A synopsis from Netflix reads:
Nonnas follows Joe (Vaughn), who, after losing his mom and grandmother, turns to their generations-old recipes for solace and direction. With the money from his mom’s insurance and a little help from his friends, he opens Enoteca Maria, an old-school Italian spot that staffs four grandmothers, or “nonnas,” from different cities in Italy, who share their dishes with the neighborhood.
Gigi Pritzker, Rachel Shane, Jack Turner, Scott Budnick, Ameet Shukla, Jay Peterson, Todd Lubin, Leah Gonzalez, Stacy Calabrese, Amanda Morgan Palmer, Alexis Garcia, Scaravella, Pamela Hirsch, Christopher Slager, Dan Guando, and Vaughn make up the film’s producing team.
