Our Review

Set during the early 1950s, Joseph Tropiano's Big Night—now a major motion picture starring Stanley Tucci and Minnie Driver—is a story of love and linguini, purity and compromise. Big Night takes a poignant and pointed look at Old World vs. New World values and provides a rueful assessment of the American Dream. In a New Jersey town, two Italian immigrant brothers struggle to keep their restaurant afloat. Includes recipes!
