Very much looking forward to finally visiting with friends and family again at my favourite restaurant, Mangia e Scappa, tomorrow night. https://mangiaescappa.com/menu/ Doug Louie is now a regular on piano every Sunday, simply because he loves the smoked salmon fettuccini. Other than the pizza, that is all he has ever tried. ... I however, have eaten everything on the menu except the menu itself. I have even had the italian doughnuts with nutella cream sauce. Come on down and say hello and listen to some fine dinner jazz Italian style and Doug Louie’s great piano playing. Ciao Ciao See more
