Pasta & Pizza

What Pasta & Pizza does

Pasta & Pizza (Pasta und Pizza Nordstadt Hannover) is a single-location, family-operated Italian restaurant in the Nordstadt district of Hannover, Germany, founded in 1994 by Domenico Fragnelli and run day-to-day with a personal touch by Inhaberin Dora, whose hand-painted artworks define the venue's ambiance. The restaurant serves authentic Southern Italian cuisine — pasta, pizza, antipasti, salads, soups, and Italian beverages — to dine-in customers including individuals, couples, families, and groups of up to 20–30 persons for private occasions, with hours of Monday–Friday 18:00–22:30 and Sunday 17:00–22:30 (closed Saturdays). Its underlying technology is modest: a WordPress website with the Five Star Restaurant Reservations plugin for online table booking, Borlabs Cookie for GDPR consent management, Google Fonts for typography, and Google Maps for location display; the company has no mobile app, no delivery platform integration, and no formal tech stack beyond entry-level web tools. The business operates as a sole proprietorship under Domenico Fragnelli, with no external investors, no parent company, and no subsidiaries. Revenue is generated entirely through point-of-service dine-in transactions, with pricing not publicly disclosed; customer acquisition relies on walk-ins, word-of-mouth, the website reservation flow, and organic social presence on Instagram and Facebook. The entity is privately held, with a headcount of approximately 15 employees focused entirely on the single Hannover venue.
