This NYC Restaurant’s Food Is Cooked With Love by Grandmas From Around the World
Nonnas From Five Continents Cook Together

Discover Staten Island's Enoteca Maria, where grandmothers from around the globe serve authentic dishes filled with love and tradition.
At Enoteca Maria on Staten Island, actual grandmothers from different countries take turns running the kitchen, each bringing their family recipes and cooking techniques from home. One night you'll get Serbian grandma's ćevapi, the next it's an Italian nonna's hand-rolled pasta, then maybe Peruvian abuela's anticuchos. It's like having dinner at your friend's grandmother's house, except your friend's grandmother might be from anywhere in the world and the stories are incredible.
Tip
Check their website before going - each night features a different grandmother cooking, so you can plan around which cuisine you're craving or just go for the surprise.
