Papa Angioli’s latest idea: to replace the oregano with marijuana. Eventually the onlookers go back inside to drink more, Leo and Nikki collapse on the field (still in the rain), their bodies intertwined, and I’m placing a call to the emergency room because they are on the brink of illness!Īs part of the long-running Campo-Angioli feud, the two fathers and pizzeria owners try to prank one another as much as possible. With every goal Leo makes, Nikki drinks a shot with every goal she blocks, he drinks one. Like, weird wet like, how-can-you-flirt-when-you’re-actively-courting-pneumonia wet. There is such a thing, it becomes clear quite quickly, as being too wet. Little Italy does: when Leo and Nikki run into each other the night she returns to Little Italy, they start flirtatiously bickering, and he invites her to settle their playful argument outside with a … soccer game? In the middle of the night? In the pouring rain? And the entire bar of adult patrons follows them outside to watch? He kicks the ball around a few times, and she - barefoot, in a strapless, short bodycon dress, in a monsoon - tries to block his kicks. No other romantic comedies should even try to play with soccer after She’s the Man, the masterpiece starring Amanda Bynes and Channing Tatum. I watched this movie so you don’t have to, and it is absolutely incumbent upon me as a pizza lover to report the seven craziest things that happen in it. When Nikki returns home to get her visa straightened out so she can can work in London as a chef, sparks fly. And what better way to test the rivalry than two budding romances? Leo and Nikki are falling in love, of course, but so are their respective single grandparents (Andrea Martin and Danny Aiello). No one knows exactly how or why, but when we meet them, the families are the Montagues and Capulets of the Canadian pizza business. Leo Campo’s ( Hayden Christensen) father is the “don of dough,” and Nikki Angioli’s (Emma Roberts) dad is the “maestro of marinara.” The two families once owned and operated Canadian Little Italy’s most successful pizza joint until a mystery feud spoiled their partnership. There are no declarations of love over red wine, no bustling, well-lit family dinners where our lovers make eye contact and smirk across a crowded table, not even a montage set to “Hey Mambo.” It has nothing in common with any real Italian romance movies, say, Call Me by Your Name, Under the Tuscan Sun, or The Wedding Planner, in which Jennifer Lopez plays a full-blooded Italian woman. Little Italy might not be the love story we want (that’s To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before), but it is the love story we probably deserve: convoluted, confusing, unsexy, and heartfelt-adjacent. Viva marinara sauce, viva crucifix necklaces, viva neighborhoods where everyone knows your name, viva Italia, and every other Italian stereotype! Every one of them converges in Little Italy, a romantic comedy truly unlike any other movie you’ll see this year: Anakin Skywalker (from the Star Wars prequels) dates Addie Singer (from Nickelodeon’s Unfabulous), and all of Canadian Little Italy has to pay the price. Choose an Italian pasta or a delicious pizza, to discuss the unique impressions you have received of the city.Emma Roberts and Hayden Christensen making pizza and falling in love. That is why a Venice Pass is convenient to have because entry to many sights is free and you can sip the lines!Įnd the day with a delicious dinner on one of the cozy terraces in the center of Venice.

It is actually not a city, but an interplay of 118 islands in the lagoon, 150 canals, 400 bridges and bridges and thousands of streets and alleys.
