Rather than bring you genuine Italian food just like Grandma use to make it, Jody Scaravella is bringing you authentic Nonna’s food. Enoteca Maria features a rotating roster of Italian grandmas specializing in cuisines from different regions of Italy – Milano, Viscenza, Napoli, Palermo; each bringing their own unique specialties to their night showcasing dishes from their specific regions made with fresh ingredients and prepared traditionally in sizeable portions. One day you may find Nonna Teresa’s Sicilian specialty, lasagne agli prosciutto e melanzane or pasta con sarde. Another day, it could be Adelena’a rustic Neapolitan cuisine, her favorite Tagliatelle alla Mantavana (with Pumpkin, Sausage, and Chestnuts) or torta rustica with figs. With current line-up of 8 chefs, it’s like having 8 restaurants in one, each day brings new flavors, new experience.

The space is long and slim with exposed bricks and industrial style lighting keeping the atmosphere casual, comfortable and family friendly. Reservations are for a 2-hour block so you don’t want to be in a rush instead, this is a place to experience food and enjoy being with friends and family as you eat.
