A friend had the osso buco also and thought it was very good. Like you, I was surprised Marco had left Izi and Davide. I talked to Davide some but did not push the issue on Marco. He did say he was working somewhere in the Simpson Bay area but I have no idea where. Not sure what precipitated the split and Davide did express it was a tough thing to have happen. Regardless, I enjoyed two meals at Izi and as always, things were running smoothly like one would expect. I wish both Davide and his staff and Marco well with whatever he is doing.
