It appeared they were getting ready for the dinner service. When the crusty old head waiter wasn’t giving wonderful service to some hicks from Iowa, he was exhorting the younger staff to “Stop sitting on your brains, and get to work!”

He called our daughter “princess,” and taught her the proper way to twirl pasta. It was my first time having cioppino. My only negative memory is when I think of me turning that thick, luxurious white napkin into an orange rag.
