The second kitchen is what makes this place really special. It’s staffed with a rotating collection of international chefs. But they’re not just any chefs: they’re grandmothers from around the world, and they specialize in sharing local dishes from their home countries.

The “Nonnas of the World” come from all over the globe. Several are from Italy, but there are also representatives from Prague, Brazil, Japan, Argentina, and even Ecuador.
