San Francisco -- California restaurant owners said a neighborhood group seeks to keep them from enhancing their eatery's ambiance with a live opera singer and recorded music.
The owners of Colosseo, an Italian restaurant in San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood, want to have Luca, a trained opera singer, serenade diners backed up by amplified recorded orchestral accompaniment, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Thursday.
But the neighborhood group, the Telegraph Hill Dwellers, says it fears the permit eatery owners Stefano Cassolato and Salvatore Nevigato seek for Luca's amplified recorded orchestral accompaniment could be used in the future for louder music -- for example, a Jimi Hendrix tribute concert.
