Al, apologies for not being clearer. The post from Carmine was completely made up fiction. I don’t even know if there is a Carmine at Vivi’s….Sorry that my attempt at sarcasm was misread.

Again from the bottom of my original post:

Please note the above note was fictional in nature and intended to be funny in nature and not to stereotype a fine culture. it does not represent any anti-Italian bias on the poster, but simply a lack of any real maturity. Please do not attempt to contact the authorities or fear for fair Katie’s well being…

Carmine from Vivi!!!!! you should be a shame of your self, how could you talk to people with that tone, who criticize your restaurant , go and do some thing about your food and service. Shame on you!

Thanks for the heads up, James….if we’re ever back in Hawthorne, we’ll give Ossy’s a try. And yeah, that’s what those people next to us said, but who the hell knows….they may have been family or friends just making the place seem good enough to go to a lot! Do yourself a HUGE favor and don’t bother: the food doesn’t make up for the service, nor did the service make up for the food. I realize restaurants experience growing pains when they first open, but that doesn’t excuse their behavior.

I live literally a few blocks from this place. The people next to you go there all the time? It can’t have been open for more than a few weeks. A MONTH at most. If they “go there all the time,” they must never eat at home or anywhere else! I’ve never been, and from the sound of it, I don’t want to go. Another place nearby, Ossy’s, is a better alternative. It’s on Lincoln Ave.

The building used to house this pastry/coffee/ice cream type place. I never understood how they stayed in business with a place so huge. Obviously, they didn’t.

Yeah, I really gotta find someone else to pick on because I realized after I wrote this that I picked on her once before when talking about Veuve Clicquot having no personality and comparing it to Paris Hilton.
