Italian Food

At Enoteca Maria, the chefs are nonne, or Italian grandmothers, whose culinary expertise comes from years of cooking for their families. Now, they invoke the food wisdom, artisanal methods, and recipes—handed down for generations—that are indigenous to their regions of Italy. Each nonna/chef creates her menu from whatever looks inspiring in her pantry—spontaneously, the way family meals evolve. Here are the recipes and stories from the kitchen at Enoteca Maria, a beautiful compendium of food and nostalgia, capturing flavors from the heart of Italy.

We loved it so much that we started dreaming of opening a restaurant together. Nonno taught us all about running a business, and we started saving. We all got jobs and made a plan. It took us a decade, but we finally had what we needed. We found a building in Billings, Montana and opened our much-anticipated restaurant. We no longer have Nonna with us, but we know that she's proudly watching from Heaven. ...
