More About

Clearly Anthonino's isn't the old-school pizzeria I'd craved. I'd say it exceeded my expectations, but since I chose the place more or less at random, based on false assumptions, it's not really fair to say I had any expectations. It was a bad guess that turned into dumb luck.

And the next time I want to satisfy my urge for an old-school pizzeria? Well, maybe I'll just swing by Anthonino's with a homemade Chianti-bottle candle. They can charge me corkage, if they like.
