This is one of the most pathetic owners in Kitchen Nightmares. Both of these two siblings are clueless. The sister is walking around doing nothing while the brother has no clue what is he doing at the kitchen. Poor their father though.

Joseph Barbara. Mafia. That’s my grandfather,” he allegedly said, along with, “Anthony ‘Tony Ducks’ Corrallo, that’s my real godfather.” He then allegedly said he had a man in the room with him who is “here right now. He’s my best friend my whole life, took care of me since I’m a baby.” “Maybe we’ll come over and see you later, if you want. I just don’t have your address. So why don’t you call me back.’’

Just work for a few and you find out some people cut corners and are gross. Like the golden corral that was shut down a few weeks after i quit. So dirty and the cooks would steal food and ive got food poisoning there from eating there food on break

Levantis closed after nine months according to their Facebook because the father wanted to retire. I hope they got some money back since he invested his entire life savings into the restaurant. Dino now seems to be a real estate manager. No idea about Tina.

How they managed to get the steak THAT raw is honestly surprising. It barely had any cooked edge at all

I think it was cooked from frozen. I just don't see how that could have happened, otherwise.

Agreed. My husband recently got a steak that looked very similar. It was frozen when they put it on the grill so the center just thaws and doesn't cook!!!

Yeah that figures, this just felt like one of those that was doomed to fail. The biggest problem imo wasn't the friction between siblings, or the staff, not even the rotten food. It was the siblings' lack of energy and will to work. Too used to going through the motions, no excuse with how they were literally trained, but those types just don't grab opportunities. This is ofc assuming they were the reason for the shutdown.

Gordon knew they were beyond help - the brother and sister presiding over Mold on food and not even basic cleaning anywhere - I don’t need to look up if this stays open or closed - the father needed to either shunt them out completely and try with new people who could make a restaurant work or else close down - Gordon knows this deep down and while it made entertaining tv - as a business it was never going to work - just read the deluded comments from them saying maybe they shoulda stayed Italian but go upmarket ….hmmm…there no talking to dumb idiots like this they are beyond help -
