While the restaurant could have just removed tables to keep customers apart, Cutraro wasn’t a fan of that idea.

Luigi Cutraro's son, Luca, spoke with Fox News and said that the ghosts have been met with a very positive response.
"It’s definitely put a smile on people's faces after three terrible months," Luca Cutraro said. According to him, the idea was inspired by a trip to the city's downtown area during the lockdown, when the Cutraro family noted that the city looked like a ghost town.
While the ghosts aren't a permanent addition, Luca Cutraro said some may be kept to remind the family business of how they came together during the coronavirus pandemic, when things were at their worst.
