Are any restaurant prices the same as a year ago? Beats me. I just eat and pay. 

And I didn’t like seeing the add on charge for use of a credit card. 

Gone. You have not been there lately.

Was glad to see Linda back running that operation.  

Touch of Italy is "running" it, and hired Linda again as onsite manager. She was OPA manager, Ortt manager, and now Touch of Italy manager. She must be doing something right. 

I don’t know about the inside layout of the main dining area?? Still seems funky to me.  The design of that building did us no favors.

Blame a prior OPA board. Anyway, I agree. That said, Touch of Italy may have some ideas in that regard, but no one should expect any major interior cosmetic changes in the summer season. I expect over the coming year Touch of Italy will be announcing any number of improvements in many areas. These people know what they are doing.
