Le Cirque: A Table in Heaven movie scene

Sirio Maccioni gives viewers an inside look at his legendary restaurant in Le Cirque: A Table in Heaven.

Le Cirque: A Table in Heaven is a 2007 documentary film about the founder of New York’s legendary restaurant Le Cirque, Sirio Maccioni, and his three sons — Marco, Mauro and Mario — to whom he will one day leave his formidable cultural and culinary legacy.

For the movie, director Andrew Rossi (Page One: Inside The New York Times) gained access to the colorful family at the time of a dramatic transition: the closing of Le Cirque in 2004 and its celebrated re-opening two years later, followed by the nerve-wracking wait for New York’s restaurant critics to weigh in on the new incarnation.

Featuring appearances by such noted Le Cirque patrons as New York City Mayors Michael Bloomberg and Rudolph Giuliani and celebrities Joan Collins (TV’s Sins), Tony Bennett, Bill Cosby and Billy Joel, the film premiered on premium cable’s HBO in December 2008.

Bonus features on the DVD include additional scenes and a Q&A with director Rossi.

Here’s the HBO promo, which is filled with food, family and what looks like a lot of fun:
