I liked this movie a lot. I don't even remember where I heard of it, but somehow it ended up on my netflix list. Ironically, the next time I was eating at Gigino's, they also had a poster on the wall advertising the movie. Anyway, it's a really good movie and I think you'll especially enjoy it if you live in Tribeca and eat at Gigino's on a regular basis like we do. It's fun to watch because it's filmed at the real Gigino's but the restaurant is a very different restaurant than the real one. It's a cool movie and the ending ROCKED! Rent it!
Netflix Synopsis: Louis (Danny Aiello) is an aging bookie and restauranteur who's bemoaning the transformation of Gigino's -- his restaurant in the TriBeCa area of New York City -- from a down-to-earth, mom-and-pop Italian eatery to a pretentious, see-and-be-seen establishment. To make matters worse, Louis's son Udo (Edoardo Ballerini), a talented chef, wants to take over the restaurant … as do a pair of thugs who murdered Louis's partner.
