Silvana "Silvy" Gianetti is disillusioned with her job as the executive chef at a swanky restaurant in New York. Growing up in a large and loving Italian-American family, Silvy is drawn to the food and comfort of her home. When her beloved Nonna suffers a minor wrist injury, Silvy is called back home to Boston's Italian North End to prepare the family's beloved "Feast of the Seven Fishes" Christmas Eve dinner. As she preps for the big feast, her family is joined by Ethan , a photographer who is documenting different family traditions around town and who's become close to her Nonna. After a rocky start with Ethan, things begin to heat up as Silvy grows to appreciate the heart and soul he puts into capturing the magic of the little moments and a romance could be simmering. Every day leading up to Christmas Eve, Silvy gathers in the kitchen with her Nonna, mom and aunt to prepare the pasta, struffoli and other Italian classics near and dear to Silvy's heart.
