F Read the restaurant review. Circle True or False for each statement.
Maurizio’s
Maurizio’s restaurant opened its doors last week to customers. The owners of this restaurant are Maurizio and
his wife Angelica. The restaurant is located in the Old Quarter of town and is a little small. It has only 25 tables
inside and about 20 tables outside.
Maurizio invited me to his restaurant, and so I took advantage of his offer and had dinner there last week.
I expected it to be very small, but actually it was not nearly as small as I had imagined. It is decorated with a
mixture of traditional Italian style and very modern bright colors. On the day I visited, Maurizio’s was almost
full, but it was comfortable and there was enough space to move around. The customers all seemed very
happy with the new restaurant in town.
The prices on the menu were much lower than I was expecting. Maurizio’s is nowhere near as expensive as
other Italian restaurants like it around town. The menu was a little smaller than other restaurants, but the
quality of the food was almost as good as the expensive neighboring restaurants. I had a delicious pasta dish
with an terrific sauce of tomatoes and eggplant.
Restaurants play an important part in the social life of our town. Unfortunately, the cost of living is always
going up, so it was a pleasure to find a restaurant like this that is affordable. Maurizio’s is by far the most
exciting new restaurant in town.

5 Fernando thinks that this restaurant is good value for good quality. True / False
