On Sunday, October 21st, at 11:00 PM, Tomás and Joaco, a couple, were having dinner at the 'Academia della Pizza' pizzeria in the Palermo neighborhood of Buenos Aires. They recounted that they were sitting together on the same side of the table when the manager told them, "This is a family place, so please behave yourselves."
