There was quite a bit of commotion outside of Red Rose Restaurant on Smith Street tonight as scenes of David Chase's new production were filming in the Italian eatery.

Steven Van Zandt is an executive producer and music advisor for the film. According to Movie Web, it's "a music-driven coming of age story set in suburbia in the '60s"
