What an evening full of Jazz and Pizza Al Padellino (typical pan pizza from Turin) at Charlie Bird. I sat down at a reserved table, and the moment the waiter said, “This table is reserved,” the man waiting for his friends said, “He’s with us,” and pulled my arm when I stood up to go. So far, the Northern Italians have been nothing but open, conversational, kind, and the stereotype is true; they are full of style, both in clothing and behaviour. Jazz suits the Northern Italians well.
