re: #104 engineer dog

i miss NYC. my wife took me to an “italian” restaurant here in the bay area the other night, and the menu items all looked to me like “aesthetic european vegetables in pretentious gelee seasoned with esoteric and unfamiliar herbs, $40.00”

Let me know next time you’re in the Bay Area. I am a resident here and I’m Italian. I know where the quality restaurants are. Seriously. I would’ve sent you two to Spiazzo Cafe over on West Portal Ave, Italian owned and operated, big portions with authentic cooking (you can hear the Italian chefs swearing at one another in the background sometimes). Or there’s the Gold Mirror on Taraval Ave near 19th St in the Parkside district. Waitstaff are all dolled up, women have the big hair and call you ‘honey’ and it’s all traditional with quality portions.
