VOTED BEST ITALIAN FOOD EVERY YEAR SINCE 1998!

MEZZO E MEZZO

When I moved from North Caldwell, New Jersey, to Dubuque 25 years ago, Mario’s was the first restaurant I visited. After a wonderful dinner that was just like the Italian food I grew up on; Mario came to the table and in his big, booming voice said, “How was’a your’a dinner?” I jokingly answered, “mezzo e mezzo,” which means “half and half” in Italian and is a way of saying good but maybe not so much. Mario looked at me for a few seconds and then said, “Ahh, go back’a East!”

The traditionally copper water-pot was called a conca in Abruzzo; it was cleaned with sand. The woman rolled a handkerchief or piece of cloth to make a soft pad, which she placed on her head before the conca. The women also carried the clothes they washed at the village fountain on their heads.https://www.roangelo.net/valente/conca.html#italianhistory #italiancanadianclub @annamariesablone #Abruzzo
