In a world rife with Facebook arguments and constant political disagreements, there’s one thing we can agree on: There’s nothing like Grandma’s cooking! Whether or not your grandmother is still alive and making food for you, you can get some of Granny’s/Nanny’s/Nana’s/Nonna’s best dishes right here in New York!

Enoteca Maria actually has two kitchens. One is a traditional restaurant kitchen that provides a fixed menu of various Italian dishes.

The second kitchen is what makes this place really special. It's staffed with a rotating collection of international chefs. But they're not just any chefs: they're grandmothers from around the world, and they specialize in sharing local dishes from their home countries.

The "Nonnas of the World" come from all over the globe. Several are from Italy, but there are also representatives from Prague, Brazil, Japan, Argentina, and even Ecuador.
