Did you know? The film's title "To the Tooth" is a clever double pun: it refers both to the Italian culinary phrase "al dente" (to the tooth, describing perfect pasta) and to the "tooth" left behind in the mobster’s mouth as a calling card by his killer.
Why Watch: A deliciously tense blend of dark comedy and heartfelt drama, "To the Tooth" serves up a killer premise with Artie’s must-see struggle to save her family’s legacy while a dead mafioso slowly rots in the basement. It’s a sharp, character-driven feast of loyalty, secrets, and simmering Italian cuisine that will keep you guessing until the final, gut-punching course.
A young Italian chef named Artie now runs a bistro that once belonged to her father. But when the corpse of a former mafia figure turns up inside the restaurant, she’s forced to rethink everything—her ties to L’Atessa, and everyone connected to it.
