Around Town: Rock stars, they’re just like us
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... EATS LIKE JAGGER … On Tuesday night, Italian restaurant iTalico, received a call that a VIP wanted to pay the establishment a visit. “We didn’t know who it was but decided to keep the kitchen open and wait for all the people to leave,” said restaurant owner Maico Campilongo. Soon after, Rolling Stones lead Mick Jagger walked in through the back door, dressed in a navy sweater with a pop of paisley on his stuck-out collar. “You could recognize him from a mile away,” Campilongo said. A Palo Alto doctor recommended the award-winning restaurant to Jagger – who was feeling pasta, Campilongo said. ITalico was established in 2016, serving up comforting yet complex dishes like grilled octopus with lemon, spinach gnocchi and of course, thin crackly pizza. Jagger began his new tour with the Stones in April and played his first Bay Area show in for the tour at Levi Stadium on Wednesday night. Campilongo has a knack for music himself, performing on Mondays at the restaurant – so he was glad to see the iconic musician at his eatery, posting a photo on iTalico’s Instagram. “Palo Alto is a special place,” Campilongo said.

‘ONE STAR!’: Chefs Review Yelp
When Yelp burst onto the San Francisco scene in 2004, it gave anyone with internet access an opportunity to write and publish opinions on every business under the sun, for better or worse. The lion’s share of reviews fell upon restaurants and bars. Since Yelp’s debut, the hospitality industry has contended with the impact of poor reviews, entitled Yelp Elite behavior, as well as reviews and complaints about mask and social-distancing policies during the COVID-19 pandemic. Still, the platform has remained a vital resource for many who prefer their information distilled into a modular, crowd-sourced format (no matter that the average Yelp rating on a restaurant alone can impact its success and longevity). So what do chefs really think about the website that launched millions of micro food critics across the country?
