The username "emilia", which created the listing for Mamas Cafe Baci and then immediately left the above review of this establishment, was registered under the e-mail address tom@italiaamerica.com. That domain is in turn registered to "Bello Giorno" catering, with the contact for that domain being one Tom Schiano whose e-mail address is actually listed as being off of the Mamas & Cafe Baci domain (!). And if you go to italiaamerica.com, the contact link goes to an address at warrencountycatering.com, which in turn goes to the website for Bello Giorno - which is identified as being run by the Schiano Family and then lists Mama's Cafe Baci on its home page as its "sister restaurant". The bottom line: this "review" by "emilia" appears to be a fake positive review by the establishment itself, there was no "husband and I" who "have been all over warren county....but mam's is our new favorite", etc., etc. -- and our site visitors and community members should be guided accordingly.

Our site CLEARLY publishes our guidelines to restaurateurs, specifically stating among other things: "Please do not come into our community and rate and review your own establishment, and/or try to use our site's ratings & reviews functions as a promotional tool or PR vehicle. It is an offense to our community, in that it dilutes the value of our community members' impartial ratings & reviews and openly insults the intelligence of our members and visitors. If you are tempted to post a fake review of your own establishment as though you are an impartial and unbiased patron, please stop and first consider the potential negative reflection upon your establishment, weighing the perceived benefits of a fake review against its potential ramifications and the resulting perception of your establishment in the eyes of our site visitors and members." Nonetheless, from time to time, we still have establishments who come into our community here and leave a glowing "review" for themselves, posing as an impartial patron. We will remain vigilant in pointing out such activities to the members of our community and our site visitors.
