Lunch With Difficulty

It was a sunny day and my mother, my brother, my maid and I decided to go eat for lunch. Obviously, I wanted to go to eat my favorite food of all time, sushi, but my mom beseeches to go to this Italian restaurant next to Parque Omar. I wanted to eat sushi, but I decided to let it go and make my mom happy.
"Fine, but I hope its good Italian food." we all agreed and hopped inside the car. I still wanted to eat sushi, but knowing my mom was gratified, I was OK with that.
When we arrived to Parque Omar, my mom walks to this fancy door and on the top it said La Terrasa . I pictured the place like any other restaurant. Very decorative with pretty wall and floor tiles and the floor partially dirty. It was a different story when my mom opened the door.
"Oh. My. God." I stared at the restaurant hypnotized: The floors were sparkly clean, the tiles clashed a lot with the whole restaurant, the place looked Italian and the place smelled like my grandmothers delicious food, 100% Italian.
"See, I told you this place is very nice. Wait 'till you try the food." So we sat down in a table for four, next to the kitchen that had glass windows that showed how the people cooked. I grabbed and opened the menu. I pondered the menu for a very long time. There were so many good things that I couldn't decide.
When the waitress came over to ask us if we wanted to drink, this family of five started to complain.
"Sir, please sit down, we will serve you in a minute." The poor cook said worried.
"No! We have already waited about 45 minutes and we don't have our food!" The cook begged them to stay and so the man gave her another chance. In the end they got their lunch free and My family and I waited more than they did, but when the waitress served us our food, I realized it was worth the wait.
