Leadership Quotes on the Launch
Italian chef Massimo Verzini, the executive chef of Si Nonna’s, highlighted the tradition behind the cuisine: “Sourdough has its origins in the Italian region of Naples… it’s a craft passed down through generations. We’re excited to bring this same tradition of patience and artisanal care to a city that truly understands the beauty of slow-fermented, flavour-rich food.”
