Cafe Nonna Sells Pasta Sauces for a Cure

2 Comments By 

Discriminating Nashville diners are already familiar with Bob Sillers and Daniel Maggipinto’s Italian restaurant, Caffe Nonna. What they might not know is that the restaurant’s jars of marinara and arrabiata sauces – available online and through retail stores – mean more than a ring in the register.

Part of the proceeds from sauce sales goes to brain cancer research at St. Jude’s in Memphis, where Maggipinto’s toddler daughter, Zoe, spent a year and a half before she died of a rare brain cancer in 2002.

The sauces – featured as part of the Pick Tennessee Products network and the Tennessee Specialty Food Association – are available in some Nashville-area stores such as The Produce Place and Tennessee Memories, at Grassland Market in Franklin, and at Dollywood, as well as through Caffe Nonna’s website. Prices are in the $6 range.

    Cafe Nonna sauce is absolutely wonderful. I found it while taking a cooking class with Chef Dan. Not only is the sauce worth every cent, but St. Jude’s? What can I say. A wonderful work for a most worthy cause.

    Contribute to st. Jude. No child should suffer from cancer.
