The cross-road of Western Europe
... He helped us order since the menu was in Italian. Once we had finished eating, he came out and asked us if we wanted some free shots. All of us said yes, but were really confused why he was giving us free shots. We took them anyways and left him a pretty good tip and an American five dollar bill with a little note in Italian that told him the first beer was on us when he came to America.
