A wonderful story of two brothers and of course, the food. From simple moments like Tucci's character leveling a table in the empty restaurant, to the humor of the argument about risotto, this film captures the passion and struggle of restaurant life and tells an immigrant story without romanticization. And one of the best ending scenes in film, so subtle and perfect for the subject.
