Oh no!!!

In case anyone is wondering, they are booked out until 9PM on 04/09. :frowning:

Well this changes everything

I loved it the one time I went and, coincidentally, will actually be in the Bay area on 04/09. I’m going to keep checking the Open Table to see if anything becomes available.

Massimo (a mensch) always tries to keep a few seats open at the bar for walk-ins. God speed.

Has anyone been after the restaurant changed hands?

One place in the city I always wanted to dine at . Didn’t work out. Would I go there now Ehhhhhhhhh I don’t think so . To many places to dine at . If and whenever I travel back to the bay area.

I ate there a few years ago with a friend and her brother who were NOT into the things I would have wanted. So I was disappointed but never blamed the restaurant for that. AND it was our old neighborhood :slight_smile:

I liked what I saw on the menu online. I’m into seafood , offal , and other . Im not into the straight forward Italian menu . I can make that anytime at home . Hopefully they will survive. The hands make the food not the restaurant name . Good to hear from you Cat . I’ll be in search of cow stomach this weekend. I have a plan to make trippa alla fiorentina that I had in Florence. Cheers . I don’t post much here anymore.

You didn’t know the place or Lorena or Massimo so you have no fucking clue. It was like a family-run trattoria in Italy. One of two I’ve ever found in this soulless country.

I’m glad for them that they found a buyer. Might be a perfectly good restaurant.

But who’s the chef?

I wonder if Zuckerberg might have been involved in putting the deal together.

I’m pretty sure Zuckerberg holds heavy influence. There’s now a special where you come in earlier that day, kill a goat with a stun gun, then they serve it you
