“You piss me off you Salmon... You're too expensive in restaurants.”
Eddie Izzard

Pierenrico Gottero
“. Running a restaurant isn’t just about serving food—it’s about serving memories. People don’t come back for what you put on the plate, but for what you leave in their hearts.....It’s like a good wine, isn’t it? It’s never just about the grapes or the bottle. It’s about the sun that ripened the fruit, the soil that fed it, the hands that picked it. Every sip tells a story, and if that story is genuine, people will remember it.”
Pierenrico Gottero, The Strength of Fragile Days: A Long Journey Across the Middle Lands
