The name is a Venetian word meant to describe a humble restaurant serving simple food and young Italian
Golden Spoons Review: Blue Cilantro

Golden Spoons Review: Burger Shack
(CNS Foodie): A homey little blue hut at one corner of Marquee Plaza (where the old cinema used to be) offering a big burger called out to me the other day. As I approached the Burger Shack, I couldn’t help but be optimistic that this retro-style establishment would deliver the goods.
