with the owners of Café Allegre, Chef Silvio Suppa and his wife Vittoria, @ R.J. Julia's Bookstore in Madison, CT. Flay was promoting his book "Grill It!" and after his book signing he went to the best place to dine...Cafe Allegre, of course!

He dined on Penne Ala Vodka, Chicken with lemon sauce and drank Cantarutti Pinot Grigio. Flay graciously signed autographs as patrons of Café Allegre politely approached his table - not wanting to disturb him.

He later signed a photo taken earlier in the day with Chef Silvio and Vittoria stating "Grazie" in their native language. He personally told Chef Silvio that his food was superb and would definitely come back to Café Allegre!
