Primo and Secondo are two brothers who have emigrated from Italy to open an Italian restaurant in America. Primo is the irascible and gifted chef, brilliant in his culinary genius, but determined not to squander his talent on making the routine dishes that customers expect. Secondo is the smooth front-man, trying to keep the restaurant financially afloat, despite few patrons other than a poor artist who pays with his paintings. The owner of the nearby Pascal's restaurant, enormously successful (despite its mediocre fare), offers a solution, he will call his friend, a big-time jazz musician, to play a special benefit at their restaurant. Primo begins to prepare his masterpiece, a feast of a lifetime, for the brothers' big night.

| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertBy the end of the movie, we have been through an emotional and a sensual wringer, in a film of great wisdom and delight. |

| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThe real feast is in the mix of characters, each so finely and unschmaltzily delineated in a script so confident and controlled that even the most passing of participants comes alive. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenAn actor for sophisticated palates, Tucci's too good to stay obscure any longer. |
| Atlantic City WeeklyLori HoffmanA feast of great acting and tender, small moments |

| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliIn addition to their deft skill with light drama, the directors understand well-placed humor, and throw just the right amount of comedy into the mix to make Big Night fun without turning it into an outright farce. |
