i've been various amounts of time and have friends who work there and all I can think is...TOURIST TRAP?
No thanks, my money goes further elsewhere...HillCountry Chicken on that hook up status won the last quarter 2010 for me |
I posted something about it in another thread, I think. It is def a bit of a tourist trap, but I love that it's a one-stop shop for everything Italian, how could it not be awesome? Before, I had to run to 3 different places to get Italian stuff. I'm a big fan of a lot of the products they sell there; I got an amazing bottle of olive oil and some fantastic Aceto Extra Vecchio, their panettone was delicious and just like I remember how panettone should be, their farro salad is teh NOM and I LOVE the Razza Piemontese they serve at the restaurant. And then being able to take some home from the butcher is another awesome thing for me.
For the tipped employees, it's absolute shit. That whole tip-pooling BS that B&B has going on is a total scam.
