Thanks Robert for digging me in this episode. I’m so happy that you gave me this amazing gift!!! ^_^
I’ve digging you in my last episode, yesterday, with a special thanks in english (maybe not a good one) for you. I hope that more italian listeners will subscribe at your show. Bye bye.

If the interest in supporting Trattoria L’incontro is for the blackout… they go on vacation every summer… so they were not affected. There’s better, less expensive Italian, at Portobello in the mall at Ditmars and 43rd.
Trattoria is an excellent restaurant in my opinion and I’d recommend it anytime without reservation. Listeners to the show are welcome to check out both and let us know what they think.
I’ve double checked with Trattoria L’incontro and they informed me that they do take a two week vacation every summer. They are open for business now and will be until their next vacation in 2007.
