A Hostess Refused to Seat My 78-Year-Old Mother Because She “Looked Too Cheap”—Then the Restaurant Owner Came Running From the Kitchen in Tears
Giovanni sold the restaurant when he was eighty-three.
Not because he and Mom ran away to Italy.
Because his knees were finished and Francesca had no interest in restaurant ownership.
A longtime executive chef and general manager bought it with two other employees.
Giovanni remained:
“founder”
in the annoying ceremonial sense.
He still entered the kitchen and criticized sauces until the new owners banned him from touching anything.
