Another sweet little backstory. Nicoletta should be starting to learn something from the life stories of the "old folks". <g>

I wonder how long it will be before the Owner realizes and/or acknowledges that Nicoletta is his step-daughter?

My feelings exactly, she'll start to take something from all of these stories. I'm also thinking that we'll probably be seeing the stories of each of the members of the staff, with each of them discovering the relationship between Nicoletta and Olga as their history is revealed. The preview really stresses this theme, but I guess I'll have to wait til next week to see. Assuming it goes that way, it'll probably be near the end of the series before the Owner discovers it. Of course, I've been wrong before.

At any rate, another good episode, its quite relaxing and enjoyable. While not the best show ever created, If anything this show is extremely consistent, and that's not something I can complain about at all.

In that type of restaurant, it is the wine prices that are excessive, not the quantities... LOL

Considering how much of the plot involved wine and sommeliers... no?

Well, all of it -- but I'd be more concerned if there wasn't much wine flowing in a restaurant like Casetta dell'Orso lol.

Definitely have to agree there, haha. It's only natural in a restaurant like that, that there is a fair bit of wine being consumed. Then as you said, when you take into account that the actual story of the episode was around sommeliers.... Well, I figured it'd be a given :s

Gigi is a really weird character but for some reason I like his voice ^^
Oh and yes I'm really curious what will owner do when he finds out that Nicoletta is really his stepdaughter.

For me this was the best episode until now. It had an interesting story and i never got bored. This series really make everything seem more lovely by the way. I mean is it possible that everyone is nice? I haven't worked at a job were there wasn't at least one asshole.

Another relaxing episode, indeed, I loved how Nicoletta learned something is interesting about Gigi. In addition, I loved to learn every character’s past, and Gigi’s past is somewhat nice.

Gigi's backstory, wow what a complicated one. Now it makes sense why Lorenzo doesn't want to date someone with kids.

I knew GiGi realized Nicoletta is Olga's daughter when he looked at both of them smiling! He is such an interesting character.

Some really sweet backstory, gives this Gigi a lot more personality in the whole story other than eating and being a silent character!

Hmm my least favorite episode so far tbh. I liked the parts which focused on Lorenzo tho.

These people probably drink more wine than water.

Best episode yet! :)

So many truth bombs exploding all around.

And gigi picking up on and outting nicoletta as Olga's daughter ha! Wow! I didn't expect that.

Gigi just became a fascinating character :)
Lorenzo too really! I'm liking him the more I see.

Seriously scenes where Olga is in seem to be those electric scenes too

I was confused about that part. I thought he just happened to be there. But he had a gift in his hand didn't he. I guess she invited him??

I really thought that lady was hitting on him in the cemetery. Guess not since she had a fiance. Unless she just went from being rejected to flirting with the next guy she saw :P

Perfect!

Gigi is sharp :D but nothing less from someone who always picks the right wine.

Gigi is a pretty interesting character, how can one not like a sharp sommelier? I like that we're getting to know more and more backstory.

The series seems to be getting better, or maybe now I have an idea of what to expect, getting these individual backstories, so I can just enjoy the laid-back atmosphere. At least the story of the brothers was more interesting than Nicoletta's romance.
