People come to the restaurant for the Italian food and have commented that it’s strange to not have as many Italian staff as would be expected any more. This is catastrophic for the industry.
All the "Italian" waiters I know are Bulgarians that know stupid Brits can't tell the difference. One might be Armenian. One even opened his own Italian restaurant.
