Twice a day everyone at the restaurant gathers together to sit down and eat. Our lunch lasts about a half an hour and is always a pasta of some kind.Dinner is of the same length of time and can consist of salad, salumi, bread, vegetable, and meat or fish. We some times have wine or fresh made pizza and beer. We never speak of buisness. We only sit and enjoy each others company. Today for lunch we also had some out standing pastries and some Asti along with our meal because it is Antonio's birthday. Antonio is the gardner at L'Osteria and he turned 62 today. He invited me to go play Texas Hold em at a tournament his son was hosting, but I had to explain to him that I did not want to end up broken down and destitute in this country, and I kindly thanked him. He is a wonderful man, very kind. Auguri Antonio!!!(best wishes) In the other picture is Marta and the world famous Enrico Spera, with Chef tho the left.
Things are going well. We are getting ready for a very busy weekend. We have 9 parties in 3 days along with regular service.
The scenic view is of my back yard. More on that later. Time to get back to work. Ciao.
