I had an early dinner at Box-designed Italian Kitchen tonight to kick the tires. First impressions were pretty good.

Talking Points No.215

Italian Kitchen opened with what appeared to be a fake boob and flashy car contest last night. Though I lost in both categories (sniff), an entertaining time was nevertheless had with plenty of laughter and drinks. Service starts today. More after the leap…
