Max Tucci Responds to Meryl Streep's Suggestion He Pay Stanley Tucci
New York restaurateur Max Tucci has humorously responded to actress Meryl Streep after she suggested he should compensate actor Stanley Tucci for using the shared surname on his restaurant. During a press event for The Devil Wears Prada 2, Streep noted that many people mistakenly believe the NoHo Italian spot, named Tucci, belongs to the famous actor. She joked that Max should pay Stanley a little something due to the public confusion. Max Tucci, who owns the establishment and serves as global ambassador for Delmonicos, told Page Six that Streep should mind her business, though he extended an invitation for the film's cast to dine at his restaurant on the house. He distinguished his hospitality by stating that only real celebrities are welcome, seemingly referencing a past incident involving reality TV star Sonja Morgan. The article also highlights Stanley Tucci’s culinary expertise, noting his view that risotto is the ultimate test of an Italian restaurant's quality. This lighthearted exchange underscores the ongoing public association between the unrelated Tuccis and Italian cuisine.
