"Unlike your partner’s—well-meaning but overly involved—mother, the mammas at this Italian restaurant on the King’s Road improve any situation they involve themselves in. And this particular situation—you, repeatedly saying “wait, what was I going to tell you…” before returning to silence—could use an intervention that involves a ladle of lasagne being dropped on your plate. If there’s a birthday going on—there’s always a birthday going on—then the mammas bang their wooden spoons on pots and pans, pull people up to dance mid-cacio e pepe chew, and have you both smiling all the way home." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, sinead cranna
