California Restaurant Posts Sign Saying 'Zero Tolerance' for Coronavirus 'Gestapo'
An Italian restaurant in California caused indigestion for the “coronavirus gestapo” with a sign asking customers to prove they haven’t been vaccinated.
The owners of Basilico’s Pasta e Vino in Huntington Beach, California, revealed to customers that they are sick and tired of all the COVID Nazis out there, and they posted a sign to let them know, according to The Blaze.

“We have zero tolerance for treasonous, anti-American stupidity,” the restaurant’s sign reads. “Thank you for pondering.”
The media quickly chimed in to attack the establishment, and after one article on the L.A. Times, the restaurant replied.
“Los Angeles Times prints an article about us, and again here come the haters, and with it, the harassing nonstop phone calls, threats, and hundreds of one-star reviews,” the restaurant’s post read. “And guess what? We at Basilico’s Pasta e Vino wear it all as a badge of honor! Attention: tiny tyrants, wannabe little dictators, pro-lockdown/pro-mask/pro-mandatory vaccine mini-Gestapo American traitors and snitches, and yes especially ‘Gavin Pelosi’ and ‘Stronzo Fauci’ … We feel blessed to go into battle against all of you in defense of American liberty and freedom, so bring it on!”
The restaurant is already known for its attitude against the culture of the virus, though. In March of last year, Basilico’s declared itself a “mask-free zone.”
The restaurant’s owners also noted that that they were fined $152,000 for COVID-related violations but they just didn’t care.
