Tortoni Tremolo, a musician of many instruments, offends his neighbor Madame Abrah Kadabrah with his practicing, so she puts a curse on him that turns all his notes into nuggets like olives.
The last line notes that curses can take their own course: indeed, as Tortoni conducts his symphony, alert children will note that the horns have some thick orange and green stuff where the notes should be coming out.
Musician Tortoni Tremolo's constant practicing so annoys his neighbor that she puts a curse on him, but to her dismay the spell does not have the desired effect.

 Café Tortoni | Restaurant Review | Buenos Aires | Frommers.com
Twice-nightly tango shows at 7:30 and 9:30pm in a cramped side gallery where the performers often walk through the crowd are worth stopping in for.
What makes the Tortoni all the more special is that locals and tourists seem to exist side-by-side here, one never overwhelming the other.
Do not, however, expect great service: Sometimes only jumping up and down will get the staff's attention, even when they are just a few feet from you.
