The owners, brothers Tony and Jerry, are at each other's throats. They can't seem to agree on anything, and their constant bickering is affecting the restaurant's bottom line. Customers have been noticing the tension, and some have even complained about the service.
To make matters worse, Tony and Jerry's mother, Mama Di Amore, recently passed away. She was the heart and soul of Casa Di Amore, and her loss has left a void that Tony and Jerry don't know how to fill.

The team quickly discovers that Tony and Jerry aren't the only ones with issues. The head chef, Angelo, is also causing problems. He's been sneaking ingredients from the kitchen and taking them home with him, and he's been rude to some of the other employees.
The Mystery Diners also discover that one of the waitresses, Maria, has been stealing tips. She's been pocketing cash from customers' checks and hiding the evidence. When confronted about her behavior, Maria admits to stealing the tips, but she blames Tony and Jerry for not paying her enough.
As the investigation continues, the Mystery Diners uncover a web of lies and deceit. They discover that several of the employees have been working together to sabotage the restaurant's reputation. They've been leaving bad reviews online, telling customers to avoid Casa Di Amore, and even booking fake reservations to tie up tables.
In the end, the Mystery Diners present their findings to Tony and Jerry. They're shocked to learn about the extent of the problems in their restaurant, and they're grateful for the team's help. With the Mystery Diners' guidance, they're able to address the issues and get Casa Di Amore back on track.
