AT GIUSEPPES, We Love Our MARTINIS!


"We might never know how utterly charming, brilliant and entertaining We Are, were it not for Martinis"

"A man must defend his home, his wife, his children, and his martini." Jackie Gleason

"Shaken, not Stirred." James Bond --- "Stirred, not Shaken." Stefano Pasini

I like to have a martini, two at the very most--After three I'm under the table,

After four, I'm under my host." Dorothy Parker
