Just about every night we switched off between having dinner at Antonio & Antonio, or at Gusto & Gusto, 2 of our favorite restaurants within easy walking distance from our hotel. On our last night, which also happened to be "La Festa di San Giuseppe", the Italian equivalent of Father's Day, we decided on Antonio & Antonio for dinner. We sat in Mauricio's section, one of our favorite waiters there, and broke the news to him that we were moving to Posillipo, so would no longer be seeing him every other night. He said, "just don't forget about your friend Mauricio!", which of course, we won't, and we promised to come and visit him soon. The waiters have pretty much seen Evan grow up over the past few months, and they have also all become my informal Italian teachers, so even though we are only moving a few miles away, it was still kind of sad to say bye to them, and know we won't see them every day. After dinner at Antonio & Antonio, we stopped in to see the guys at Gusto & Gusto to tell them that we are moving too, since I went there for lunch almost daily, and didn't want them to wonder what happened to me if I just stopped showing up. After saying bye to them, we promised to stop by as soon as we get settled in our new place, since they too, have become not only our favorite waiters, but friends along the way.
