Trattoria

An earlier short film by Jason Wolos offered such a spot-on insight into restaurant procedures that it was used for training new waiters. The director continued with this feature debut, which follows highly experienced Sal as he starts Cinquecento, a new restaurant in San Francisco with high. The multi-layered and realistic portrait of the complex micro-world of restaurant operations is combined with input from real chefs and observes its protagonists, especially Sal and his son Vince, who's slowly finding his way to the father, in an adventure of love for food, face-to-face with customers, critics, and the complicated relationships behind the scenes.
