Pompino!A recently opened central Auckland restaurant has left a bad taste with Italian teacher Arduina Cortesi. She says she was horrified to see the name Pompino, a vulgar term for oral sex on the Queen St restaurant, opposite the Ferry Building. Thinking the proprietors had made a mistake she rang the owner and found he 'not only knew but thought it was a huge joke and when I suggested otherwise he put the phone down'.
The council told Ms Cortesi it had no jurisdiction over restaurant names.
"...left a bad taste...". Ahahaha. Gotta love the NZ Herald journalists sometimes.
