    "Unconditional Love on Screen: Nonna Will Move You"

    Nonna is more than just a film-it's an experience that wraps around you like a warm hug from your own grandmother. From the very first scene, it feels like home. The movie beautifully captures the essence of unconditional love, nostalgia, and cultural pride. It gently reconnects you with your inner child and stirs deep emotions tied to your roots and upbringing. Watching it brings not just tears, but good tears-the kind that cleanse and comfort you at once. So, keep a box of Kleenex close; you'll need it. The storytelling is light and airy, yet profound, with life lessons woven seamlessly into every moment. It's a gentle reminder of what really matters in life-family, heritage, and the simple joys of love and connection. Nonna isn't just a film you watch; it's one you feel. Everything about it feels right. It leaves your spirit lifted and your heart full.

    Mangia

    'Nonnas' is a sweet film, from Stephen Chbosky, based on a true story about a small, family-style restaurant (Enoteca Maria) on Staten Island. It had small-film greatness lurking, but the script needed the touch of a great comedy writer, like James Brooks or even Terry Winter.

    Winter would have felt right at home writing for Sopranos alums: Lorraine Bracco, Drea de Mateo and Michael Rispoli. Add to that Susan Sarandon and Talia Shire, along with lead Vince Vaughn, and you have a Hell of a cast and, of course, the real star is the Italian food!

    So, the film is heartwarming and entertaining, but not as great as it could have been.

    Heartwarming story of the Italian Love of familia and food

    This little movie starts out a little slow, but grabs your heart and your taste buds. What a great cast (mostly of Italian origin) of big names from yesteryear who improved with age like fine wine. Vince Vaughn, Talia Shira, Brenda Vaccaro, Loraine Branco and more. You can tell how much they enjoyed making this film together. They play off each other so well. If you are Italian, you will want to make your Nonna's recipes for your family tonight. If you are a restaurateur, you will feel the pain and excitement. In any event, you will want to enjoy your favorite Trattoria and bring the whole family!

    Bella! Mangia! Mangia!

    Need more movies like this

    No sex and no dirty language, and guess what, no movie ever needs that. These feel-good movies are what we need more of.

    Who doesn't love their nonna? It's an underdog movie. It has some humor. But it was the end that brought a feel-good tear to my eye. You couldn't help but want the restaurant to succeed for no other reason than Joe and the nonnas.

    Where most cultures have the den as the place to hang out with company, but in cultures like Italian, French, and Greek, it's the kitchen. Kitchens are happy places in those cultures. They truly cook not out of necessity but love and enjoyment.

    This one's worth watching.

    A good use of two hours

    I often watch a movie these days and up thinking "I wish I had those two hours back. What a waste."

    This movie was just the opposite. Two hours very well spent. It has a great story that made me laugh and cry.

    It has a fantastic cast. Every single one of the actors in this is stellar.

    It has great music.

    And it has food. Oh my goodness the food. Served family style - there are huge bowls of streaming pasta and pans of lasagne. Plates of cannoli.

    The food looks so good that it made me feel faint.

    Even writing this, my stomach is rumbling.

    I'm not Italian but I am fond of Italian-leaning movies like Moonstruck, and I totally love the Inspector Montalbano detective series (it takes place in Sicily and is very food-forward).

    I didn't know about the "sauce versus gravy" question. Hmmm.

    So this movie is about love and family and grief and hope and friendship and perseverance. It is easy on the eyes - not overly directed or overwhelmingly produced. It's about growing old and staying young. And it's about food.

    I recommend it. 9 stars but it probably could be 10. It's not like "Best Picture" quality but it is sweet and has heart. I have nothing bad to say about it.

    • Trivia
      Although the real Enoteca Maria is still in operation in its Staten Island, New York location, filming of the restaurant actually took place at Spirito's, the now-closed world famous restaurant in Elizabeth, New Jersey. After having been open since 1932, Spiritos closed for good in 2020 and was neglected for many years. The film's art department redesigned and renovated the space inside and out before filming began.
