The Comfort of Cooking: Nonnas (2025) Brings Family to the Table

Nonnas 2025

Nonnas 2025 Afdah is a warm and touching film that shows how food can bring people together and help heal a broken heart. The story follows Joe Scaravella, a man who is deeply saddened after his mother passes away. He feels empty and lost, missing the love and comfort she gave him.

To keep her memory alive, Joe opens a restaurant with a very special idea. Instead of hiring regular chefs, he invites grandmothers—lovingly called “nonnas”—from different cultures to cook their favorite family meals. Each nonna brings her own story, recipes, and personality.

Together, they create a restaurant filled with love, laughter, and mouthwatering food.

As the restaurant grows, it becomes a place where people feel like part of a big family. Joe begins to find healing through the stories and wisdom of the nonnas. Their food not only fills plates but also hearts.

Vince Vaughn stars as Joe, and he brings warmth and charm to the role. He is joined by an incredible cast including Susan Sarandon, Talia Shire, Lorraine Bracco, and Brenda Vaccaro, who play the kind and caring nonnas.

Directed by Stephen Chbosky and written by Liz Maccie, Nonnas (2025) reminds us that family is not just about blood—it’s about love, kindness, and sharing something meaningful. This movie is like a warm hug for the soul.

Watch Nonnas (2025) on Afdah and let it fill your heart with joy, just like a home-cooked meal from grandma.
