Product Description

TYPE JOHN FRIES IN THE SEARCH BAR TO SEE ALL I HAVE TO OFFER. Thanks, John. Although never released as a single, it has become one of Joel's most celebrated compositions among fans and critics alike; it appears on most of his compilation albums and is a live favorite. The song is effectively a medley of three distinct pieces. "Italian Restaurant" begins as a gentle, melodic piano ballad depicting, in the first person, a scene of two old classmates reuniting in an Italian restaurant and moves on to a rag time section. Rolling Stone ranked it the 324th greatest song of all time on their updated 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list.
