Audience Member I loved this movie. I fell right into the story: the acting, the story , but especially the pace: it was so friggin real. I have lived in San Francisco for over forty years and it was refreshing to see some new [not your usual ] vistas. The way the film moved me was very unexpected. I must warn you: don;t watch on an empty stomach: I was starvin' afterwards [beautiful food presentation] ps I have watched it four time [the last 3 on a full stomach... Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Trattoria is an engaging look into the San Francisco food scene told through the eyes of a thoroughbred chef who is trying to compete with the 'flavor of the month' restaurants in town. This is a heartwarming family story that provides belly laughs along with drama. Above all, it will make you hungry!! The food shots are amazing. I just recently saw Jon Favreau's 'Chef', which was another outstanding foodie movie. If you like Chef, check out this movie. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member TRATTORIA is an enjoyable father/son story set in the culinary world of San Francisco. Though the theme is well worn, writer/director Jason Wolos, does a nice job setting the tale in the highly competitive San Francisco food scene. Inter-spliced footage of local celebrity chefs (Traci Des Jardins, Elizabeth Falkner, etc.) talking directly into the camera effectively give testimony to the all consuming nature of the restaurant business and credence to the distance and animosity between the father, Chef Sal Sartini (Tony Denison) and his estranged son, Vince (John Patrick Amedori). Equally validated is Chef Sal's reluctance to teach Vince his trade as to succeed, one must dedicate their life to the kitchen and little else. Where cooking has been the only vehicle for Chef Sal to express his emotions, the ending feels overly emotional and effusive. However, TRATTORIA will surely please fans of competitive cooking shows (TOP CHEF, CHOPPED, etc.), and is ultimately like a home cooked meal - warm and inviting.
