La Nostra
Storia.
"Every dish carries the memory of a Sunday in my grandmother's kitchen."
Da Nonna was born in 1987 from a simple conviction: that the finest Italian cooking requires nothing more than exceptional ingredients, honest technique, and the patience of memory. Our founder Adriano Ferretti — trained under Gualtiero Marchesi in Milan and later in the kitchens of Alain Ducasse in Paris — returned to Rome to open a restaurant dedicated to his grandmother's philosophy of cooking.
Today, our kitchen remains guided by the seasons. Each morning, Adriano walks the Campo de' Fiori market personally. The vegetables that arrive at your table were grown in Lazio soil. The pasta was rolled by hand before noon. The olive oil was pressed from our own grove in Umbria. This is not a claim — it is simply how we have always worked.

Filosofia.
La Stagione
The menu changes with the seasons. We do not serve tomatoes in January or truffles in July.
L'Origine
Every ingredient has a named source. We know our farmers, our fishermen, our olive growers.
La Tecnica
Classical Italian techniques, applied with rigour. No shortcuts. No substitutions.
