Based on a true story, this delightful and gentle feel-good Netflix comedy-drama finds New Yorker Vince Vaughn mourning the loss of his mother and deciding to create an authentic Italian-family-feel restaurant with four real nonnas (Italian grandmothers) as the chefs. It feels like a real love letter to New York and to the Italian community and its traditions, with an understated Vince Vaughn excellent in the lead role and delivering some real pathos along the way, together with the feisty unfiltered nonnas who are very enjoyable to watch (and perhaps deserve a little more screen-time). The comedy is hardly sophisticated or original, but with its irresistible mix of family, friendship, Italian food/cooking and a genuine warm-heartedness, Nonnas is an easy, fun and charmingly enjoyable viewing experience.
