The first trailer for Nonnas, an upcoming Netflix comedy starring Vince Vaughn, has been released. The film, based on a true story, follows Joe Scaravella (Vaughn), who opens an Italian restaurant after the death of his mother. Surrounded by a group of Italian grandmothers who work as chefs, the film explores themes of family, friendship, and food.
In the trailer, Vaughn’s character, seeking comfort in food after his loss, gathers a group of Italian grandmothers to share their traditional recipes with the neighborhood. Set to premiere on May 5, Nonnas features an all-star cast, including Linda Cardellini as Olivia, Joe Manganiello as Joe’s best friend Bruno, and Lorraine Bracco, Brenda Vaccaro, Talia Shire, and Susan Sarandon.
A Film About Family and Food
Nonnas isn’t just about food – it’s also a story about family and culture. In an interview, Vaughn explained that the project drew him in because of its themes of love and tradition passed down through family meals. The film’s making also reflects this theme, as it was created by married filmmakers Stephen Chbosky and Liz Maccie, making it a family project both on and off screen.
The film is based on the true story of Jody Scaravella, who left his job in 2007 to open Enoteca Maria, an Italian restaurant in Staten Island. The restaurant is known for featuring dishes prepared by Italian grandmothers. The trailer emphasizes that these grandmothers are the true stars, showing them as sassy, funny, and unapologetically talented in the kitchen.
What to Expect from “Nonnas”
Nonnas promises to be a heartfelt comedy. Like food, it aims to bring comfort to viewers through its humor and emotional connections. Joe’s dream of opening a restaurant faces challenges, but as he invites others into his project, he also fosters a sense of community. The restaurant becomes a bridge between Joe and the Italian culture he seeks to reconnect with. With its touching story and vibrant cultural setting, Nonnas is set to take viewers on an emotional journey.
The film’s mix of family bonds, food, and laughter is sure to make it a must-watch for comedy lovers.
