Aww! Fabio seems like such a nice guy to hang out with. I think this review was overly harsh. Zero stars? Did they get sick after consuming the "cliché cuisine"? I mean, doesn't zero seem like more of a political statement than a real review?

Political statement is what I'm thinking too. Ridiculous!

This doesn't read as an honest review at all.
This reads like S. Irene Virgil had a bone to pick, or wanted to use being ridiculously critical of a place with celebrity to stoke a mundane career? Ive never been there, but after reading this, I actually want to go there. Which is just odd. I mean, isnt it supposed to be about the food?
