December 23, 1983: Just days before Christmas, the Oliverio family readies their Feast of the Seven Fishes, an Italian tradition stretching back to the old country of Calabria. Amidst the preparations, Tony Oliverio, a young man with big dreams and a bigger heart, wonders if he ll find love this Christmas season or spend it alone with his loud and loving family - Great Grandma Nonnie, Grandpa Johnny, Great Uncles Frankie and Carmine, his parents, his brother, and a host of friends. When Sarah, the girlfriend of his best friend Angelo, introduces Tony to Beth, it looks like Tony s holiday experience might take a turn for the better. That is unless Nonnie thinks Beth isn t good enough for her great-grandson, and Beth s Ivy League suitor doesn t steal her heart first. Come on inside, where it s warm, and the smells of cooking fish permeate the air, and let s have a visit.
