Chef Polpetta

Two well-chosen adjectives beat five lazy ones. Could you put and between them? Then use a comma. If and sounds silly, no comma: the little brown dog.

Polpetta has painted a bright, cheerful sign for the summer café. Step inside for the bread tasty, or stay for a bowl of our thick creamy soup. Take the table by the window big and watch the street busy below, while our waiters carry tall cool drinks past on heavy, shiny trays. The cat fluffy is asleep by the door, and everything is served with a smile.
Six to find, and two comma pairs are already perfect. Check behind every noun as well as in front of it.
