The last time I went, I walked in with a friend and I was greeted by the Hostess. She asked how many people were in my Party, and I said, «Just two.»Right this way! I’ll Show you to your table» she said. She was very polite. When we reached our table by the window, she asked us, «Is this all right?» We said, «Of course!,» and then she handed us the menus, along with the wine list. The place setting with the silverware was very complete.

The waiter came up to the table a few minutes later and said, «Good evening. My name is Giorgio, and I’ll be your waiter this evening. Is there anything I can Get you started with-a cocktail, a glass of wine?» Well, my friend and I are not exactly Big drinkers, so we just ordered a couple of iced teas. «Would you like a few minutes to look at the menu?» he said. We nodded our heads, and he went off to get our drinks.
