    Dinner Rush is gourmet cinema, served with a generous helping of culinary panache. After countless commercials, music videos (including Michael Jackson's "Beat It"), and a few obscure features, director and restaurateur Bob Giraldi casts his own New York eatery as a TriBeCa hot spot where the owner (Danny Aiello) presides over a busy night of fine dining and mob entanglements. He's been a bookmaker for 25 years but he's going legit; his son (Edoardo Ballerini) is a nuovo cuisine genius, eager to inherit the business; the sous-chef (Kirk Acevedo) is deeply in debt to mafia thugs; an art-dealer snob (Mark Margolis) is antagonizing his waitress (Summer Phoenix); a charming stranger (John Corbett) harbors a climactic surprise; and a powerful food critic (Sandra Bernhard) is ready to pounce on any wrong move. In perfect control of this bustling environment, Giraldi directs like a great chef cooks: with Altmanesque delicacy, confident that every ingredient is vital to the success of his creation. It's utterly delicious. --Jeff Shannon

    5 out of 5 stars Well Done!.......2007-04-24

    Tastefully shot in New York City, Dinner Rush is a seductive little number that delivers. Having worked in restaurants for several years, this movie serves up an authenticity that could only be captured by an insiders view. For those of you who love working in restaurants this movie is a winner.

    5 out of 5 stars Delicious entree, full of surprises.......2007-04-13

    This movie from 2002 was recommended to me by close friends. And were
    they on target. The film is about a night in an upscale Italian eatery
    in Tribeca Village. It is filmed from the kitchen and the main floor.
    The first half introduces the viewer to the various people attending the
    restaurant that night and the chef and his staff working in the kitchen.
    These scenes are so realistic, it almost seems like a documentary. But
    as the plot develops, tension builds, with one of the most unexpected
    and satisfying endings of any film in recent memory. DO NOT MISS THIS!

    4 out of 5 stars Don't bother to relax !.......2007-04-02

    If you enjoy enjoy gangland and the world of food you will be well rewarded. A most, most enjoyable film!

    4 out of 5 stars good surprise.......2006-11-06

    i was expecting some kind of TV movie and i had the pleasure to discover a very clever flick with a remarquable cast (DannyAiello being always very good) . It's not the Godfather but a nice moment with loads of humanity

    5 out of 5 stars Dessert & "just desserts".......2006-10-22

    Danny Aiello, in superb form, heads a terrific and perfectly cast ensemble in this fast-paced drama of crime and punishment. You'll jump from food to furor as the exceptional editing takes you on a one night jaunt into the lives and longings of the vain and vulgar. The plot unfolds as a "Prix Fixe" menu with all the trimmings being served without disturbing the main course.
    Director Bob Giraldi is flawless in his ability to present this potpourri with total viewer comprehension. Everything fits into place and the finale can rival Hitchcock any day of the week. Mark Margolis and Sandra Bernhard provide the comic relief with John Corbett so subtle as the lonely guy looking for friends.
    A real feast.
