Inspired by a true story, “Nonnas” follows the journey of Joe Scaravella (played by Vaughn), a New Yorker of Italian descent who decides to honour his late mother by opening a restaurant, Enoteca Maria.

Manganiello takes on the role of Bruno, Joe’s best friend, and shares his enthusiasm for the project, expressing how the film beautifully celebrates the Italian-American experience through the power of food. The heartfelt narrative is enriched by the presence of Sarandon, Bracco, Brenda Vaccaro, and Talia Shire, who play the four diverse and lively nonnas infusing Scaravella’s kitchen with their culinary expertise.
The collaborative effort behind “Nonnas” extends beyond the screen, as the cast members forged strong bonds during filming. Bracco and Vaccaro, both key figures in the movie, reflect on the joyous experience and the uplifting message that resonates throughout the storyline, reminding viewers of the possibility to start anew and cherish the connections that matter most in life.
The film, co-written by Liz Maccie and directed by Stephen Chbosky, radiates love and positivity, embodying the essence of family, friendship, and the shared love for food. Chbosky emphasises the significance of conveying a positive message through their work, highlighting the genuine passion and dedication exhibited by the entire team involved in bringing “Nonnas” to life.
“Nonnas” also features the talents of Drea de Matteo and Linda Cardellini, offering a stellar ensemble that promises to captivate audiences with its blend of comedy, heartwarming moments, and a celebration of culture and culinary traditions. The film is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on May 9, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a heartwarming tale of love, laughter, and the power of shared experiences.
