  • Love this scene-true Italian food!!

  • Comment removed

  • Never watch this movie on an empty stomach. Every scene is delicious..Americans have no clue how to eat good Italian food. Especially risotto!

  • great movie =)

  • no soup for you!

  • I think I want Risotto tonight or Spaghetti

  • This is so true. I'm an Italian living abroad and I educated all my friends on how to eat certain things properly and on how some thing REALLY are.

    And this is a brilliant, underrated movie that is often under the radar.

  • "she likes starch!" "Bitch!"

  • Was the chef Tony Shaloub? That looked a lot like him...

  • Just make the spaghetti you whiners.

  • **sigh** I hate being American....

  • Is That Mark Anthony???

  • @theELVISdoctors That is, indeed Mark Anthony. I watched this movie when it came out, and I've seen it on TV since then, and I only just found out that kid was Mark Anthony.

  • A perfect film.

  • china japan korea india singapore vietnam middle east thailand indonesia=asia win

  • This is such a wonderful movie !!!!!!!

  • She should have just ordered the spaghetti instead.

  • Very hard my ass, when the french cook hardly anything is on the plate but fancy designs. Now when Italians cook, fuck the fancy designs, they cook so a man can eat and have leftovers to take with!!! Italians are the model for all cooking and that's that, get use too it. We are the very best!!!

  • @gallogotti79 Bullshit, you obviously never had a 3 star French meal. It's as good as the great Italian kitchen. Nothing more... nothing less.

  • @yvesvangelre Glad you know me so well to assume where I've been in my life stranger!! In my travels I've had some great cuisine, but in France 3 star or not I find fancy design plates are more important than how much food you get on your plate,ok?!? In Italy you get more bang for your buck, got it mamaluke?? In America, Italian-American cuisine beats them all especially in New England, Connecticut to be exact!! Exceptional food and as much as you can take home as possible, people like that!

  • @gallogotti79 I just got back from playing two jazz festivals in Sicily and I swear they fed me more food in the two days than I've eaten in to weeks. AND it was the BEST ever pasta, ice crea, meat and everything I have ever had ANYWHERE and I have travlled a lot!

  • @gallogotti79 l'hai detto, amico ^___^

  • "Oh that looks good, you got leaves with yours."

    HAHAHHAHAHAHA

  • Primo is damn right...how do they ?!?!?

    Ma quand'e' che sti americani imparerranno a mangiare ? Quanto dovremo insegnare ancora loro ? OMG

  • Isn't the cook the soup Nazi from Seinfeld???

  • No different guy, that is Tony Shalub, from the show Monk. Not sure of the name of the soup Nazi.

  • I would *LOVE* to see this movie! :)

  • I don't see the big deal with meatballs. Who cares...

  • Primo was awesome in this scene. "No! She's a criminal! I want to talk to her!"

  • THEY ARE FROM "ABRUZZO"!!!!!!

  • Anthony Bourdain really did hit this scene when he mentioned it....Jesus Christ.

  • Bourdain mentions this scene? I want to see that! Was it on TV or one of his books?

  • Yep, he does. Right here: watch?v=AyQvTefwP48

  • @DJsunkid its one of the italy episodes. He visits a restaurant serving the perfect fish risotto.

  • @DJsunkid It was on No reservations when he talks about the goh risotto

  • @DJsunkid did you ever find that clip, I want to see that too!

  • Brilliant film! I love it! Its more Italian than even The Godfather, if you as me.

  • blasphemy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • ha ha it's just my opinion! Don't get me wrong, I love me some godfather. But this is brilliant. No guns, no explosions. Just an excellent film!

  • yeah, no problem. the big lebowski still stomps all other films to pieces

  • I'd have to agree with you there. One of the finest movies ever. My third favorite of all time.

  • One of my favorites too.

  • grande!!!

  • Stronzo americani. To be fair americans are more accepting and cultured than these nitwits of the 1950s "red scare", McCarthy, nuclear family era. I can only speak for the east coast of course.

  • ITALIAN (American) MEN can: cook, fight, dress up, LOVE Ladies , dance, sing, enjoy life, show respect to ladies, drive cars, make movies, design, etc , etc

  • that's right! food culture must be preserved, if people don't like it: you have to teach them...

  • This is what happens when you try and turn a culture into a commodity through cuisine. Americans seems to feel like they've experienced a whole culture through some simple dish. It's a little ethnocentric.

  • We wnt 2 a neiborhood restrnt in Roma tht 2 brothers ownd. One brother wz the frontman (Tucci) & the other brother wz the Chf (Shaloub). However roles wr revised. It wz absolutely hilarious. We couldn't help but thnk of the movie. Fightng screamng & tamtrums in the ktchen & cool outside the ktchn. No menus. It wz one of the best evenings we hd in Roma, great food & great entertainment. Oh, the brothers joined us 4 a chin wag. I speak Italian so it wz really funny. IT WZ OUR BIG NGHT.

  • The risotto is different than I've prepared it... they add something to it at the table? If someone could explain it to me it would be great.

  • If you watch closely it looks like he was spooning the risotto at the table. Her plate was empty at first.

  • lol, im trained classic french, and have worked in an italian restaurant, imagine the discussions we had lol, i stand by french tho,

    need that cream :)

  • you stand by the french? They knew(and still don't know anything) nothing about cuisine until Catherine Demedici & her entourage arrived from Florence to train the french cooks!

  • with all do respect, that kind of arrogance will most def keep me out youre restaurant, i hate that snobism. i am thought that staying humble will help Love to come out youre hands, arrongance wont taste good. ever.

  • Well, with all do respect, carry on eating hot dogs!

  • I'm italian and I'd been working in a italian restaurant in London. The worst a custumer asked for was pizza with cappuccino as a drink! She was another criminal. I didnt let her have it. Another one asked for "lasagne al forno" as written on the menu but "please can they not be al forno?" (al forno mean "cooked in the oven") how the hell can you cook lasegne otherwise?!!! in a frying pan????!!!BBQ????!!!! pmsl

  • evidence of the worldwide epidemic of barbarism..........bring back the Monarchy & Aristocracy!!!

  • Thank You!

  • That is so funny, I'm on the floor, and my arms hurt. My mom made the simple Italian. She was born in Palermo. Her stuff was consistent over the many many years but good.

  • What's wrong with pizza with cappuccino?

  • a bit like having Cornflakes with Beer.....

  • I'd say more like cake with gravy...

  • @JohnWoo Don't ever ask it if you go to Italy!!!

  • right!!!

  • I would do the same!!

  • Very hard to believe that the Italians taught the French how to cook.

  • Believe it. France added cream and butter and pretence, and decided that they were the first ones to ever cook. They even write that in culinary textbooks, but it's lies; like Alexander Graham Bell.

  • @DJsunkid Finally!!! Thank you! Graham Bell was a lier son of a ......!!!

  • @DJsunkid Greatest comment of all time

  • consult your history books, it was Catherine DeMedici from Florence that taught the french to cook. The french smother everything in cream & consider it "haute" cuisine.......ridiculous! Parallels the fact that they smother themselves in perfume to cover the stench of body odor!!

  • @Marseglia12345 Really?

  • thats cool, maybe i will =)

  • story of the fathers life. Great movie, art at its climax

  • of my fathers life sorry :D oops

  • I'm always looking for this movie on DVD. I've never seen it but I know I'd love it.

  • Get it from Barnes & Noble for very cheap!

    it's so worth it

  • Reminds me of when I heard : "How come the ravioli isn't square?" True story.

  • This movie was on IFC like 593458030358 times and EVERY TIME I ONLY CAUGHT THE LAST FEW MINUTES WHERE MARC ANTHONY MAKES EGGS

  • I like it but the scene where they talk about rain is great as well.

  • can someone tell me where i can watch this movie online? please!!

  • mafiosa... I tried that... I never found Big Night online, so I ordered it from Barnes & Noble for like 8$! IT WAS WORTH IT for the music alone... not to mention the fabulous acting and cooking!!!

  • One of the best, if not the best, films centered around cuisine and family. Both, in their own way, difficult things to master. A great movie that sadly isn't that well known.

  • I always feel like eating pasta and listening to Louis Prima after watching that great movie!. (actually I always feel that way, but this movie gives me a good excuse)!

  • Marc is so young.

  • That's Marc Anthony, right? How come no-one's saying anything?

  • @enderwigginfan Yah!

  • One of the greatest restaurant movies - full of real-life scenes.
