Return to the table – The Italian Way Function Booking Menus Our team here at Ritorno, share in the belief that my Nonna instilled in me. Preparing and serving food for someone is a privilege and a responsibility. That’s why our recipes follow the Italian tradition of using the freshest ingredients available, with everything made from scratch. Ritorno in Italian means, “to return” and we want this to be a restaurant where you feel at home and are fed delicious and healthy food, so that you too, will want to return.

The Nonna Wall The Nonna wall is a small way to honour the women in our lives, our mothers and grandmothers, who fed us and nurtured us, putting their own wants and needs aside. My Nonna Maria would be thrilled to know that her picture hangs on the Nonna wall with so many remarkable women, including our Prime Minister’s mother, Margaret. We would be honoured to display a framed picture of that special woman in your life.
