Machiavelli's is my favorite spot.

Though it is true, we don't really have traditional Italian places like NY or Chicago.

>All the early generation Italian entrepreneurs are dying and retiring, leaving their restaurants in the hands of their Americanized children who sell them off

Also, holy shit, I did not know this. Thanks for posting it. The big difference is Italian nationals, but still, that's awful.

I've only been to Salumi in Seattle. The line was somewhat reasonable. Def worth the wait.
