Unlike most restaurants, the Enoteca Maria
Restaurant in New York offers only home-cooked food by grand mas coming from
across the world.
Joe Scaravella, a 61-year-old
Italian-American born and raised in New York, opened a restaurant in 2007.
Having lost almost all his family members, he tried to recreate the feeling of
home-cooked meal in his restaurant.
He employed (雇佣) grandmas from different parts of Italy at
first, and later, he begin hiring grandmas from other countries like Brazil,
France and Greece. He built two kitchens in the restaurant: one for Italian
grandmas to cook during lunchtime and the other for grandmas from other
countries to cook every evening. The menus in the restaurant are constantly (不断地) changing because what is
being served depends on the grandmas who are on duty.
The restaurant opens five a week from
Wednesday to Sunday. At present, there are more than 40 grandmas working in it.
Most of them came to the U. S. with their children, helping take care of their
grandchildren Scaravella give them the chance to express themselves in a
culinary (烹饪的)way.
The Enoteca Maria Restaurant has received
positive reviews since its opening. Customers are ingested by its delicious
food, comfortable environment and most importantly, the grandma who may remind
them of their own.
