  • Interview: Rocco Capasso
    

    Yea, great article. Thanks for writing this. Rocco is a great man, and he has some of the best food in Kunming.

    I want to tell one story about Rocco. Last year when he was near Wenlin Jie, a friend and I went to eat at Rocco's. While we were eating, someone tried to steal my friend's electric bike. In the process, they messed up the locking system on the handlebars. As a result, my buddy couldn't unlock the steering column. Rocco found out what happened,and him and an employee helped us carry the bike up his stairs and into his restaurant to store for the night. The next day when my friend went to see about the bike, Rocco had sent an employee down the street to find someone to fix the steering column, so the bike was ready to go when he arrived. There aren't many people who would do this for a complete stranger.

    We have tried to go often to eat at Rocco's to say thanks. Everything is so good. My wife's favorite is the gnocchi with white sauce. I love the pumpkin raviolis, but everything I have ever eaten has been good. If you haven't eaten at Rocco's go. This is a great man who cares about the quality of his food, and he is willing to go out of his way to help a stranger.

    My family has used David's Dental. He is located around the corner from the Carrefour on Beijing Rd. He did a root canal for my wife, and she was pleased with his work. He was careful, and he helped manage the pain. He also filled a cavity on one of my children. Best of all, he speaks pretty decent English. The number is 13888682697.

    Yes. It was an authentic Kindle. We registered it on Kindle and use it all the time to buy books. We have the old Kindle not the new Fire. I might be a little more leery about the Kindle Fire because it's more of a tablet. Here is one on taobao http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=13558016975

    We bought 1 on taobao.com last year and it has been great. They also have covers on there. They were a little more expensive than amazon but not much. There are really copies of Kindles like Apple products so it should be the real deal. You might also check amazon China.

    I can't even get on gokunming without a proxy at the moment. This week's censorship of the internet has been the worst in my 3.5 years.

    My wife and I would love to come try your restaurant.
