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

Dinner Rush is a jazzy and upbeat movie that covers the bustle and drama of a trendy Tribeca Italian restaurant from all sides, with the clientele, the wait staff, the kitchen, and the management all under the same roof but in separate worlds.

I don't believe I've ever watched anything with Danny Aiello in the cast that I didn't like. Chalk-up another. Rush Hour fits him to a T in the role of restauranteur. The entire picture is so well done that the viewer feels a part of a dining-out evening. The ending comes as a complete surprise. A major tip of the hat to everyone in the cast, the production crew and the director. PS: I only buy movies that will stand the test of time and this one is pure gold.

It is an interesting look at a night in a busy and popular New York restaurant. Everything goes right and wrong at the same time. The acting is top notch.

A sumptuous tasty dish of a small movie---good to look at, clever script, perfect casting. Aeillo is superb as a demurring wise guy, owner of a chic Manhattan nouveau cuisine Italian restaurant---at odds with his demanding chef (his eldest son) but protective of his gambling younger son. The movie consists of one busy night at the restaurant as two Brooklyn bookies attempt to muscle Aiello for a piece of the restaurant in return for his son's debt. John Corbett plays a delightfully unexpected role. ... Read More

I saw this movie on cable and didn't get to see it in its entirety, so I bought it. Money well spent. I love Danny Aiello. The story is strong and the food is awesome, But the ending is total Soprano. This movie is a great addition to any DVDcollection.
