And just down the block, @madam__im__adam I’m tweets us the photo below of Bacio Pizzeria’s new porch:

      Actually, it is how Jamaicans refer to Jamaica; variants on ‘jam doung’ are “Jamdown”, “Jamdung” or “Jamdoung”. BTW, Jam Doung is a bashy (Ja. slang for nice) Jamaican restaurant.

        So somebody might actually say something like (excuse the guesswork): “We in Jam Doung” to mean, “we’re in Jamaica?”

I really adore Bacio Pizza. It really is some good stuff. I think he uses tomato crack in the sauce or something. This is a very nice addition to the place.

If only Red Toque cared as much about its location : (

  Don’t you mean “tomacco”? http://mimg.ugo.com/201105/1/2/1/192121/favorite-fake-products-640-image_gallery_2242_simpsons-tomacco.jpg

  I’m curious what you mean about Red Toque. I go there regularly for lunch. The overhang is dirty from rain/whatever, but the restaurant is well maintained. Now that it’s getting warmer, hopefully he’ll start using the outdoor space more.

    Yup that is what I mean. I go there too but usually get take out, the ambiance is not quite inviting enough to encourage dining in. The outdoor seating area are tables flopped down in the grass. Clean the place up a bit, make it more inviting, put down a hard surface patio for the tables and chairs, you know, step it up a bit in quality.
    
    The food is good, and prices are reasonable, the owner is very nice, just needs a little work on the building to help make it more successful.
    
    You know, like Bacio just did.

      The outside is dirty and I don’t trust the inside is much cleaner. My partner and I went there once and watched a roach run up the wall beside us and the waitress pick her teeth with her finger before reaching into the display case to pick out food for us. Nast-ee.

  can anyone who knows both compare Bacio with Moroni for me? I am addicted/eat the Moroni puttanesca once a week. Norcia knows my son’s name.

Can’t wait for the Red Hen to open. That strip is turning out to be really nice. The only glaring inconsistency is the bulletproof mini mart between the Red Hen and the Yoga studio…
