<p><span id="dropcap">F</span>eatured in this year&#8217;s Sarasota Film Festival, <em>A Table In Heaven</em> presents an arrestingly candid look at the family dynamics behind one of New York&#8217;s most glittering restaurants, Le Cirque.</p>
<p>Granted remarkable access, filmmaker Andrew Rossi, spent four years chronicling the family of Sirio Maccione at work and at home. A Tuscan immigrant, Signor Maccione started as a handsome young waiter who rose to power as maitre d&#8217; and restaurateur, all the while feeding and flattering a celebrity clientele that included Onassis and Henry Kissinger. The unscripted drama of reinventing the restaurant with his American-born sons plays out with passion and humor.</p>
<p>Though Le Cirque&#8217;s original menus were French <em>haute cuisine</em>, Sirio, as he was known to all, came to personify the idea of Italian culinary elegance, as exemplified by his 1978 invention of <a href="http://tinyurl.com/56e8p6">Pasta Primavera.</a> Today, Le Cirque serves <em>haute cuisine</em> with a global twist, but the courtly Italian, now in his 70&#8217;s, still holds sway over the operation. </p>
<p>Although red sauce is barely in sight, for those interested in the evolution of restaurants in America and the forces that drive an Italian-American family business, the film is utterly compelling.</p><p>The post <a href="https://skiplombardi.org/a-table-in-heaven/">A Table In Heaven</a> first appeared on <a href="https://skiplombardi.org">Sarasota Soundings</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>
