If you've ever had an espresso, there's a good chance your barista poured it from a La Marzocco machine. The 89-year-old manufacturer is a fixture in homes and restaurants everywhere, and was once the primary supplier for local giant Starbucks; thanks to that former relationship, Seattle became a home away from home for the Italian company, which h...

Italians believe that life's pleasures are a God-given right. By contrast, in the United States, hard work is nearly synonymous with the pursuit of happiness. Maybe because of the romanticized version of Italy portrayed in films like Under the Tuscan Sun, we Americans tend to imagine Italy as a land, of bountiful, untethered pleasure. Despite two...

This is the spirit that animated the practice of leaving a "suspended coffee" or caffé sospeso in Italy.   This habit developed in Naples during World War II and then rapidly expanded throughout the country. People would go to coffee shops and pay a coff...

By John Crudele It's definitely not Starbucks. In fact, the first impression you might get of Caffe Reggio, the Greenwich Village coffee house — yes, with two "f"s — is that its name could be Nobucks. It's cramped, very old and dark. And the bathroom!
