoor Stir Up a Chocolate Cocktail Experience

Chocolate is finding a new place on the menu at Ironhill, and this time, it is not on a dessert plate. In collaboration with Smoor, the brewery has introduced a limited-edition cocktail menu that brings together artisanal chocolate and craft cocktail making in a unique way.

Designed to offer a different perspective on chocolate, the menu features three signature cocktails, each with its own distinct character and flavour profile. Rather than simply adding chocolate to a drink, the collection explores how the ingredient can create depth, balance and complexity in a cocktail glass.

The Silk Route delivers a smooth and rich experience, with deep chocolate notes that unfold gradually and leave a lasting impression. For those who enjoy contrasting flavours, the Salted Cacao combines cacao and salt to create a balanced drink where sweetness and savoury notes work together seamlessly. Meanwhile, the Tropical Ganache brings a lighter and more vibrant approach, blending bright fruit flavours with chocolate for a refreshing and unexpected combination.

What sets the menu apart is its thoughtful approach to flavour. Each cocktail presents a different interpretation of chocolate, showcasing how the ingredient can move beyond traditional desserts and become the centrepiece of a well-crafted drink.

Available for a limited time, the Ironhill x Smoor collaboration offers guests an opportunity to experience chocolate in a fresh and creative format. Whether enjoyed as a leisurely evening drink or as part of a dining experience, the menu aims to bring a new dimension to cocktail culture.
