Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a Nonna Lia?

You bet! Lia is our founder’s great grandmother. The recipes we offer today are born from century-old traditions that have been passed down from Nonna Lia for three generations.

What do you know about Italian cuisine?

Nico, our founder and head chef, was born and raised in the Italian Alps. He periodically visits his hometown to learn from the masters of tradition, and to keep his taste buds in shape. Don’t take our word for it though, a taste test is worth more than a thousand words!

I saw Nonna Lia at a bubble tea, was I dreaming?

No, you were not! We partner with stores across the GTA to bring Nonna Lia’s products closer to your home. Desserts are made at our flagship store at 2831 Bathurst Street and delivered daily to all locations by our fearless drivers.

What’s with your prices?

We refuse to accept mediocrity in our products. Our ingredients are carefully sourced from Italy and around the world. Our team invests heavily in meticulously trained kitchen artisans, and state-of-the-art equipment to deliver a consistent quality experience.

Do I need to pre-order?

Nope! You can walk in to purchase 500ml Tiramisù boxes, Semifreddo’s, and gelato bars. Larger cakes (6”-10”) need to be pre-ordered on our website 1-2 days in advance. Note that our products often sell out in the evening, so we recommend pre-ordering to guarantee availability. 

Do you deliver?

You bet! We’re on the delivery apps, and we offer free next-day delivery on our website for $50+ orders. Yes, you heard that right, free delivery!

Can’t decide on a flavour?

If you’re getting one box, you can’t go wrong with Classico – it’s an authentic Italian experience! For two boxes, try Classico and a fun flavour that most suits your taste buds.
