Italian Wannabe is a film for anyone who has ever loved a neighborhood restaurant, mourned a place that brought people together, or found comfort in a homemade meal. It is about food, community, and how cooking for others can change the course of your life.

Chef Bill Disselhorst built one of America’s Top 100 restaurants with his wife, Anne. Their tiny South Pasadena café became a neighborhood institution, known for fresh-baked bread, long lines, shared tables, and food that made people feel at home. After losing his wife, losing the café, and returning to the small Italian village where they first fell in love with food, Bill begins searching for what comes next.

NR, 90min, English and Italian (with English subtitles)
