Miniaturized Antica
The previous comment really nailed it about printing RUMORS. Be very careful about doing that. What does the personal life of the owner have to do with writing a restaurant review? About as much as the opinions of your dining friends. No one cares! It seems your objectivity has been tossed out the window. Ms. Wise, I doubt very much that you know either owner well enough to refer to them as Frank and Vinnie and to insinuate that Francesco cares more about his Antica Trattoria than Origano is just plain wrong. By the way, did you actually mean to say that you "exploited a friend's friendship" with Francesco's Mother-In-Law? While you managed to take a swipe at Vincenzo's other 3 restaurants, you neglected to mention how decidedly popular they are. For whatever reason, you managed to do this new, wonderful restaurant an unwarrented injustice. Hopefully you were just in a foul mood.— February 24, 2011 12:11 p.m.
