This little movie starts out a little slow, but grabs your heart and your taste buds. What a great cast (mostly of Italian origin) of big names from yesteryear who improved with age like fine wine. Vince Vaughn, Talia Shira, Brenda Vaccaro, Loraine Branco and more. You can tell how much they enjoyed making this film together. They play off each other so well. If you are Italian, you will want to make your Nonna's recipes for your family tonight. If you are a restaurateur, you will feel the pain and excitement. In any event, you will want to enjoy your favorite Trattoria and bring the whole family!

I just watched the movie "Nonna" and I am going to watch it again! This movie is funny, touching, heartwarming AND family friendly. Anyone who has been close to a grand parent will love this movie. While my grandmother wasn't Italian, she had many Amish and Pennsylvania Dutch recipes that were lost with her passing. I didn't have to pause the movie when my grandchildren walked in, but I did rewind because I didn't want to miss a minute of this movie. The actors were spot on and ajoy to watch. I love to see older Hollywood talent! This movie is a must see! This movie deserves some type of award. LOVED IT!
Nonna is more than just a film-it's an experience that wraps around you like a warm hug from your own grandmother. From the very first scene, it feels like home. The movie beautifully captures the essence of unconditional love, nostalgia, and cultural pride. It gently reconnects you with your inner child and stirs deep emotions tied to your roots and upbringing. Watching it brings not just tears, but good tears-the kind that cleanse and comfort you at once. So, keep a box of Kleenex close; you'll need it. The storytelling is light and airy, yet profound, with life lessons woven seamlessly into every moment. It's a gentle reminder of what really matters in life-family, heritage, and the simple joys of love and connection. Nonna isn't just a film you watch; it's one you feel. Everything about it feels right. It leaves your spirit lifted and your heart full.
The movie was a good use of two hours. Vince plays a man suffering from a loss and decides to honour the people that mattered most to him, in one of the ways they showed loved to him.
Through it we get to follow several characters and their journeys, both the main character and four elderly women finding life far more enjoyable. Through just like Vance, putting love in to their food. It sounds cheesy but it works quite well, the setbacks feel real however the one thing holding it back is the ending. While heartwarming and sweet, it also is quite abrupt. From the biggest set back to almost instant resolution. However it's not enough to hold it back from being worth watching.

This is not your average generated content by netflix, this is a real film with emotions.
An Incredible cast doing their best in a beautiful film with inspiring true story ,heartwarming soundtrack ,it everything you want in a romantic comedy and more it's simply perfect for what it's. Yeah there are many similar films was made in the early 2000s but we don't get many movies like this anymore especially if it is done well.it needed more details but every character had enough background and more importantly charm to make you care and the cast is well put together I'm sure fans of the sopranos will be happy.

- TriviaAlthough the real Enoteca Maria is still in operation in its Staten Island, New York location, filming of the restaurant actually took place at Spirito's, the now-closed world famous restaurant in Elizabeth, New Jersey. After having been open since 1932, Spiritos closed for good in 2020 and was neglected for many years. The film's art department redesigned and renovated the space inside and out before filming began.
- GoofsTalia Shire's character, a recent former Catholic nun, wouldn't be permitted to just leave a convent and then possibly return so casually as communicated in the story.
