🥂 60 YEARS OF BOBBY!🍷
Some people celebrate turning 60 with a nice dinner at Cafe Lucci.
Bobby went to Albania. 🇦🇱😂
Today we’re celebrating our owner, founder, w**e director, dad, resident comedian, professional storyteller, and the man who has been keeping Café Lucci well-fed, well-poured and laughing for the last 31 years.
If you know Bobby, you know there’s always a joke, always an opinion, and ALWAYS a bottle of w**e involved. 🍷
Since Bobby was born in 1966, we figured there was only one appropriate way to celebrate his 60th:
🍾 BOTTLES OF W**E FOR $19.66! 🍾
While Bobby is off celebrating in Albania, we’ll be doing what he taught us best here at Café Lucci — opening bottles.
Come have one for Bobby. Have two if you really like him. 😉
Happy 60th Birthday, Bobby! ❤️
Here’s to 60 years of stories, laughs and w**e — and 31 incredible years of Café Lucci.
Gëzuar! 🥂🇦🇱
