Crazy Gian...that is what the website calls me

Have you been to the website www.pazzaluna.us , if you haven't you should go. Our designer John Welker is a very creative man.

Well opening week was great! The Locust Point community came out in support plus all the food was 1/2 price. We did huge numbers for last week and in general, all went well. They liked my food.

I'm working on the lunch menu that we will slowly put in place.

Everyone seems to want to hang downstairs near the bar in the renovated section. So I think we will renovate upstairs as well.

I'm looking for some line cooks if you know of any?

I'm trying to think what I can do for St. Patricks day ~~~maybe a pesto.

Ciao

We're Open

Pazza Luna opened its doors this week on Tuesday, February 27th. After menu tastings and a quiet open we were ready to test the waters with "real" customers.

Everything is going very well. Sloane Brown's Sunpaper's column on Wednesday and the Locust Point Civic association e-mail blast that we were open has kept us jumping.

We had some neighborhood customers on Tuesday and last night they were back again. I love bringing real Italian food to the table for guests. There is nothing wrong with Italian American but that is not what we are about.

The antipasta misto with salumi, roasted and marinated vegetables, olives, cheese and grilled bread is perfect for a light meal with a glass of wine. I slice the salumi as ordered..when you come in you will see the slicer.

I have a great kitchen staff with Dave and Bob. Bob used to work Pazza Luna in its earlier reincarnations. Do pop your head in the kitchen to say hello.

The bar has been filled with many people eating and drinking and sharing stories...its an Italian Cheers.

I'm so excited that people are sharing the beauty of the table, sharing time with each other and relaxing and having a good time. Isn't that what it is all about?

Live by the Sun.............Love by the Moon
