When walking into the lobby, one will be greeted with a smile and be treated like family. They have a lovely dining room, filled with old family photos, which creates a real homey feel. In the center of the dining room is a grand family table. It’s great for family seating or a big event. When taking young children to a restaurant, many customers have difficulties having children happy or calm. At Carrabba’s children can expect to be entertained by receiving the “Bambini menu” (kid’s menu) and pizza dough to play with. Customers also have an option to sit front seat at the kitchen counter, where they can interact and watch the chef create the delicious meals. Patrons can also chose to sit at the bar with availability to television screens or have a more private setting. The kitchen also omits wonderful smells, making one think that they’re back at their mother’s house for dinner.

The Carrillo Adobe is in a dire situation. It has not only fallen into disrepair from the many years of weather and use by so many individuals, but by visitors and citizens have been less that kind and considerate of its age and the prominence that it deserves. After Carrillo’s death her house was given to three of her daughters, Marta, Juana, and Felicidad. Then her belongings were distributed between all of her children. In the first decade after her death her different children each occupied the house at different times. One of her daughters, Juana and her husband ran the home as a tavern. They then converted the adobe into the first post office in the town of Santa Rosa. After her daughters no longer had a need for the adobe it was turned into a trading post where numerous individuals...
Everyone wants their food to taste superb when going out to eat. Both restaurants served excellent homemade chips and salsas as well as queso dip. Reading the menu to order was no problem and both places had a wide variety of options to choose...
The lack of a safe home environment, one of the obstacles Panchito faces. When they lived in Fresno, he and his family lived in an old garage, separate from the large main house of their employer. The windowless walls strained “to support the roof full of holes”(Jiminéz 58). In addition, Roberto, Panchito, and their father “sle[pt] outside under the trees” (58). Because of the lack of any plumbing or furniture, they took showers underneath a waterhose and they “[ate] dinner around some wooden crates,”(59). The absence of a proper home environment also speaks for his family’s financial situation. If they cannot afford a home, one could wonder how they can properly support their children. Their severe economic status could also explain their children’s lack of an education.
wonderful quick meal right in front of you. They show you hands on how to prepare and cook
A few days later my mother and I now decided to try Las Brisas which is only ten minutes away from my house located in Scott City. When we walked into this restaurant we did not get the same open environment as El Torero’s, this place had very small walk spaces and every table was so close to the next that you could hear all the gossip of the town which made us want to dash out of this restaurant. Although they did have nice workers, we did not enjoy this factor near as much.
Cilantro Tamales isn’t a typical Mexican restaurant. Upon entering you are immediately greeted with warm smiles, and are led to a bamboo chaired table with all sorts of hot sauces and other sizzling toppings to greet you. The air is filled with spices. The cinnamon and jalapeño aromas mingle and make the mood rich. Every dish on the menu seems delicious and it is always difficult to decide what to order. I always think that any dish which I don’t try gives me the excuse to come back again. Everyone who eats at Cilantro Tamales gets to have an unlimited amount of their fresh, homemade salsa with warm, salty tortilla chips. The thick chunks of tomatoes and onions with hot peppers and cilantro make a perfect combination for anyone’s taste buds. The waiters and waitresses carry immense trays burdened by the weight of great tasting meals, and each dish has enough on it to make mountains jealous. The delicious food is not the only reason Cilantro Tamales stands out. The restaurant itself is rich with culture and flavor. All the walls are a shade of bright yellow or sun burnt orange and red, which add to the Mexican feel. On the walls are historical black and white pictures of Mexico and its people which act as cultural memories of times past. The Latin and Mexican dance music can always be heard in the restaurant. I sometimes can’t help but move to its invigorating rhythm. An interesting facet to the restaurant is the hand crafted pottery.
Rotolo’s possesses an Italian-themed, comfortable atmosphere that is very welcoming while not being too loud or too
Within that minute, I was able to grasp my feel for the restaurant. The characteristics of the atmosphere included pleasant music, and soft lighting; but rather dark. We were finally seated in a big booth set for four in which the host took the initial plate ware as there was only three of us. In addition to the great ambiance, the menu was rather extensive, especially for being gluten-free and in an Italian restaurant. Our server was distinctively groomed, passionate and knowledgeable about the gluten-free options; and was even considerate enough to bring me out gluten free rolls. My dinner rolls arrived in a timely manner; they were fresh and light, served with a whipped butter. I ordered a pizza, “Trezo White”, which included: chicken, bacon, spinach, artichokes, roasted tomatoes, Alfredo, and fonzarella with gluten-free crust. Our food arrived in a timely manner, but the presentation was nothing absurd. My pizza appeared fresh and appealing, with effulgent colors from the roasted tomatoes, and
Most can agree; Italian cuisine is one of the best types of food around. There are so many filling choices on the menus with delicious appetizers and wines to pair. Grumpys has several options that others can’t compete with. Carltons, on the other hand, is lacking in such aspects, but takes the cake in others. What do you look for when you enjoy dinner out with family and/or friends?
I began my observation on Wednesday, March 29th at 5:30 pm at a local Olive Garden restaurant. The weather was 54 degrees, sunny and slightly windy. Olive Garden is an Italian fare restaurant with over 800 chains throughout the United States. They present themselves as “keeping with modern day Italian traditions” (Olive Garden, 2017) when they promote their food. When one enters the door to the restaurant they are presented with Italian music or older music by artists like Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett. As one makes their way to their seat, the decor is that of a modern Italian-themed home or restaurant. The most noted feature encountered was how calm and quiet it was within the restaurant. There was soft whispering amongst the guest and the
Its original objectives were to re-evaluate and celebrate local cooking traditions, inform citizens on the negatives of fast food, educate them on where their food originates from and also promote the use of local food products in cooking. Figure 9 shows an example of a local market stall with Slow Food values, . Founder Carlo Petrini, believes that: "Everyone has the right to good, clean and fair food." By ‘good’ he means that the food is fresh, ‘clean’ is part of the natural food cycle, posing no threat to the ...
For my evaluation essay I wrote about the restaurant Clocked, a small diner located in downtown Athens. Clocked has good food, wonderful customer service, and a sci-fi vibe that will send many people back to their childhood. Athens is a large city, and the University of Georgia is a large school with over 36,000 students. It can be easy to get lost in such a large city. In my evaluation, I spoke about how Clocked can help Athens seem more like a small community. For my paper remix I wanted to send the same message as my original paper, that a large city like Athens can become a home. Instead of sending my message through words, I created a poster board filled with pictured from different points in my life. By using different pictures from Rome and Athens, I show that both cities can become home with the help of a small diner like Clocked.
Seniors usually gather in the mornings and leave at 11 am before the noon rush so that’ll give an opportunity to set up special nights during after-school hours’ design to encourage children and parents to visit the restaurant. She can offer discounted meals and children activities to keep the children involved and parents interested. This strategy will bring entire families to gather and certainly increase revenue overall.
With our growing obsession of food culture, and an estimate of 16 million restaurants worldwide, there is one neglected element that has been right in front of us all this time: the menu. When it comes to profits, the menu is not only important; it is everything in a successful restaurant brand identity. Research has found that a customer only takes an average of 109 seconds reading a menu. This is the time limit one has to impress and sell. This essay will outline different ways and means on how the graphic designer under-take different methods to turn the menu into a sales tool for the restaurant and will discuss menu design techniques to help boost the effectiveness of the ‘silent salesperson’ onto customers and increase profits (Pavesic, 2013).
The side walk cafes are very popular in Rome. The cafes were always populated with happy Italians and a few curious tourists. The most preferred cafe was the Cafe S. Petro. this cafe was in perfect walking distance from the Vatican city. The Vatica n city is were the pope lives. The main meals served at the cafes varied from pizza to tortillini. The pizzas were not exactly like Pizza Hut's pizza. They were crispy thin with very few toppings available. Most pizzas came with cheese, pepperoni and a watery tomato sauce. The tortillini had soft, medium-length, hollow noodles with more watery tomato sauce. Another favorite at the cafe was the lasagna which was unbelievably delicious. After having tasted the pizzas and the tortillini, I was not exp ecting the lasagna to be so tasty. The lasagna was packed full of hot meat, zesty cheese, and a tangy tomato sauce. It was not out of the ordinary to see Italians, instead of eating at the cafe, talking with their friends and sipping on hot cappucino.
