Where was Moonstruck filmed
Moonstruck
Year: 1987
<p>The movie was filmed in the United States, in New York City, with some interior scenes shot in studios in Toronto, Canada. The filmmakers wanted to convey the atmosphere of the Italian-American neighborhood and emphasize the origin of the characters, so the main filming took place in locations in Brooklyn and Manhattan. These include Cranbury Street in Brooklyn, where the Castorini family home was located, and Carroll Gardens, where the Cammareri brothers' bakery is located according to the movie. Other important scenes were filmed at the Metropolitan Opera House and Lincoln Center, as well as on Sullivan Street, where the funeral home where Loretta worked was located. These locations were a good fit for the plot of the movie, as they add authenticity to it and allow the audience to immerse themselves in the lives of the characters. </p>

Locations
Grand Ticino Restaurant
In movie
Scene where Johnny proposes to Loretta. Johnny Cammareri decides to propose to Loretta, and he does it in a typical Italian manner - at dinner in a small Italian restaurant, where all the waiters know them, and the customers empathize with Johnny's explanation to Loretta. Loretta agrees, though not seething with passion for Johnny, but considers him a suitable candidate for the role of husband.
Real
Scene was shot no Cafe Cluny em Manhattan. É um charmoso restaurante franco-americano localizado no coração do West Village, na West 12th Street, 284, em Manhattan. No filme, o local tem o nome fictício de Grand Ticino e é um restaurante italiano administrado por uma família. Na realidade, é um estabelecimento de culinária franco-americana conhecido por seu ambiente aconchegante e cardápio variado. Os produtores do filme podem ter escolhido o Cafe Cluny por causa de sua atmosfera romântica, mas simples, típica dos restaurantes italianos familiares.

Although the neighborhood has no direct connection to Italian culture, it may have been chosen for the film because of its authenticity and New York flavor.

Ronnie is a passionate and impulsive Italian who immediately falls in love with Loretta.

Scene was shot “La Bohème” by Puccini, which is a classic of Italian opera and is known for its themes of love, loss and self-discovery, which fits the plot of the movie perfectly. This adds depth and cultural context to the movie. A visit to the opera becomes not just an entertainment, but a deep emotional experience for Loretta and Ronnie that brings them closer together and opens up new feelings.
