I was driving around the other day and found this wonderfully kitschy Italian restaurant and I just had to stop to get a shot. I'm dedicating this post to VP at Livorno Daily Photo as I think he would agree, only a Pisan would like to eat here! It's an all-you-can-eat Italian buffet and from the looks of the place, it doesn't seem to be very refined.
I do like the big red tomato though! And if you'd like to see more red, take a peek at Ruby Tuesday.

Eh bien au moins ça ne passe pas inaperçu !
Looks a nice restaurant, that tower is really cool!
No doubts about to be an Italian restaurant! ;)

on ne peut pas louper le restaurant, bonne idee
How delightful. I'll bet pizza was the speciality.
It's an eye catcher and from personal experience I know the food is good.
@Andy - I was guessing it can't really be so bad judging by the number of cars in the lot and the people queuing. :)
there sure is a lot going on!
seems like a great family place
Busy with so much bright colour! Such a unique place guaranteed to stir the curiosity!
I agree: we would call it 'roba da torta', which is not a compliment, and literally means 'things you throw in a pie'.
Wow, that is one big tomato..
Visiting for Ruby Tuesday 2- hope you can stop by..

that looks like a really fun place to eat! where i grew up, we had a leaning tower of pisa too and when i was really young, it was an italian place but then went out of business and became a frozen yogurt place. i don't remember eating there when it was italian but ate a lot of frozen yogurts there! ours isn't as cool looking as yours...you can see it here https://www.facebook.com/yogurtmill i do miss it though!
That looks like a very interesting place. I am not Italian but if I see that, I'd be curious and try the place.
Fancy Cream Puff
High kitsch!
Yes, the big red tomato is the finishing, kitschy touch!
Locked Red Door
Beautiful!
Come see my RUBY post, I love comments!
You're right, it doesn't look refined, but then all-you-can-eat isn't exactly refined either! As long as the food is good it don't matter anyhow!
You DO make me want to visit Toronto. Sigh... But at least I get to see and feel it through you. I'll take what I can get.
I wonder why the inside is like. Great way to bring attention to a business.
Boy you can't miss that. Even drunk.
If you don't mind, Hal, I might skip this restaurant. There are SO many wonderful Italian restaurants to choose from . . . we don't need to go to marginal ones.
Hysterical - they definitely have kitsch down pat
Unbelievable! :-)
I've heard this is a fun place to go for lunch. :)

I hate the new word verification. Since I have trouble reading those "words", I am assuming others do too.
