Thanks Jonathan for a great piece! Anthony is a very talented artist and Fabrizio and I are very excited about the mural, it turned out even better than we expected! I wanted to answer some of the comments above too...regarding the bikes, yes, we do already have a nod to the bike community with our gelato and espresso bar stools made from bicycles and we do have other elements on the way. If you have access to any other vintage Italian bikes, we'd love to showcase them also! As for the trees, there was 1 Liquid Amber on Q Street , which was removed. The City is approving removal of all of those types of trees when new businesses open because they are dangerous due to the large golf ball seeds they drop. We've already replanted a new tree in it's place. As for the trees along 16th, two of them were diseased and 1 was lost in the big storm last year. All three are being replaced with new trees as well in the next month when the landscaping is completed. Thanks for all of your support during our first five weeks. More work is underway, so stay tuned to see the finished product very soon! Grazie, ciao!

Thanks for stopping by David! Only one small correction...we didn't name HOT ITALIAN after Fabrizio. Although he's definitely one, HOT ITALIAN encompasses many people, food, cars, scooters, bikes, etc.....look forward to seeing you and the rest of the sacpress gang at the pizza bar soon! Ciao!
