There are few things as comforting as food, especially when it’s cooked by the people who know and love us best. Most people only get to eat their family’s signature dishes on holidays, or whenever they’re visiting home. This is not the case in Nonnas, Stephen Chbosky’s heartfelt drama about a Staten Island restaurant only serving food prepared by grandmothers. If you start to feel your stomach growl after watching the trailer above, you’re not the only one.

Nonnas follows Joe (Vince Vaughn), who, after losing his mom and grandmother, turns to their generations-old recipes for solace and direction. With the money from his mom’s insurance and a little help from his friends, he opens Enoteca Maria, an old-school Italian spot that staffs four grandmothers, or “nonnas,” from different cities in Italy, who share their dishes with the neighborhood.

Joe isn’t the only character craving the comfort of his family’s culinary traditions. He’s joined by Olivia (Linda Cardellini), with whom he reconnects at an Italian market years after standing her up at prom, and his best friend Bruno (Joe Manganiello), both of whom have experienced the power of a meal cooked with love. And although they’re on the other side of the dish, the four nonnas — Roberta (Lorraine Bracco), Antonella (Brenda Vaccaro), Teresa (Talia Shire), and Gia (Susan Sarandon) — are equally transformed by the restaurant, and the history and potential for rediscovery it presents.
