Overheard from the next table:
1.
"Penne Arrabiata?"
"Yeah? What's that in English?"
2.
"Penne Piccante?"
"Yeah. That's mine. I like my meat! Way-hey!"
3.
"Got any ketchup?"
4.
"Black pepper anyone?"
('Comedy' French accent) "Black pepperrr? Black pepperrr? Luverrly jubberrly!"
You don't stay for an espresso.
