Lunch at Nonna’s
Built on Rick’s Sicilian heritage and twenty years on stage, Lunch at Nonna’s is part dining experience, part live performance – three sets of classic Italian favourites that warm the room from the entrée through to the last song.
About the show
An Italian lunch that won’t sit still.
It opens like a long Sunday lunch – antipasto, a glass poured, the band warming up in the corner. By the main the room is singing; by dessert it’s on its feet.
Rick built it on the food and music he grew up with: Sicilian recipes, the standards his nonna played on a Sunday, and the showmanship of two decades on stage. The troupe scales from an intimate experience with Rick to a full trio, with every set sequenced to the run of the meal – so the show and the food land together, not around each other.
Antipasto & overture
Doors, grazing boards, and an easy opening set to settle the room.
Main course & the big numbers
Plated mains as the singers lifts into the songs everyone knows.
Dolce & the dancefloor
Dessert, espresso, and the last set that empties the seats.
Why book this one
What makes Nonna’s special.
Three reasons venues keep rebooking it – and what your guests will remember long after the last set.
Dinner and show in one
One booking covers the catering brief and the entertainment. No juggling a band against a caterer – the meal and the music are sequenced as a single night.
Songs the room knows
Italian classics, swing, and the crowd-pleasers every table sings back. We read the floor and push the set when the moment is right.
Scales to your venue
A solo performer for an intimate dining room or a full trio for a packed club floor – the line-up and the menu flex to suit the space and the budget.

Good to know
Questions, answered.
Got a question that isn’t here? Fill in the enquiry form or give Rick a call.
Do you provide the food, or just the show?
Both can be handled. We work with trusted catering partners to plate a set Italian menu to your venue, or we will slot the show around a caterer you have already booked. Either way the sets are sequenced to the run of the meal.
How many performers do we get?
One to three vocalists, Rick will recommend the right lineup for your room and your budget when you enquire.
Can the show work with our existing run-sheet?
Yes, and that is how it is designed. Rick sequences the sets to your meal service so the performance and the food land together. Send through your run-sheet when you enquire and he will build the show around it.
