The food's delicious and so are the waiters!
How about a coffee? They use a special Vittoria blend which gives a great flavour.
There's a fantastic collection of 50's and 60's memorabilia - handsome dudes on motor bikes, saucy actresses with hour-glass figures, old postcards and assorted knick-knacks. There's even an old 78 record!
The place is always packed and you either sit on a stool at the bar or a stool at the wall - Italiano style.
The food is what might be called plain fare - unpretentious, not fancy stuff topped with wilted greens in un-natural poses. Just good old-fashioned Italian fare.
I did hear of a lady who asked for a garden salad to which the waiter replied something like "we do not have a garden"
My lunch. Home cooked and delicious, large serves and meals only $14.00.
Don't they just take your breath away if you're a sweet tooth? I put on weight just looking at them!
Today's Quote: Making coffee has become the great compromise of the decade. It's the only thing "real" men do that doesn't seem to threaten their masculinity. To women, it's on the same domestic entry level as putting the spring back into the toilet-tissue holder or taking a chicken out of the freezer to thaw ~ Erma Louise Bombeck

Looks like a great place to dine. I like the cosy atmosphere and the decor.
I gained five pounds just looking at your photos! Seriously, I like these kinds of places, which are unpretentious and have lots of character (not to mention decent food)...
Hope all is well!
Looks like there's plenty to eat and look at there.
Wow, it looks like a great place. Lotsa food and lotsa noise too. A fun place. I'll be there in the summertime which is coming right up--right? MB
Ah! «Louis» would like to visit this place! It reminds him of Caffe Trieste in San Francisco.
Re your question about what the cost would be on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge today: «Louis» doesn't know, but it wouldn't be cheap. With a $400,000,000 (and counting) cost overrun on the replacement of the cantilever section of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, «Louis'» guess would be something like $5,000,000,000. More and more, California is becoming as dysfunctional as a third world country...
