When I first saw BIG NIGHT starring Stanley Tucci, Tony Shalhoub, Isabella Rossellini, and Minnie Driver, I immediately bought the film for its charm, wit, and, of course, food -- Italiano style! I'm still learning the recipes. If anyone would like to try them, below is the link. Piacere il pasto!

Synopsis:
Primo and Secondo are two brothers who have emigrated from Italy to open an Italian restaurant in America. Primo is the irascible and gifted chef, brilliant in his culinary genius, but determined not to squander his talent on making the routine dishes that customers expect. Secondo is the smooth front-man, trying to keep the restaurant financially afloat, despite few patrons other than a poor artist who pays with his paintings. The owner of the nearby Pascal’s restaurant, enormously successful (despite its mediocre fare), offers a solution – he will call his friend, a big-time jazz musician, to play a special benefit at their restaurant. Primo begins to prepare his masterpiece, a feast of a lifetime, for the brothers’ big night…

I think if I had a big night like that, I'd die and go to heaven. K. :)
Isn't it wonderful, K.?! There are quite a few other food films, but this one is so visual -- I could smell the food and feel the brother's frustrations and joy! :))
