Sweet and Cheesy: Critics Weigh In!

Al Alexander from Movies Thru the Spectrum describes ‘Nonnas’ as, "Like an overstuffed cannoli, sweet, cheesy, and abundant in empty calories. It’s pure comfort food, reminding viewers of the joys of mindless entertainment, thanks to a stellar cast that includes familiar faces from ‘The Sopranos.’"

Sherin Nicole from RogerEbert.com concurs, stating, "This isn’t a prestige film; it tells a story about healing through connections to our past and each other. It’s something you could enjoy while savoring a bowl of pasta topped with Pecorino Romano!" Michael Cook of KLRT-TV added, "What impressed me is how the film rises above clichés by giving respect to its characters, making ‘Nonnas’ a truly enjoyable experience."

A Film Inspired by Real Life!

Written by Liz Maccie and directed by Stephen Chbosky, ‘Nonnas’ boasts a powerhouse cast that includes Susan Sarandon, Lorraine Bracco, and Joe Manganiello. The film is based on the real-life story of Joe Scaravella, who owns the Staten Island restaurant Enoteca Maria. Vaughn shared his enthusiasm about portraying Scaravella's inspiring journey, saying, "Meeting him was a pleasure; he’s a true artist focused on the experience of food and community."
