I told a friend I was going to review Caesar's Den.
He happens to volunteer for the Tuesday homeless outreach program of Little Italy Hands and Hearts, which coordinates that and other outreach ministries.
Each Tuesday, members of the group coordinate, prepare and deliver meals to over 72 homeless men and women along Central Avenue. The donations are made possible from local restaurants and merchants, particularly the restaurants of Little Italy.
The friend said that all of the restaurants are generous but Caesar's Den particularly so -- "above and beyond" was the phrase he used.
There was no place for that in the review. I tried, because I don't think it's completely irrelevant information.
So, here...a toast to Tina and Guido De Franco - Cent'anni!
I had some observations about the Caesar's Den menu, which I faulted (gently, I hope) for treating all of its dishes equally.
That black linguine and arugula looks divine!
