Nonnas...a history
When we opened in 1996 we had the ambition to share our passion of authentic Italian foods and the country’s fabulous and diverse wines with the British public. We has no great business plan, just a desire to bring the true taste of Italian life and its culture to our part of the world. We had no idea where our dream would lead us when we bought the former butcher’s shop on the corner of Ecclesall Road in Sheffield. Now 13 years later, we have expanded into Chesterfield, this brand new 2- storey building contains downstairs a 80 cover restuarant, private dining room, delicatessan and open bakery, baking fresh bread daily; whilst upstairs, the Milanese bar perfect for events and groups operates a weekly DJ. The south facing terraces both up and down, offer diners the opportunity to enjoy the British summer. But that’s not all, with a Tuscan rentable holiday villa for 2- 10 people in the hills of Pescia (between Florence and Pisa), our first book Strada della Nonnas (on sale in Harvey Nichols), and a catering company (Nonna’s Catering), we are more than just an Italian restaurant...

Nonna's embraces new worthy cause
OK, there are easier ways to take in the 6 Nations Championship but Lawrence Dallaglio has never been one to shirk a challenge. On the 12th February, Lawrence Dallaglio, alongside a bunch of celebrity mates and over 250 brave and generous people to include our very own Gian Bohan, will be cycling to all of the 6 Nations stadia starting in Rome then onto Paris, Twickenham, Cardiff, Dublin and finishing in Edinburgh on 13th March... the target, to raise £1 million for charity. That’s 24 days in the saddle and over 2,800 kilometres and more importantly... in the middle of winter - otherwise known as utter madness.
Gian will be taking part in at least one stage (430km) and hopefully more!! All to raise One Million Pounds for the Lawrence Dallaglio Foundation which supports Cancer Research UK (as well as many other charities), a cause close to his heart, after losing both parents to this indiscriminate disease.
As Gian puts it, "my chance to make a difference means blood, sweat and tears and a very sore backside, BUT I cannot do it without YOU! I know there are many worthy causes to donate to, but for those who know me, I rarely come cap in hand..... so please donate generously, I will greatly appreciate it...”
This immense challenge is all about raising money for Sport Relief and the newly formed Dallaglio Foundation. Every mile cycled is more cash in the charity pot. The net proceeds from the challenge will be split equally between Sport Relief and the Dallaglio Foundation.
Nonna’s not only embraces these worthy causes but of course Gian in this brave endeavour-
So we ask that you will allow us to add £1 to your bill for the month of February, so we can make a contribution towards raising the £1 million pounds needed.
You can also sponsor Gian online at http://www.justgiving.com/gian-bohan

Thanks to you...
In January, we handed over to Streetsmart £2500 on behalf of our guests in Sheffield and Chesterfield.
During December, whilst guests enjoy their festive parties and dinners, we add a voluntary £1 per table onto each bill. Thanks to your generosity, we were able to provide this magnificent sum. The monies are now distributed back to the local area of both Sheffield and Chesterfield by Streetsmart
Thank- you
Gian, Maurizio and Daniel
