I show Gusta so much love, because you know what, they deserve it! Gusta is the pizza place on the same street as my apartment, and we like to say it's the best pizza in Florence. The men who work there are from Naples, and Naples is known to have best pizza in Italy. Gusta also owns a coffee shop next door, and a panini shop next to that, that is sooo delicious!
Anyways, we went to Gusta to ask if we could use the restaurant to film, and they were very nice about it. They called Caleb Will Smith, and flirted with me right in front of him. Italians have no shame. They agreed to let us use the place in the morning, before they opened. Not only did they do that, once we got there, they gave us free pizzas, free beers for the actors to use, and even made me my own personal mini pizza. They don't even sell these. They got really involved in the film, laughing and reciting lines. They let us stay as long as we wanted, and pretty much made the customers move around us. No American business would ever do this! Ahh The joy of a relaxed country. At the end, they had us all sign autographs for them, and made us promise to show them the film. Ahhh I love Gusta.
