Behind an unassuming side door, in the middle of the suburbs, lies a hidden gem that foodies flock to.
A brown brick wall contains a gate labeled 550, the entrance to an authentic Italian eatery called Nonna’s House in the inner-city Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy North.
Nonna’s House serves delicious Italian sub sandwiches with an array of tasty fillings that leave guests wanting more.
There is no formality to this casual eatery with cardboard signs and a hole in the wall stud at the back of a residential home.
