In a restaurant run by two Italian immigrants, the tables sit empty despite the extraordinary talents of Primo the chef (Tony Shalhoub, “Monk”) and the ambitious efforts of his brother Secondo (Stanley Tucci).

From the first bite to the last, this critically-acclaimed movie dishes up an irresistible evening of scrumptious entertainment.
