Guess where our office party is this afternoon?
Alas, no one in the office is breastfeeding, nor does anyone have a pit bull.

Olives there? Are they any good? Black, Green, Purple ones are my favorites.
apparently there was some sort of disturbance a few years ago. 
just lunch. 
Because, of course, none of you have ever been there, have you?
Meh. As alluded to upthread, the "famous garden salad" is mainly iceberg, with a couple of olives, tomato slices, and onion slices thrown in. The breadsticks? Unlimited, true, and salted, but by no means resembling "Italian bread". Spaghetti and meatballs? Plentiful, but rather flavorless. And the one jar of pizzeria-style pepper flakes was at the wrong end of the loooooooong table. And the piccolo dolce dessert? Surprisingly skimpy, and with a rock-hard layer of cake at the bottom. Then again, Republican Stepdad, who is half siciliano on his mother's side, tells me that real Italian restaurants can't do dessert, either.
