QUALIFYING EVENT: Best Italian Restaurant - Nashville Scene

I have owned Caffe Nonna for 16 years with my business partner Bob Sillers. Caffe Nonna has received many awards for it's food, service and ambiance. Caffe Nonna has also been featured on Food Network's #1 show....Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Right next door we have Nonna's Pizzeria & Wine Bar where we serve award winning wood-fired pies, calzones and piadinis. Our wine list, created by John Michael Thurman, features boutique vineyard wines from around the world.
Nonna's Gourmet Foods is our online company. Here you can purchase our sauces, jellies and other Italian food products. Each purchase raises money for the Zoe Marie Brain Tumor Research Fund. This fund is set up in the memory of my daughter Zoe. Check it out at nonnasgourmetfoods.com
