Where should we eat?

A

Do you two have any plans for the evening?

B

We were thinking of checking out a restaurant in the neigbourhood. Do you have any suggestions?

A

I know this really nice Italian place. The food is fantastic, and the de´cor is beautiful. I’d recommend giving it a try.

C

Actually, I’m not all that crazy about Italian food; I’m in the mood for something a bit lighter.

A

In that case, I know a great little bistro. They make a really tasty seafood platter; the fish is outstanding.

B

It sounds fantastic, but I’m allergic to seafood, so...

A

Okay, well, let me think...Oh, I know this great little place. It’s just a hole in the wall, but they do the most amazing sandwiches. You gotta give them a try.

C

Ella, you took me there last time I visited, and I got food poisoning, remember?
