Angela, owner of the local gift cooperative Artique, created this store to honor her mother, and Nonna’s best friend – “Oma.” Nonna and Oma represent two cherished friends from distinct worlds—Italy & Germany—who found a common bond in their love for connecting with loved ones – most often by cooking and entertaining.
Nonna. Oma. Abuela. Nana. Meemaw. Gigi. Mimi. Grandma.
Nonna & Oma’s is not a traditional kitchen store. It is more than just a lineup of gadgets and pans; it is ALL about gathering together.
Their kitchens were more than just spaces for preparing meals; it was where traditions mingled, recipes were exchanged, and cultures blended. In our store, we hope to celebrate their friendship by inspiring others to gather together and create cherished memories.
Whether it is a sit down family dinner, casual cocktails with friends or a large party in your backyard – our aim is to rouse your tastebuds and incite your desire to create any excuse to make more meaningful connections.
Since Oma’s death in 2023, Nonna has felt lost and lonely. There is a void in her heart and continued yearning for more time with her dear friend. More than ever, Angela has witnessed the importance of making strong human connections. Life is short. Make it sweet. Enjoy it more by surrounding yourself with loved ones.
Here at Nonna & Oma’s in Crossgates Mall, you can experience the rich flavors and cultural impact from the kitchens of many local and regional small business food purveyors. Nonna & Oma’s friendship was born 40 years ago in this upstate NY community and has inspired this unique culinary journey.
We hope you will join us in savoring the flavors of their story and making new memories of your own. Come in and connect with us!
Angela, owner of the local gift cooperative Artique, and owner of Nonna and Oma’s.
