The Story

Step inside Casa Della Nonna

Step inside Casa Della Nonna, a retro Italian home built inside LaManna to celebrate the rituals, stories and flavours that shaped Bippi. For six weeks, guests wandered through Nonna's lounge room, kitchen and pantry, ate fresh pasta at the family table, and met the recipes behind the brand.

The Taralli Launch

The release of our Italian Pretzel in three new flavours was the catalyst for Casa Della Nonna. More than a product launch, it became a six-week celebration of Italian culture, bringing people together to discover the range through food, family and unforgettable experiences.
