Review - Nonnas on Netflix

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


If you’re looking for a delightful, heartwarming movie about a man chasing an impossible dream, you need to watch NONNAS, a Netflix exclusive.

First though, pour a glass of good red wine and get some hearty Italian bread and a dish of excellent extra virgin olive oil with some fresh minced herbs like basil, oregano, and rosemary added to it.

The movie is chockablock with mouthwatering Italian pasta dishes, rich red sauce, meatballs, and other Italian dishes that are to die for.

You’ll be sipping that wine and dipping the bread in the oil as you watch this delightful movie starring Vince Vaughn, Lorraine Bracco, Talia Shire, Brenda Vaccaro, Cardellini, and Susan Sarandon. 

Based on a the life of Joe Scaravella, the owner of Staten Island (NYC) restaurant Enoteca Maria, the comedy-drama film was directed by Stephen Chbosky and written by Liz Maccie.

The story is how Mr. Scaravella, played by Vaughn, risked everything he had to honor his beloved mother who had passed. His idea was to open an Italian restaurant with actual grandmothers, or nonnas,  as chefs.

He grew up eating his mother’s cooking who was using her mother’s recipes. Joe thinks grandmothers, the nonnas, were the only ones who could deliver the wonderful food that would honor his mother and grandmother.

The film—rated PG because of suggestive content, language, etc. which is too bad because it would be a great family movie—was released on Netflix on May 9, 2025, Mother’s Day weekend in the U.S. and hit No. 1.

TAKEAWAY TRUTH

Definitely put this on your list to watch. Darling Hubby and I loved the movie. As soon as it was over, we headed to the kitchen for bread, dipping oil, and wine. Deliziosa!
