Our story
An Australian-owned Italian food business built on the recipes of our late Nonna, Concettina Ielo.
How it started
In September 2021, Adam Agresta was messaging his brothers Charles and Paul and jokingly called Charles, who is half Maltese and half Italian, an "Italian pastizzi". The idea arrived on the spot: pasta sauces inside pastry.
Pastizzi dough proved impossible to mass-produce, so Adam switched to puff and shortcrust pastry, made prototype pies and handed them to strangers. The feedback was so good that Nonna Tina's was formally established on 10 November 2021.
Our values are the things that defined Nonna: family, trust, love, passion, fun and authenticity.
