Italian family’s acting career plays starring part in convoluted history of beloved neighborhood restaurant, which saw the boys of De Rossi family moving from Italy to U.S. in pursuit of stardom, then opening restaurants, finally ending in this one by the youngest. Italian film posters and memorabilia fill enormous dining rooms while Brazilian families and couples chow down on homemade pastas like house favorite carbonara with thick white sauce and ice cream, with emphasis on slow food preparation.
