How does Tucci do it? We’re not really sure. Our tolerance for The Tucci Martini (practically straight gin) was low. The Negroni Up was just a touch easier on the palate. Fortunately, Tucci’s Aperol Spritz is extremely sippable, so we survived just fine.

Two main men call for two delicious main courses. The party started with a warm and hearty Pasta Fagioli (a table favorite!) followed by a simple house salad and Stanley’s elaborate Spaghetti con Zucchine alla Nerano.

Stanley Tucci isn’t a huge dessert person (we forgive him). We made Julia Child’s iconic Mousse au Chocolat. Seemed fitting, given Tucci’s star turn as her doting husband in Julie and Julia.

Is a Harry/Stanley connection tenuous at best? Yes. Did we thoroughly enjoy dining to a playlist of Harry Styles songs? 100%
