A few words to consider:  "We hope that when you're faced with the decision of where to dine that you give the locally owned restaurants a try.  Not only the Italian Kitchen but others as well.  We truly rely on every penny and we promise that we care passionately about our guests experience. When you spend your hard earned dollars in a restaurant you should gain more than just satisfying your hunger. You should leave having experienced authentic flavors, warm sincere hospitality and an honest sense of gratitude from the entire staff."
