I agree with LivinCinco. Although I want to see more mom & pop places succeed, but those that failed just weren't good enough. I also went to Azzarelli once and didn't like the food. Are we supposed to open our wallets to support them just because they are locally owned? There are many successfully restaurants like La Finca and SushiHana that continue to drive in customers because they have great food. The economy is bad, being mediocre is not going to keep you in business.
