Five great scenes from five great films. Each goes as well with a SpagWednesday dinner as a good Chianti.
Andrew's Cafe may have been gutted, but our memories of the kitchen takeovers that transformed a greasy spoon into a silver spoon endure. For our BurgerMonday, SpagWednesday, WichThursday, FriFriday, CoffeeSaturday and DeliSunday pop-ups, we drew culinary superstars...
I had my first Negroni, the now wildly popular cocktail of gin, red vermouth and bitters, at a bar in the Prati district of Rome in 1994. The man next to me had one hand on a red cocktail, the other on a woman who looked exactly like Italian actress Monica Vitti...

Jeff – Don’t know it. I’ll try to dig it up.
Jeff – I found the Laurel & Hardy spaghetti clip. It’s from Saps at Sea and is now in its rightful place on the top 5 list.

Dino – Great suggestions. Brings us very close to 10. There is a great spaghetti shop in Bicycle Thief but I can’t find it on youtube.
This one from Lady and the Tramp is good too!

Daniel – Yes, that one must go in.
Any top 7 has to include the dinner scene from Saturday Night Fever.
