Wanted some Italian before hitting up an event @ the YBCA, and this place [or at least one person in this place] was pre-marinated, slow-cooked, infused, battered, and deep-fried in Italian. So OK, the food is pretty damn good (effing greasy pastas, but in that effing delicious kind of way): fresh, semi-crisp pizza napoletana, soft homemade bread, saffron white-wine risotto is to die for...but the REAL reason you'll want to come here is to experience [marvel at] the animated owner [free entertainment!]. I know stereotyping is bad, harmful, for small-minded people, yada*yada*yada...but this guy just oozes Italian-ness!
- Ridiculous dark, lush, wavy mane: check
- Fancy footwear [i.e., definitely animal-based]: check
- Unassuming yet deliberate machismo swagger [you know the one]: check
- Well-dressed (2 wardrobe changes, one of which included a fresh pressed mauve, French cuff shirt): check
- Olympic-grade Hand Gestures: check, check, check....and check
- Deep, golden tan: check
- Full vocabulary of rolled Rrrrs & geminated syllables [swoon!]: check
No, but seriously.....I only come here for the food.
