Three Grandmas. One Kitchen. A Lifetime of Love.
Ciao. We’re Maria, Lucia, and Teresa three Italian grandmas living in New York who believe the heart of every home is the kitchen. Welcome to Nonna’s Dishes, our little corner of the internet where generations of tradition, flavor, and love come together.
How It All Began
Our story started decades ago at a community potluck in Queens. Each of us brought something from our family tables: Maria’s lasagna, Lucia’s eggplant parmigiana, and Teresa’s biscotti. We traded recipes, shared memories, and quickly realized we had more in common than our food. A friendship was born and with it, a tradition.
Since that day, we’ve gathered every Sunday to cook, laugh, and reminisce. Over the years, those gatherings became more than just meals. They became a way to preserve our heritage and pass on the values and flavors we grew up with.
Why We Started This Site
As our families grew and times changed, we wanted a way to keep our recipes alive not just for our children and grandchildren, but for anyone searching for comfort in a home-cooked dish. Nonna’s Dishes is our way of sharing what we know, what we’ve lived, and what we continue to learn in the kitchen.
Our mission is simple:
To share real, heartfelt Italian recipes that honor the past while embracing the present.
What You’ll Find Here
Every recipe we post has a story. From handmade gnocchi and simmering sauces to rustic breads and classic desserts, everything is tested in our kitchens and written for yours. Whether you’re learning to cook or looking to reconnect with your roots, our hope is that each dish brings a little warmth to your home.
Join Us at the Table
Picture this: three grandmothers in the kitchen, flour on our aprons, exchanging stories while a pot of sauce bubbles on the stove. That’s the heart of Nonna’s Dishes. It’s not just a blog it’s a family table, and you’re invited.
With care and tradition,
Maria, Lucia, and Teresa
