We both worked in Italy, as a maitre d’ and as a chef – and as people who love being there. Time went by and, after a brief two-and-a-half year detour via New York, home was waiting. So we returned. First we created a corner bar, then a corner pizzeria, and then Anyukám Mondta restaurant – no change from the corner, but that would be too many of the good things in one place. It’s a legendary institution that needs no introduction to many people today – but you don’t say that about yourself!

Because we’d rather just live and live and live happily ever after.
