He came back later to see if we would like more and my son (about 15 at the time) spoke up and said yes. Alfredo stopped him and said "no, no PaPa first" The resturant was not big and the "jet set" as they were known then were the main diner's. The Fettucine was outstanding and perfectly cooked. At the time Alfredo appeared to be in his late 60's or 70's? His resturant decor was what you would expect with red and white checkered table cloths and rather plain for such a famous resturant.

A very nice memory ............making me hungry, no matter what time of the morning it is.

Thanks for sharing it..........
