Over the weekend, shoppers will be delighted with copious activations for the whole family to enjoy, including face painting, giveaways, discounts, and a visit from the Fiat Car Club from 10am to 2pm on Sunday. There’ll also be various friends of LaManna popping in to present a taste of Italy like Bippi, Del Bocia and so much more.
 
LaManna’s brand new pizza and schiaciatta bar will be giving away 200 pizzas on Saturday and Sunday. Sink your teeth into the gourmet selection on both rossa and bianco pizza bases. How does salami and LaManna’s house-made hot honey and classic margherita with fresh trecce (mozzarella), cherry tomatoes and basil sound?   
 
Visitors will also have a chance to be in the draw to win a $5,000 LaManna voucher by spending $100 or more on their shop in store.
 
LaManna offers a specialty shopping experience where you have access to a patisserie and freshly baked goods, deli, café, fresh seafood and butcher cuts, florist, liquor and groceries all in the one accessible location.
