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

[@estefanymendoza5490]

What a bright and beautiful personality she has

[@Romafood]

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

[@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.

@@mygirldarby You get guys on Sardinia living over 100 and STILL looking after their vineyards.

[@TheJoStephan]

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.

[@pauljakeman]

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

She’s doing what feeds her soul and fills her with ❤

[@TheGodYouWishYouKnew]

“You don’t measure?” - never been around an Italian grandma I reckon.

[@WhyNotSmile74]

No better teacher than a grandma

[@BigDeeDee90]

She is so adorable but yet such an inspiration, she doesn't 'have' passion, she IS passion! How can I become one of her adopted kids haha Loved this video so much!

Italian Grandmas Rock!!!

[@AnhNguyen-il5yl]

She is beautiful in every sense of the word ❤

[@Remybrook]

Lovely, I lived in Napoli for 5 years and had meals like this. Food in Italy 🇮🇹 varies by region, sometimes just town to town.

[@Karen-n9q]

What a sweet grandma!!

[@ericl9459]

I miss my grandma. She’s not here anymore 😢

[@christineconte2245]

Me too.❤

[@annmarieaspromonte1086]

Neapolitans + their cuisine, probably the best of Italy.

[@CaliSunshine209]

Reminds me of my grandma would love to taste her food ik she make food with love

[@BubbleGumzKorner]

I like how she just shows up to her part time job with a mission in mind and at no point discussed it with anyone. Do customers just order Nonna's Dinner? Since it's what SHE decides that day?😂

[@jenniferjones1819]

Sign me up! I miss my Nonna ❤️

[@Rosenbones]

I saw a video about this place yeaaaaaaars ago. Im so glad its still open!!
