Dinner tonight was a 5 strikes against us experience, at least from our perspective. We went to a highly recommended restaurant know over Italy for their spectacular spaghetti carbonara, Trattoria Mezza Luna. We went at 7:10, no reservation, Americana, single female's, drinkers. We drank 2 bottles of local house red wine only to realize during several attempts to take selfies that we both had purple teeth and tongues(picture's never to be seen). We had the only non reserved table but only because we had squatters rights as the first people in the restaurant. How were we to know no one eats before 8? At least we got to see the proprietor turn several parties away.
The rest of the patrons ended up being large parties of men or couples. We were proud of ourselves to last 2.5 hours because we wanted to make sure who was eating what. As an aside, food was only so so but the entertainment value of being the table everyone looked at out the side of their eyes was worth every penny. Even better. I took a picture of the room and gave them all the thumbs up as we left . Appears all the smokers decided to follow us out as we were probably a change to their normal Friday evening. Think it turned out to be an interesting night for all.
