A lovely little Italian place closed down recently where we live, which is a pity. Going there was an experience. We’d chat with the helpful Italian servers, who’d make suggestions, advise on Chef’s recommendations, etc. The menu often changed, seasonally, with fun new additions. We’d order a drink, linger over conversation, and see where the meal took us. But alas, these charming little restaurants often can’t compete with the big chain places, where you can order everything on your phone. It’s like dining in an Amazon warehouse. Ha!
It is interesting that you mention frequent menu changes, as I imagine that's a good hint, perhaps, of a good restaurant. Thank you for the comment, John.
You made me remember a wonderful sushi restaurant on Pico in L.A. The Sushi House. Back when Yoshi still was there.
I appreciate hearing that—thank you for the comment, Minna.
