00:00As a New Yorker, I can tell you there's only one reason why I'm going to Staten Island.
00:04Step into this peppy Italian wine eatery and you are met with cuisine from around the world,
00:08all made by real grandmas who are invited as higher chefs to cook meals inspired by their
00:13family recipes. I had a chance to learn how to make traditional Sri Lankan and Japanese dishes
00:18from two chefs affectionately known in the restaurant as Nona's. All of the food was so
00:22flavorful and its founder Joe Scaravella has a wine selection to pair with any meal too.
00:26Now it's important to note the menu changes depending on which Nona is at Anoteca Maria,
00:31so make sure to call ahead of time to book your reservation.
00:33After my experience, I can feel this place is rooted in family.
