Nonnas of the World Community

Absolutely, undeniably, incredibly spectacular!! We had 7:30PM reservations on 12/27 with two adults and three kids. Joe was so nice and kind; he knew us by name because we made the reservation directly with him. Nonna Maria herself greeted us and told us a bit about her. She was delightful! We ordered her perfectly made meatballs and scrumptious lasagna. We also ordered from the Puerto Rican menu (fried fish cod — it was delicious). The food was fantastic, the wait staff precise and friendly and the atmosphere was everything we expected. Our recommendation is to contact them via phone because reservations are always needed (and rightfully so — the food and people are amazing). This is worth every penny and we will be coming back again! Remember!! It’s cash only! Thank you Joe & company!

We came in during the snowstorm getting lucky calling for a last minute reservation. If you have not been here please go. What a idea to have different foods prepared by Nonnas. A delicious opportunity to try unique dishes from all over the world. The service was just beyond warm and inviting. I cannot wait to come back- already looking at the Nonnas calendar. YUMIKO thank you for coming and chatting with us- the chicken Katsu just wow- it was a privilege to meet you. We loved seeing you in the kitchen prepping!! Everyone there was lovely. The burrata was so beyond creamy, basil so fresh, the meatballs were like my grandma made them - really I do not have enough words for this review !!!! Please go try. Staten Island gem.

I first heard about this place from a documentary, then saw the movie last year, had to make sure I got over to Staten Island for a bite. The food offered today was Italian, Japanese and Sri Lankan. It all looked amazing. The owner is still taking non-stop calls for reservations. I was lucky to have gotten in since I came in on my own. I was sat at the counter and enjoyed watching all of the hustle and bustle in this cozy kitchen. The size helps you feel like you're waiting for your Mama to finish cooking your meal as you watch. I ordered the lasagna which was very good, but really, the star of the meal was the fresh banana pudding. Never have I enjoyed such a delicious, creamy, well-balanced and fresh pudding. It was divine. The cost is a little high but it is so worth it for the freshne

The heart warming film staring an amazing cast made us want to come here to see it in ‘real life’ all the way from the UK 🇬🇧 It did not disappoint. We were greeted by the fabulous owner ‘Joey’ and we got to meet today’s ‘Nonnas’ who were cooking. The food was of the highest quality and the service was second to none. We had the Mozzarella starter which was beautifully presented and tasted superb. For mains we had the lasagna and meatballs again absolutely top notch! THIS FOOD IS MADE WITH LOVE ❤️ and that’s the difference……. The wine is of excellent quality and it truly represents great value for money 💰 The service again gets a 10 out of 10 for us so well done 👏 We enjoy good food and wine and Nonnas was as good if not better than anything we could ask for! Thank you Joey for your beauti

Imagine a simpler time. You’re at your Italian friend’s grandmother’s house, where dinner is made the slow way because there’s nowhere else to be. It’s a long weekend, time is generous. You’ve already had her signature tipple, the one she still argues about with her doctor, and a little wine she schlepped back from Napoli. Her Trini friend drops by, bringing family recipes and big energy, sharing stories and food with her adopted New Yorker grandkids (you and your goober friends). This table is everything: cozy, welcoming, eclectic. You eat a hearty meal. She teaches you how to eat lamb brains, how to get every last bit of meat from the head. When you finish, she tells you she’s proud of you. Then the bill comes, and some of the magic slips away. You take a little home with you. This is wh
