Angelo Lella, the owner of Al Condominio, a restaurant that opened in the northern city of Verona in March, said the aim was to encourage diners chat to each other instead of constantly glancing at their phones. \u201cWe wanted to open a restaurant that was different from the others,\u201d he said. \u201cSo we picked this format \u2013 customers can choose to renounce technology while enjoying a convivial moment together. Technology is becoming a problem \u2013 there is no need to look at your phone every five seconds, but for many people it is like a drug \u2026 This way they have an opportunity to put it aside and drink some good wine.\u201d<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/panoramitalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/5780-1024x614.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7831\"\/><figcaption>Photo by Al Condominio<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2024\/apr\/15\/restaurant-in-italy-offers-free-bottle-of-wine-to-customers-who-hand-in-phone?CMP=oth_b-aplnews_d-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read More<\/a><\/div><\/div><p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Owner of Al Condominio in Verona says response to the initiative during meals has been very positive<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55,"featured_media":7831,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1907,1908,1807,1877,1822],"class_list":{"0":"post-7823","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-uncategorized","8":"tag-food-culture","9":"tag-free-wine","10":"tag-italian","11":"tag-restaurant","12":"tag-technology"},"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/panoramitalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/5780.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/panoramitalia.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7823","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/panoramitalia.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/panoramitalia.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/panoramitalia.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/55"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/panoramitalia.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7823"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/panoramitalia.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7823\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7832,"href":"https:\/\/panoramitalia.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7823\/revisions\/7832"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/panoramitalia.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7831"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/panoramitalia.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7823"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/panoramitalia.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7823"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/panoramitalia.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7823"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
