The 90-Year-Old Italian Grandma Running an Iconic NYC Restaurant | Bon Appétit

[@christiantaylor1109]

she looks amazing for 90

[@felix121984]

Its 2020 not 1980 anymore !

[@NoraLuzCalugas]

NONNA!

[@mygirldarby]

​@felix121984 what does that have to do with anything? In 1980 the same percentage of people lived into their 90's and there were people just like this woman back then too. "Life expectancy" has only gotten longer because infant mortality rates have dropped significantly. Humans have always had the same lifespan, however. It has not lengthened. Plato lived into his 80's.

I was fascinated too, extraordinary worker, great passion and love

Protect this lady at all costs! I’d love a grandma or mother in law like her.

[@tbtb1249]

Both of my grandmothers, may they rest in peace, were amazing cooks. I miss them both. *Le nonne sono fantastiche*

[@paidistapleton6208]

I think the next generation of grandmother's will not live up to the same standards

[@pauljordan4452]

Mine too. They taught their kids to cook.

[@bernieappugliese2029]
