Nonnas (2025) English Subtitle - A Feel-Good Celebration of Culture, Cuisine, and Connection

Nonnas (2025) is a warm, soulful blend of comedy and drama that tells the unique story of Joe Scaravella, brought to life by Vince Vaughn in one of his most heartfelt performances. Directed by Stephen Chbosky (Wonder, The Perks of Being a Wallflower) and written by Liz Maccie, the film is inspired by Scaravella’s real-life Staten Island restaurant, Enoteca Maria, where grandmothers from various cultures come together to cook.

Vince Vaughn plays Joe with a grounded charm—he's a man grieving his mother and trying to find meaning in life. His solution? Creating a restaurant where nonnas (grandmothers) from around the world serve as chefs, bringing their life stories, heritage, and recipes to the table. Susan Sarandon, Lorraine Bracco, Talia Shire, and Brenda Vaccaro shine as the spirited women who join his culinary mission.

The film’s emotional core is complemented by the natural warmth of its ensemble cast. Linda Cardellini, Drea de Matteo, and Joe Manganiello round out the family-and-friends circle that surrounds Joe’s journey. The story isn’t just about food—it’s about healing, community, and celebrating our roots.

Shot across New Jersey in charming, nostalgic settings, Nonnas feels like a home-cooked meal—familiar yet rich in flavor. The cinematography by Florian Ballhaus and music by Marcelo Zarvos perfectly match the comforting tone. Though critics were mixed—Metacritic gave it a 57, while Rotten Tomatoes rated it at 79%—the film resonates deeply with viewers, with 85% of Google users giving it a thumbs up.

At just under two hours, Nonnas is perfect for a cozy evening watch. It's not just about the laughs or the food—it’s about the memories that flavors carry and the strength of matriarchs in every family.
