Here's a great scene from another favourite film of mine - Big Night [1996]. I can't tell you how many times, in Italy but especially in Sicily, I've felt exactly like the people at this table! You are replete and content; in fact, you could really do with a sleep, when suddenly a pièce de résistance dish arrives! You think you are dreaming - "Surely there can't be any more!" - but the aroma wakes you up and you find room. [I've also felt the way the cooks do!]

"They" say Italian cooking is so effortlessly far superior to the French... and I for one believe them!!
