Nonnas in Training is a new project being rolled out by Enoteca Maria. Our aim is to keep alive the passing down of technique and knowledge from one generation to another, and from one culture to another. Every day we are open (Wed.-Sun.) we have a different international Nonna cooking at Enoteca Maria, and now from 12-3, they will be teaching how they make their signature dishes in a daily FREE one on one cooking class. The only catch is you don’t get to choose the nationality of the chef you will study under. Use the registration form here on the website to let us know your availability and we will contact you with your enrollment date to come in and receive hands on training from one of our acclaimed international Nonne.

Responding to that same inner drive that inspired him to open the Enoteca, Joe […]
With an appreciation of the good life, we have assembled a small list of resources where you can read and experience some of the finest and perhaps lesser-known wonders of Italian culture.
Tell us about your grandmother! We’d love to read your stories and see your photos of grandma. Does your grandmother have a favorite recipe? What’s that delectable dish she makes (or used to make) for you on Sundays? Is there a special photo of grandma you’d like to show?
