    Ok, went out again as is customary on Friday. driving along we decided on Mafioso as we had not been there since the lockdown. Parking no problem. Sign in, not bad until they wanted us to fill in an area where no one above the last had filled anything in. The wife asked what info was needed. She ended up just Xing the lines and that was good. Then we had to bend over and close to the temp register, they were not touching it, took a while to get close enough. Got that all done was ready to go in, but wait, another surprise. Go down to the side and read the menu and place your order outside before you can go in.

    Ended up leaving going to Gabby's and had a nice meal and experience.

    Goodbye Mafioso.

    And there is absolutely no cure for it or any vaccine to stop it or slow it down.

    Gabby's Bistro at the Florentina Homes location on Rovira allows dine-in and they are quite good.

    Wife and I went there today, JLH Butchers. Store is expanding products and they have a dine in restaurant on the side.

    Spacious and they have kept the Don Alitano menu. Service and food was excellent as was the shopping afterwards.

    Recommend it, not crowded, quiet and nice relaxing music.

    I think we should leave that to the owners, we shouldn't speculate here and not even mention names. the owners have surely hard times and all what we can do if we like them and want them to exist in future is to support them as we can with buying their foods, if they offer take-out service.

    Hello Jim, We serve Red Label in the restaurant. Sometimes I use PG Tips, but I have not been selling tea to take out.
    I thought you knew it but we built a restaurant on Legarda at the corner of the turn off to Laverna and have been operating now since February. We are on Google Maps as Joy Bamboo Cafe.

    I don't they weren't doing so well before covid. Covid was just the nail in the coffin. Surprised they hung on as long as they did.

    I think the owner still operates the BBQ place (purple building black gate) down the hill a bit across from the gas station. The menus had some similarities and tasted about the same. Maybe he moved his imported goods down there (or maybe you could find him or his wife there and inquire about that stuff).
