Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Big Night is a 1996 indie comedy-drama film directed by Stanley Tucci and Campbell Scott, with an ensemble cast including Tucci, Minnie Driver, Ian Holm, Isabella Rossellini, and Tony Shalhoub.In 1950s New Jersey, immigrant brothers Primo (Shalhoub) and Secondo (Tucci) own a small Italian restaurant, but locals prefer the blander fare offered by their competitor Pascal (Holm). Closure seems certain, so the brothers decide to host one last "big night," providing free food (and a celebrity appearance in the form of King of the Swingers himself, Louis Prima) in the hopes of raising their profile and saving the business.Not to be confused with the 1951 Film Noir The Big Night. | |

Bittersweet Ending: The brothers make up after their quarrel, but will almost certainly be going back home. | |

Bilingual Dialogue: Primo, Secondo, and Gabriella have a tendency to switch back-and-forth between English and Italian mid-conversation. | |

Berserk Button: Don't ask Primo to "Americanise" his food. Just don't. When a customer asks for a side dish of spaghetti and meatballs, he goes berserk for two reasons: 1) Two starchy dishes? 2) Never put meatballs on spaghetti! | |

As Long as It Sounds Foreign | |
| Big Night / int_e3c20140 | comment |
As Long as It Sounds Foreign: Since Pascal is Italian, his name would more likely be "Pasquale," which is the Italian variation of the Francophone name "Pascal." Your Mileage May Vary on this being a subtle in-universe indication of the character's willingness to "Americanise." | |

Food Porn: Especially the timpano (pictured above). Roger Ebert put the film on par with Like Water for Chocolate, Babette's Feast and Tampopo. | |
