Enoteca Maria & Joe Scaravella The staff of Enoteca Maria continues to serve customers authentic meals made by nonnas.

More Enoteca Maria, which is a real restaurant with the same concept in Staten Island, finally sees success at the end of the movie.

The Netflix movie, which is based on a true story, follows Joe Scaravella (Vince Vaughn) as he quits his day job to open an Italian restaurant, Enoteca Maria, run by four "nonnas" in Staten Island.

Joe's restaurant, Enoteca Maria, serves as the film's central focus, drawing from a unique, real-life inspiration.

He’s a real artist,” he said after visiting Enoteca Maria. Meeting the man behind the story helped Vaughn anchor his performance in something tangible and timeless.
