BIG NIGHT

Two brothers from Abruzzo, Primo The Chef) and his brother Secondo (maitre'd Manager) own a failing restaurant called Pradise on the Jersey Shore of the 1950s. It's not that the restaurant is not good, it is, Chef Primo is making some awesomely authentic Italian Food that is quite good. The only problem is that the customers don't appreciate how good it is. They are used to and want the socalled Americanized Italian Food and bother Secondo is the one working out on the dining room floor and has to deal with customer requests and complaints and tries to get his brother Chef Primo to make the food the customers want. What they want is not authentic and Primo refuses to make such things.

The popular Band Leader Louis Prima is coming to town and competing restuarantuer Pascal who owns the nearby Italian Restaurant "Pascal's" says he knows Louis Prima and he will get him to go to the brothers restaurant in hops of helping to boost business if people know that the famous Italian-American singer Louis Prima likes to eat there. So the brother plan to make a special banquet for the esteemed guest, with the center piece of the meal being a Timpano.Timpano is an elaborate dish made of a pastry hell set in a drum which is a timpano pan  where the dish gets its name. The Timpano is stuffed with Pasta, Meat Ragu, and Cheese and baked in the oven.

The filming of the making of the Timpano is a highlight and most famous part of the  film as well as when the brothers serve the Timpano and Pascal goes up to Primo and says, "This is so Fucking Good I shoudl Kill You," and Pascal proceeds to Kiss and Hug Primo. In the end Louis Prima never shows.
