About the company

Il Nonno Foods is a family-owned pasta manufacturer based in Campbellfield, Melbourne, with a heritage spanning more than 60 years. Founded on traditional Italian pasta-making techniques — passed down through generations at the family kitchen table — the business is now proudly led by the founder's granddaughters, who continue the legacy their grandfather began.

Il Nonno produces artisan fresh and frozen filled pasta (including tortellini and ravioli) and fresh bronze-extruded pasta, using high-protein Australian semolina and free-range eggs. The pasta is 100% Australian made, combining authentic Italian methods with quality local ingredients.

The business supplies both retail and wholesale customers, with products stocked through distributors and retailers across Australia. Driven by quality, family connection and a commitment to tradition, Il Nonno continues to grow while staying true to its founding values.
