Most people cannot pronounce the name of the restaurant, I couldn’t for the first month that I worked there. So the name pretty much goes with the atmosphere and the food. On all of the tables there are a bunch of Italian letters, the foods have interesting names like chicken gorgonzola, or garbanzo salad. Even though the names are weird the food is excellent. I don’t believe anyone has complained about the quality of our food.
I do like my job though, not just the food. Most customers are quite nice to me. And I love my co-workers. We have a very high standard to live up to also. D’amico and Sons has a “customer-first” policy. If someone complains about a fly landing on their food, they get another free meal (that’s just an exaggeration). That’s how much we care about our customers.
Now, this is the part I don’t like about my job. Cleaning, we are always cleaning. If there are no customers we have to be cleaning. If we’re done cleaning the normal stuff they have us do odd jobs, for example whacking make-believe spider webs on the ceiling with a broom (outside). Or constantly sweeping the same spot over and over. Its not bad, but they should really find us something else to do when it’s slow. Even though we have to do all that boring stuff I still like my job. So if you live anywhere near a city or a suburb there’s a D’amico and Sons, so come in and try their food and who knows maybe the fly trick will work.
