CINCINNATI – In the battle to keep their New York City restaurant going despite sharp restrictions during the coronavirus outbreak, the owners of Il Posto Accanto are relying on something Beatrice Tosci would have considered sacrilege in normal times. “The biggest change is that we offer our food for delivery which never, never, never, ever, ever, ever happened before,” Tosci said. “I like my food to go from the kitchen to the table, and that's it!” However, with New York as the U.S.
epicenter of the contagion and under self-quarantining edicts, she and husband Julio Pena have little choice but to package up their traditional Italian cooking, such as meatballs and pasta, and send them out.
