Experience this heartfelt and humorous film about Staten Island’s iconic Enoteca Maria restaurant that celebrates the power of tradition, food, and the remarkable women who pass it all down. Nonnas has touched hearts across the Italian American community — and now, it comes to Casa Belvedere’s big screen as part of our Cinema Sotto Le Stelle series.

Release this year, Nonnas is an American biographical comedy-drama film directed by Stephen Chbosky, written by Liz Maccie, and starring Vince Vaughn, Lorraine Bracco, Talia Shire, Brenda Vaccaro with Linda Cardellini and Susan Sarandon. The film is based on the life of Joe Scaravella, owner of Enoteca Maria, who risks everything to honor his recently deceased, beloved mother by opening an Italian restaurant with actual grandmothers as chefs.
