Italian point guard visiting

[8893]

Pretty sure hes talking about the restaurant Goodfellas in New Haven. That restaurant can sell anybody whether they are Italian or not.

Yes that's what I thought he was talking about. I'm not a fan.

Doubtful an Italian would be impressed with American pizza.

To the contrary. Pepe's and Sally's impressed Italian friends. Last month I was in Rome and ate at the best pizza place (according to the locals who puts us up). A place called Dar Poeta in Trastevere. Pepe more than competed with it.

Dang, imagine if they had tried Modern's. Might never have left.

Especially if it's not New Haven style American pizza.

Italy has as many different styles as the USA. When you buy pizza by the kilo you are buying squares, something that looks and tastes like Greek pizza. This is the most common pizza that Italians eat. In most restaurants though, your pizza might be similar to Modern pizza. Obviously Pepe's is similar to pizza from Napoli, but in Sicily, you do get the thick breaded pizza with a lot of vegetables.

So, before we totally derail this train, has he committed or do Ollie and his staff still suck?

If we get this kid we would have 5 guards, does this mean a 3 guard offence.

They're probably gonna run a lot of 3 guard offense with only 4 guards. So yeah, this kid would fit right in. Especially given he's got somewhat of a shot.

Plus, they really need another backup PG because you can't bank on perfect health from AG at this point.

It would definitely make it easier to play with 3 guards with JA AG CV, knowing we have those two others on the bench. Safety net at the very least.

They were appalled by the state of their Italian-American brethren. And I say that as someone with many IA in the family.

You can have new Haven pizza. I'll take a Chicago deep dish pizza from Gino's East.

The thread was derailed by pizza talk.

I would have bet money it was going to turn into a beer thread.

I'm surprised.

Italian beer is piss water

U think they don't say that about Bud or Miller?

There are a lot of good Italian beers. I recently tried them.

del Ducato is one very good one.

Chianti talk!

Anyone had a Connecticut Pinot Grigio?

I see that we picked up a crystal ball pick for Davide from Guido Sarducci of the l'osservatore Romano newspaper. He's ours.

I ate pizza all over Italy and while good it wasn't anything special. Napoli pizza isn't as good as New Haven pizza.

Even if Birra Moretti's owned by Heinken, don't say that too loud. Davide may be distantly related.

If Auriemma drops by, ideally no one suggests his campus restaurant.

I believe that is "Father" Guido Sarducci, although I could be mistaken. And if so, I expect he is ours.

Kid probably likes Bud and hates pizza.

 

[Austin316]

This is the only Italian I can speak...

No excuse for hating pizza, but what kind of bud we talking?

 

[Dove]

I so hope we get this kid. Just thinking of adding spumoni to the mojo is exciting, no?

You can have new Haven pizza. I'll take a Chicago deep dish pizza from Gino's East.

Gino's East is the McDonald's of Chicago .
Giordano's is much better as is
Lou Malnati's.

I'm going to go to the pizza thread to see if there is any recruiting talk.

Groucho said it better.

I'm a native Chicagoan and I'll say that locals don't have this impression. There's a reason Gino's is the best known. It's excellent if you like this style of pizza and Giordano's is very good as well. I've never been a fan of Malnati's although I know several who are. I've had it only twice, over cooked both time and haven't been back.
