"I'm glad you like it.  In fact, I know Carmine in particular will be very happy to hear those words when I tell him of it later.  He has invested a lot of time and energy into running this place.  His family has been running this place ever since the first of his line immigrated over here from Italy.  So he takes great pride when someone likes the restaurant."  Simon continued to play his role to perfection as he smiled back at both of them but April in particular.<br/><br/>He wrote down what April requested and nodded, "Very good, might I recommend a glass of Poggio Scalette Il Carbonaione to go with it?  It's a very good Sangiovese which just recently came to age and it has a rich body and a lasting finish to it.  All without having to pay through the nose for a glass of it."
