    Once again an amazing evening at Zitto Zitto! Scrumptious food! Great company. Cozy atmosphere. Phenomenal staff! Marty as always being his hilarious self. Lovely meeting Ian this evening. The two fellas are dinner and a show! Precision dining watching Marty weave in/out from the kitchen and his sleight of hand when you realize he changed out the silverware while dazzling you with his sparkling personality! Maurice had his favourite cauliflower side dish with today’s special: butternut squash risotto, he added shrimp. It was soo good! I forget which cocktail Ian made him. I had my roasted beets with the melt in your mouth burrata, pistachio pesto, linguine con asttice - OMG! Sooooo good! Pistachio tiramisu for dessert. Marty made me a mocktail, he called Bianca’s something, just delicious. Oh Marty razzle dazzled us with his oil & balsamic swirling skills, to dip our bread. Ask him to make it dirty for ya! Ha! ;o)
