But - hello - info is so readily available these days. Seems pretty lazy, really! Still, their laziness makes for a funny sign. What gets me is that the restaurant cares so little that they haven't bothered to change it. ~Tui I agree, the phonetics of it could lead one astray.

I guess if it was a non-Italian painting the sign, it sort of sounds right? Uomini - Womeni... I wonder how long it would have taken to check and be sure? 2 seconds? that is too funny!

Homebody at Heart - I get a kick out of redundant phrases like that, too. 'Chai tea' for instance, since 'chai' already means tea. Hehe!

When I take BART into San Francisco, I pass a sign in Oakland that says "Fratelli Brothers". Maybe it's the family surname, or maybe it's an inside joke!

Blatant racism and cultural insensitivity all rolled up in a pretty package--as long as it looks good, indeed. Gotta love Texas. How can you argue with that?
