Nonnas is a 2025 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, the owner of Staten Island (New York City) restaurant Enoteca Maria, who risks everything to honor his recently deceased, beloved mother by opening an Italian restaurant with actual grandmothers as chefs.

Plot

As he grieves the passing of his mother, Joe Scaravella reminisces about his childhood in 1960s Brooklyn when his mother Maria (Kate Eastman) and nonna (Karen Giordano), would be in the kitchen cooking for friends and family. He remembers what they taught him and recreates all of the dishes they used to make, though he cannot seem to pin down his nonna's Sunday gravy.
