Italian Food is not all about Pizza and Pasta. This year at the Norton Street Italian Festa we aim to highlight other parts of Italian cuisine through the following events.

Nonni in Cucina

Located outside the Leichhardt Town Hall.

Hosted by Joanna Savill, Food Journalist, five different "Nonni" will demonstrate the preparation process of one of their favourite regional recipes. This year Nonni in Cucina will feature a new segment - "il cuoco e lo chef". It will be a cook off between one of the Nonni and Italian-Australian Chef Danny Russo.
