Not what I expected - a little too religious
After reading the description of this book, I thought there would be more stories about growing up in an Italian household with an Italian Nonna.

Nonna is Domenica Maria D’Amore, the author’s maternal grandmother and matriarch of a large Italian family. In the opening chapter, she is described as a woman of customs and traditions, one who pushed the limits of kindness to include thoughtfulness, consideration, concern, gentleness, respectfulness, politeness, and more. In the final chapter, reflecting on Nonna’s death from cancer at age 58, Iezzi proclaims her to be one of the most important people in his life. A composition he wrote at that time called her “the best grandmother and the smartest storyteller in the whole world” who knew “everything in life and knew the stories of all the great people and saints that ever lived in the world.” The intervening chapters are filled with anecdotes involving a variety of events and individuals that provide insight into this family as well as an earlier culture.

Great Short Stories
This book is filled with delightful short stories of a boy and his Italian grandmother. What a wonderful age to have grown up in.

These stories are more personal anectdotes about the author’s family than stories revealing faith teaching or morals. Our children still enjoy hearing about Nonna and Vinzee and there are still lessons to be learned, but the chapters are not as succinct and pithy as the first ‘Coffee With Nonna’.

Entertaining, but not what I expected
This is an entertaining book, but somehow I thought the stories would be about families, and the times that came before.

What I liked the most about this book was the beautiful relationship that Vincent Iezzi had with his Nonna. It reminded me so very much of my Italian family and upbringing, and the closeness that I was blessed to share with my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
I liked that his Nonna’s stories always brought God into them, and morality was of utmost importance. It most definitely can be used as a communication tool in family life.
It is a great book for both the young and old. Cannot keep this book to yourself, as it must be shared. I have already lent my copy to one of my daughters, and will continue to share it. It will definitely be on my Christmas gift-giving list.
