BIG NIGHT

Big Night is a 1996 American motion picture drama with comedic overtones directed by Campbell Scott and Stanley Tucci.  Scott and Tucci won the New York Film Critics Circle Award and the Boston Society of Film Critics Award for Best New Director. Tucci heads the cast, with Tony Shalhoub, Minnie Driver and Isabella Rossellini.

The film, set on the New Jersey Shore in the 1950s, tells the story of two Italian immigrant brothers from Abruzzo who own and operate a restaurant called "Paradise." One brother, Primo (Tony Shalhoub), is a brilliant, perfectionist chef who chafes under their few customers' expectations of "Americanized" Italian food. Their uncle's offer for them to return to Rome to help with his restaurant is growing in appeal to Primo. The younger brother, Secondo (Tucci), is the restaurant manager, a man enamoured of the possibilities presented by their new endeavour and life in America. Despite Secondo's efforts and Primo's magnificent food, their restaurant is failing.

The film offers a series of Italian dishes prepared in a beautiful way.
