RE “That’s amore: Pasta Night at Joan’s,” by Rebecca Villalpando, April 12 issue

What a talent to describe a well-loved restaurant, making note of cherished details and illuminating others that have gone unnoticed. I feel I want to go there right now!

Rebecca has the talent to mesh ideas and visions into one exquisitely crafted sentence. And her feeling for people removes her from an already-rarefied pack into her own singular category.

I am a true fan – ready to read whatever she creates. Thank you for suggesting I peek into your archives. I enjoyed it completely.
