Founding Story
Carly and Cesare (Chez) De Bartolo started their family-owned business back in 2013 with imported Sicilian gelato carts, before opening the now cult-status gelateria in Northbridge in 2016.
Our Process
We’ve been making all our gelato in our original Northbridge kitchen since 2016 and now the new Mount Lawley Production Lab will be Nonna’s home to all our creative new product lines and the heartbeat of our production, visible from all angles.
Production Lab
The Mount Lawley location is our centralised Production Lab. Working with Bosske Architecture, we designed this gelateria from the ground up with production in mind, giving our customers an inside look into the making process.
