Go To

Location: Easton, Pennsylvania

A restaurant run by a mother and her older son has run into dire straits due to their incompetent management.

Tropes

  • Berserk Button: Gordon becomes furious when he sees defrosted chicken liquid in a washing basin and then rotting produce in the walk-in freezer.
  • Blatant Lies: Rosaria tells Gordon that all ingredients used in their food are fresh, but her lies are thrown in her face when he discovers the mussels served to him were frozen. She keeps up the denial to the point of angering Ramsay.
  • Brutal Honesty: Dustin, the sous chef, tells Gordon how exactly the ingredients are treated even when Rosaria is next to him telling absolute lies.
  • Digging Yourself Deeper: Even when Ramsay shows Rosaria and Gianfranco the awful state of their produce, they say it's only been there recently.
  • Downer Ending: Despite Ramsay's efforts and the increased customer traffic, Bella Luna had to close down three months after the episode due to a dispute with the landlord and the overdue rent payments.
  • My Beloved Smother: Gianfranco feels that his mother's been too controlling with him and put too much pressure on him.
  • Never My Fault: Gianfranco and Rosaria try to put the blame on the other, making Gordon angry at both of them equally.
