Is it just another evening at the hugely popular Italian restaurant of proprietor and bookmaker Louis Cropa in New York? Anything but as tonight's guests include; a local police detective and his wife specially invited by the owner; on the balcony rival bookmaker gangsters from Queens who want to become partners in the restaurant; in the corner renowned food critic 'the food nymph' is her usual demanding self; and at the bar, seemingly unnoticed, is Ken. As the evening continues enter Duncan, inveterate gambler and sous-chef on-the-line in the frenetic kitchen downstairs, who acts as the catalyst that causes the evening to draw to its inevitable, explosive, deadly conclusion.

隐忍的复仇故事,最后五分钟前一直是意餐馆的后厨烹饪与座客琐谈的纪实,虽有些长可看了也不令人厌烦。呈现爱情、姘情、亲情等师徒父子生活碎片之外,交代出两黑帮对经理的讹诈,结尾是经理雇的一帅杀手干净利落地在厕所嘣掉恶棍,不留痕迹。餐馆很亲切,小而杂乱,就像中国生意极好的馆子。 —— 小重山
单场景电影,前面的美食让你一点不会无聊,结尾的高潮让你回味无穷。 —— Zola
一座纽约的意大利餐馆映射美利坚大熔炉,白人黑人移民同性异性黑帮警察厨师艺术家评论家,逼仄舞台上群像纷呈,看似散乱却有一条线串联,肆意摆动,终结一拉紧,万籁俱寂,每个人都藏着故事,娓娓道来一气呵成,楼上用餐楼下厨房,一静一动,慢镜头让炒菜上菜如此优雅从容,电影如菜,需细嚼慢咽, —— 悲辛無盡獨行夜
小小一个餐厅,短短九十分钟,美食、人生皆尽观。★★★☆ —— Hinkly
