I remember when I lived in SW Florida 2014-2017, most local “Italian” restaurants were owned by Egyptians for some reason. In NY, NJ, and CT, your Italian food is cooked by Salvadorans or Hondurans even if an Italian (from Italy) is overseeing things.

There’s a Mongolian place nearby which is staffed - and owned - entirely by Mexicans (it smacks of a money laundering operation).

You just never know.

There are two restaurants that I know of on the Upper West Side where the chef is from Italy.
