13/10/2025: October 12, 2025 - A Meal of Irony
First, however, I must offer a few words of praise to Mr. Pino and his family (staff) for welcoming me in the best possible way today for lunch. To Mr. Pino, I simply thank him because, with his politeness, genuineness, and lightheartedness, his ability to convey a love for his work is admirable; things that truly do the soul good. To his staff (family), I can only emphasize their excellent professionalism and friendliness.
Why did I describe my meal as "ironic"?
Simple, I don't eat fish, but I can't say no to a good plate of spaghetti with clams (delicious).
For my second course, since I had a long journey ahead of me, I decided to have the green salad (Bravo! A healthy meal), finishing with a splendid and delicious Chicco di Caffè dessert (And here, I'd say I slipped up) and a classic coffee to round it all off.
But before I left, I had the pleasure of chatting with Mr. Pino and "revealing my birthday." Ironically, he wasn't expecting that, and I greatly appreciated both him and his staff wishing me a happy birthday. I plan and hope to return to Mr. Pino's restaurant again, with whom I had the pleasure of spending a small part of my birthday.
See you soon.
Giuseppe
