Critics Consensus

Like a homey dish prepared for family, Nonnas just wants to provide heaping helpings of comfort — and does so with enough charm that audiences may want seconds.

Carlos Aguilar

Variety

Repeatedly drives home its point about the unifying force of a homecooked meal as an embodiment of community, and even as it overcrowds its narrative pot with too many unnecessary condiments that get lost in the mix, the result is ultimately palatable.

You're not going to be planted at the edge of your seat here, but "Nonnas" has ample pleasures.

Rated: 3/4

"Nonnas" follows a familiar underdog formula and checks off story beats you can set your watch by.

Nonnas” was not groundbreaking or edgy, but it was pleasant and heartfelt. If you let yourself be comforted and relax into this movie, there’s a good chance that at the end you will feel some emotion akin to “I needed that.”

Rated: B+

Mac the Movie Guy

Representational of what is essentially a labor of love, the film that depicts the story of Nonas isn’t made with the same love and care as the real deal. It’s more like Olive Garden, for people who like Olive Garden.

Rated: 74/100

If you’re looking for a story that’s equal parts heartwarming and hilarious, Nonnas is your ticket. Just don’t watch it hungry.

This is a lovely, feel-good film based on the real life story of a man determined to open a restaurant staffed by grandmothers. It’s a feel-good, comforting watch and Vince Vaugh’s portrayal of protagonist Joe brings a relatable everyman quality to has the audience immediately on his side in determination that his venture is successful in honour of his family.

I went into Nonna's with no expectations and came out pleasantly surprised and quite entertained. I loved the casting of all the ladies in the kitchen. Vince delivers as usual.

This movie is what you'd get if you asked chat gbt to write a movie about ALL the Italian American stereotypes. Horrible writing, horrible acting and not even that funny.

Such an uplifting, heartwarming movie!!! In a day when it’s hard to get great reviews for beautiful, wholesome movies you’re not afraid to watch with the whole family, this perfectly fit the bill!!! And we are huge Vince Vaughn fans-didn’t think we could love him more!! The ladies-wow! Now we have to go back to visit NY so we can eat there!
