The owner should be nominated for the bastard of the year award. My family witnessed an older gentleman next to us have a stroke. My husband and I were the first to react and to provide first aid. Not only did the owner and staff not assist the man, the owner actually tried to dissuade people from helping the man, who was slumped over unconscious with hot coffee dripping on his lap him, by saying the man was a regular who was originally from Italy who " always did that". Not true, the man was from England. I actually had to argue with the owner to get him to call an ambulance. He and his staff did nothing to assist the man (other than to make sure that he paid as soon as he regained consciousness) and left it up to the other patrons ( mainly me) to care for the man. When I finally got the man into the ambulance. I confronted the owner who then tried to grab my arm and throw me out of the restaurant. This man cares NOTHING for his customers and had no regard for human life.

"Proudly Neapolitan in heritage are all sorts of impeccable fritti, as well as classic free-form pizzas out of the wood-fired oven, at Celeste. A flower-decked terrace leads into country-cottage quaint with sky-blue plates and exactly what you'd eat in Nap..."

"But after an appropriate mourning period, Quadalti made the necessary adjustments. Now Quadalti drains the tomatoes just the way many American pizzaioli do...."

"Perhaps its greatest notoriety rests on a splendid Italian cheese course—served with various honeys, nuts, and preserves. The mainly Emilia-Romagnan menu includes light-as-helium fritters, wood-oven pizzas, cured meats, pastas, and salads...."
