• Two well-known Italian restaurants and a decades-old vendetta is now
on the verge of becoming dangerous
• The children of the two families (Gigi Caputo and Roman Monte) fall
in love, despite their parents’ forbidding them to ever speak
• Gigi and Roman want to get to the bottom of the conflict, but if they
do, will they find out more than they wanted to know?
Since before they were born, Gigi and Roman’s families had two rules:
make the best Italian food in Chicago and don’t speak to each other.
When Gigi and Roman are teenagers, although Gigi resents the Montes’
last vicious prank that threatens her family’s livelihood, she can’t help
falling for Roman, who’s as good a boy as his family (in her eyes) is bad.
The two decide to uncover the truth of the war that began back in the
summer of 1933, before violence can destroy their own future. Alternating
between past and present in the tradition of Nicholas Sparks’ The
Notebook, the story is a tender, funny, edgy romance. In this retelling of
the classic tale of Romeo and Juliet, new love tries once again to triumph
over old grudges.
