Plan your GiropizzaAt the Crossroads of Culture and Cuisine
Set in Gardens, with the Hidding Campus of UCT just across the street and the Labia Theatre on the opposite corner, Nonna Lina sits at a meeting point of culture and everyday life. A relaxed place to enjoy an Italian meal before or after a film, a lecture, or simply a walk through the neighbourhood.
