Workplace comedy

A chaotic family-owned Italian restaurant survives disasters by becoming the loudest workplace family in the city.

Created by Amy MatthewTwo seasons · 20 episodes developed

Public treatment

The restaurant is chaotic. The family running it is even louder.

A family-owned Italian restaurant survives nightly disasters through instinct, argument, food, and the stubborn belief that every employee belongs at the table. The dining room generates fresh crises while the kitchen holds decades of family history.

Workplace comedy and family emotion collide as younger staff imagine change and the owners defend tradition. Every shift creates a problem that can be solved operationally—but rarely emotionally.
