Had “Nonnas” been made in the 1990s (and it very easily could have), it would’ve debuted on Lifetime, TLC, or the Hallmark Channel. It is a “throwback” in every sense of the word and is something you could watch with your grandmother. It’s only fitting, then, that “nonnas” is a name referring to Italian grandmothers.
