this place - wow. pizza ok.



this is the most beautiful italian restaurant i've ever seen. the owner's from rome, & has painted/dec. this place himself. upon checking out the menu, we thought it was affordable. wrong. we'd been looking at the menu #-the prices were in smaller print (hiding). we got 2 little pizzas w/ water, & it was $30. we were NOT happy. we couldn't leave b/c we met this sweet waitress who happened to have worked at a restaurant right where we live in shekou. she was so delighted to meet & talk w/ us that we had to stay & eat there. we exchanged info, and a couple days later, she & i went shopping together. she speaks some english, so it was good for both of us language-wise. we hope to keep contact. anyone looking for a super-sweet/cute wife?
