Who is Nonnie?
Nonnie and Pop-pop were my Italian grandparents, and truly two of the most loving, gentle, and joy-filled souls I have ever known.
They weren’t just family — they were my favorite people, and the heart of so many of my best memories. Their home was always alive with warmth:
Italian music drifting through the rooms, stories being passed down, the smell of sauce in the kitchen, and a kind of love you could feel the moment you walked in.
Naming this business Nonnie’s Pops is my way of honoring them — their legacy, their love, and the beautiful Italian roots they passed on to me. Every pop is a small tribute to the joy they brought into my life and the memories that will stay with me forever.
Nonnie use to say, “Ma Devi Mangiare Non”
It basically means, “You gotta eat, though right?”
