After taking several tour groups to Italy over the years, Robert says<br />
hundreds of people now know Enzo. “The Tuscany region is a lot like the<br />
American South. That really struck me. It is an agrarian society, but instead<br />
of cotton and soybeans, they grow grapes and olives. They love family, and<br />
they are very hospitable. They love good food, and they love to have long,<br />
leisurely dinners with friends and family.”<br />
In Italy, an osteria is a place that serves wine and simple food. “We are<br />
doing a mix of American Italian and authentic Italian,” Robert says. “The<br />
authentic Italian cuisine at Enzo will be Tuscan in origin. The pizzas in<br />
Tuscany are very thin, with minimal ingredients. We’ll be doing some<br />
American Italian stuff too. I like both. Both are great.” Some tweaks are<br />
made in the food prepared to please the American palate.<br />
